Partial Structure Display Problem

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 10:20:48 GMT

Hello everyone,

I'm using two different set of views as described in the attached image. The problem is that the wall tops in doors are missing when the Partial Structure Display is set to Core Only or Without Finishes.
It seems to me that it can't deal with the turn plaster option using Wall Finish Skins when the view isn't set to display the entire structure.
Can someone tell me if this is one of those bugs you have to patch?
If this is the case this is something that should be addressed as soon as possible.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hello everyone,

I'm sorry to bump this topic but having no answer to this day I just wanted to ask if someone could tell me if I'm doing something wrong or if it's just a bug.

Thanks

Maybe a stupid question but:
You say you are using the "Show Opening Only" option in the Model View Options Dialog.
Do you also have the "With Contours" checkbox checked (As shown in Necko's image)?

Hi everyone,

Finally thank you all for some feedback!
Laszlo I've attached an image with the contours turned on. Unfortunately it won't solve anything .
NeckoFromSarajevo, I've reproduced your solution with the door on the left in the attached image and it gave me the same result as yours. It seems to me there's a problem with the door frame and the plaster!
Any solutions?

Thanks

Can you post an image of what you would like to achieve?

Is it that there are no lines on the two sides on the Door or is it that the overhead line is not dashed?

Hi laszlo,

The problem is that I can't get the lines on the two sides of the door and I can't understand why.
Can you tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

What I see from you screenshots is that out of the three Door the frame of the one on the left is not as wide as the Wall, while the other two is.
In case of that Door the lines are there on the two sides.
This may have something to do with it.

Hi Necko,

It's turned off. Could you please try Using a simple D1 13 door with both casings on, Frame Style 2, Frame Thickness=Wall Thickness and Uniform Frame Width to see if you get the same error? The example you gave me was with a different Frame Style so the error couldn't be observed, I suppose.
I've tried your solution and, as you can se by the image, had no problem. The problem comes up with the type of door casing I'm trying to use.
Let's hope It's just something I'm missing as I just can't seem to figure out what the problem is!

Sorry Laszlo, I didn't see your reply. So do you think this is a bug?

Can you save the Wall into a new file with Save As?
Then clear all other elements, Stories, Sections/Elevations etc. unused Attributes, the whole Layout Book and Publisher Sets, all Views except for the two Views used here.
Make it as small a file as possible.
Then save it as PLA and post it here in a ZIP.
I will take a look to see if the problem comes on my machine too.

Hi Laszlo,

I'm unable to make such a small file so that I could post it here even if it's compressed.
I've uploaded the file to the following links:

http://www.mediafire.com/?ny0tyyttzyt
or
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ny0tyyttzyt/Partial_Structure_Display.pla.zip

I hope you can find out something!

Thank you so much for your availability

What I found is that it is the Reveal option you are using which is causing this.
With the other, simpler Reveal options, the lines are there.
Maybe the Library Part is not written in a way to take this case into consideration.
I would say this is a bug in the script of the Library part.
There is no workaround I can think of. I could not find a combination of parameters that would work either.
I will report this to GS.

Hi Laszlo,

All I can say is thank you so much (I've been banging my head for a while with this problem!). Let's hope this will be fixed in the near future.

You've been great.

Thanks,
I think Necko has also been helpful in tracking this problem.
