All door materials showing as all black? Please help!

Anonymous — Wed, 24 May 2023 08:42:11 GMT

Using archicad 22 education license.

Recently upgraded from 21 to 22 and now any door i create gets fully blacked out and i dont know why.

The handle doesnt show either and all materials are correct.

see images for example of what i mean

if anyone knows the solution to this i'd greatly appreciate it, as i currently have to copy doors from old projects i've done, and this gets quite annoying.

Thanks,

Hello,

Save as a pln AC21 your project
Open a new project with a AC22 tpl
Insert your pln as a module
Finaly breaks the link with the module to embed the model in the main file

(if you can with an AC EDU)

Check the Level Of Detail settings in the doors settings dialogue.
If it is set to simple then change it to detailed.
If it is set to 'By MVO' then you can change it to detailed or go to the Model View Option and change the settings there.
