Unable to add windows and doors to floor plan view

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 09:16:11 GMT

I was able to add doors on my plan view just fine. Then all of a sudden I can't anymore. I can only add windows and doors in 3d view (not floor plan view). I see the existing doors I added but cannot add anymore. Not sure what I pressed. When I select to add windows or doors the upside down Y appears but nothing happens when I click to add.

-I checked Model View Options and doors and windows are checked.
-I checked Floor Plan display and its set to Symbolic.
-Renovation Filter Option is correct as well.
-I played with the Floor Plan Cut Plane Settings also

Its weird that I was able to add doors and now I cant. Not sure why.

Please help I have a project due today.

Thanks,
Blukap7

Here is a PDF of all the options Model view, renovation, etc. I have checked them all and they seem to be correct. I never changed them in the first place. Wall size is 12'

I am thinking that your grid snap is on.
Is there a little black dot jumping around near the cursor?
If so try to turn that off - I thing the default keyboard shortcut is 'S'.
Or you will find it in the "View" menu.

Perfect! Thanks Barry!

Wow! Just one click and it did it. I spent hours trying to fix the issue, googled everything I could to find a solution, and even thought of restarting my entire project.

THANK YOU!

That's why I have deleted the standard 'S' keyboard shortcut from my Work Environment.
It is all too easy to just hit 'S' and have snapping turned on.
