Doors not linked to correct stroy ?

Steve Jepson — Fri, 26 May 2023 09:15:37 GMT

What have I done? All of my doors seem to be on the wrong story or something except for one. I tried to re-link them but that must not be the problem. ??

Steve,

A few things you can check.

My guess is it has to do with what storey the door and/or wall are linked to.

If you are using walls over multiple storeys, the doors should be linked to the storey rather than the base of the wall, so in door settings -> Anchor -> Sill to Storey X.

Else check the height of the wall relative to the cutplane. If the door is below the cutplane it will not show.

You can also look at the door in 3d to see that is actually at the correct height, if it is then you know it has something to do with the anchor or it might be the floor plan display Floor Plan and Section Tab -> Floor Plan Display -> Symbolic or projected.

That looks like the walls and doors have different reno status' to each other and you have a show all elements filter.

Thanks Kristian,
It was reno status. Some how the walls were put on Existing instead of New.
Easy fix.

If you change to a view where the New is not show, the default renovation status changes to Existing, so when you change back to the first view, elements gets placed as Existing. I am not a fan of this behavior. Sometimes I change to Existing Only to check for rogue elements. (The Find & Select palette has Renovation Status as a Criteria, which can help correct this.)
