Problem with window above door

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 09:14:32 GMT

Hello everyone, I'm having a problem in my plan here, I have 2 windows above my door and the door symbol is showing wrong(Pic 1). I realize that if I erase one window it does not change anything, but if I erase both windows the door shows correctly (Pic 2). Why could this be happening?
I've been trying to find out why but can't figure it out. The door and windows are from the Archicad Library, no custom or from any plugin. The only thing I found is that is probably a setting in the windows cause I could not reproduce the error in other file using the same door and windows. but when I copied a window to the new file and put it above the door I have the error right away.

Hi arqrivas,

Maybe this will do the trick. Select the wall hosting the door and windows, and set the Floor Plan Display to "Cut Only".

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Nick

Thanks, Ncornia, that worked for me, (how I never thought in that) I end up using the cut symbol in the wall and it worked better for me in this case, cause I have a window in that same wall that is above the cut plane level.

BTW, I discover what was causing the problem, and was that I put in the windows the option to show projected instead of symbolic. As soon I change it, it works fine.

Thanks!!
