"Skewered" Dosch Objects in ArtLantis2

Anonymous — Thu, 11 May 2023 11:07:14 GMT

I've been working with ArchiCAD 12 & Artlantis 2
(on a Mac Quadcore G-5) for about a year.

Recently, my Dosch buildings and car 3D objects distorted... actually
"skewered" when I tried rotating them in ArtLantis 2, and I have no idea as to why. This has NEVER happened before until yesterday, and if anyone
can offer some explanations/resolutions for this I will greatly
appreciate it.

thank you.

I have seen objects distort in Artlantis if they in a nested group and the group is rotated. Not always - seems to be a particular way of grouping. That is a known bug. I have not seen any problems with movement or rotation of individual objects.

Since the objects and the rotation are completely within Artlantis and not within ArchiCAD, you might have better luck posting your question to Abvent's Artlantis forums. You may also want to send your Artlantis archive to Abvent for them to analyze.

Cheers,
Karl

Thanks once again, Karl. I did contact Abvent & they suggested a hotfix I wasn't aware of, and it cleared up some of the 3d object "skewering", but not all of it. After installing the hotfix, I made a brand new atl file with the 3d objects that were causing the problems and they rotated fine (whew!), so what you are saying here makes a world of sense to me...(and yes, this was a huge cityscape file with of lots of 3D people & cars involved).

best wishes,
Todd

Glad it was (relatively) easily resolved! :-)
