Layer combination confusion

700c — Tue, 30 May 2023 10:35:12 GMT

For some reason my interior elevations will only show the layer combination that's currently applied to the floor plan. If I try to change them to a different layer combination, the little exclamation point appears in the interior elevation tab, but nothing changes in the view. I've tried changing view settings for the interior elevations, but same issue. What am I missing?

Hello 700c,

Do you try to select your both views and apply the same layer combination ?
You are able to duplicate your layer combination to link it to both in a second time.

Yes, nothing seems to work. I've tried making an entirely new layer combination and that cannot be applied to the interior elevations either. They always instantly flick back to the layer combination that's current in the floor plan even though the view settings for the interior elevation assign a different layer combination.

Hello 700c,

I'm sure I'm able to find the reason by reading your pln file.

Christophe,

Thank you - is there a way I can upload it to you privately?

Sometimes the simplest solution is the one that works. After trying to figure this out for nearly an entire day, I closed and reopened the interior elevation tab and the problem spontaneously resolved. Must have been a temporary glitch related to that particular tab. Thanks for your offer to help.

We are experiencing the same problem throughout our office, especially with interior elevations. So I am calling this a bug and it needs to get fixed. If anyone has insight into this problem please post.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for sharing the issue and I am sorry about the experience!

I have tried to replicate this issue on a brand new template file, but I couldn't make this issue happen (the attached GIF will show you my set up). Since I haven't found any similar reports like this in our database, could you provide a bit more information for further investigation?
- Which ARCHICAD version are you using, on which platform?
- Does it happen with every file, even a new one, or with only a specific one?
- Is it a Teamwork file, or a solo project file?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Best regards,
Minh

Minh,

I have been having this problem on some projects and not others. I found this thread and confirm the interior elevations will only show the layer combination that is on the open floor plan regardless of combination assigned to elevations. This in v23 with latest update 4006. The particular files are solo projects migrated up from v20 (but not all migrated files). Note the elevations are both migrated and newly created.

I'll have to go check my few from scratch v23 projects.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing the issue!

Would it be possible for you to share with me a file that will demonstrate the issue after migration for a closer look (so preferably the v20 file you mentioned)?

Let me know here or via PM if you need a link to securely forward the file also!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Did anyone figure out a solution? I've had this on a couple of different files since switching to A25.

Did anyone find a solution? I've had this problem on several files. I open the IE and it instantly flicks off the IE layer combo and switches to the Floorplan layer combo. Sometimes for no reason it resets and starts working correctly, but I can't rely on that randomly happening when we need to get drawings out!! Thanks!

I've dealt with this same issue, happens randomly on different projects. Hoping there's a solution to this?

Fortunately/Unfortunately for many Archicad glitches, I can clear my cache, restart the program, reopen the project, and the glitch goes away. But for this issue that doesn't seem to work...
