Determining Relevant Stories

JKL — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 21:36:33 GMT

How does Archicad determine what stories are relevant to an object?

For example, I cannot get my toilets to show up on the foundation, but the sinks do. The settings are the same throughout-but one is determined to be relevant to the foundation and one isn't (issue posted here:https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Show-On-All-Relevant-Stories/m-p/582360/highlight/true#M169919 )

Any suggestions for having the system determine the toilet is relevant on the foundation?

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon

Something to be aware of, not all objects behave as expected with regards to relevant stories.

This caught me out a while back, no matter what I did objects weren't showing.
From memory it has something to do with bottom or Z value being defined in the objects parameters.

Someone with GDL knowledge might be able to expand/explain further.

Oh, interesting! I'll have to look at the Z value and see if there is a difference there. Even if I put the toilet cutting through that story, it doesn't show, however the sinks are not on that story at all and show. Definitely not behaving as expected!
