imported RFA showing wrong angle

cocoloco — Sun, 27 Oct 2024 22:21:21 GMT

Hello!

I think I clicked on some settings as it worked before, basically now all RFA files are importing in Elevation Front view instead of top View. Means that on floor plan where suppose to be top view showing, it is showing elevation product view.. I tried to set up different angles and rotate but nowhere I can find how to flip it completely so the object is showing from TOP on floor plan and as elevation in elevations. The standard archicad rotation is whether to left or right .

Funny pics attached for the attention! 😄 Thanks!

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon

There doesn't seem to be any settings before or as you import the object, so check the object settings to see if there is an option to rotate or use top view.

We recently had an issue where an RFA object was coming in laying on it's back (RFA to GDL import). We were ultimately able to fix it by opening the object in the GDL editor and changing one of it's parameters (X angle). Closed out and it was fixed. Not sure if this will solve your issue.

Open the objects gdl, add ROTX ... ROTY ... ROTZ

This should solve the issues.
