Annoying bug when editing Complex Profiles

gpowless — Fri, 05 Dec 2014 12:58:28 GMT

Since the last update every time any composite is edited many unrelated composites automatically adjust their height even though the story heights have not changed. Others will sometimes show offsets from the story even though they have not been changed from their default story setting.

Your screen shot shows a Complex Profile, not a Composite. My experience has been that when a Complex Profile is edited, all the other same placed Complex Profiles change to the default height.

Only when the placed complex profiles are the default height of the profile you are editing (note they can never be shorter) and you are making the default profile higher.

If the placed walls have been made higher than the default or you are making the default profile shorter then the placed walls will not change.

The above only applies if your complex profile has a vertical stretch allowed.
If your complex profile is not stretchy then all placed instances will change as well.

Well...semantics aside, the same thing happens to both complex profiles and composites...

The complex profiles are shorter and the vertical stretch is necessarily on. The option to automatically adjust wall heights to the storey heights must be available.

This has only occurred since the last update. It is a bug that needs to be fixed.

I cannot reproduce this with Composites (they do not have a default height like Complex Profiles). What are the steps to reproduce this bug?

Composites seem to change when the complex profiles are edited and when there is a storey height adjustment (any story change). I have found that the composites reduced by -10" consistently.

I'm confused as composites don't have anything to do with complex profiles.

But in the image you posted earlier (of a complex profile wall) I noticed it looked like it was grouped with other walls and there was a Solid Element Operation in place on it.
Looks to me that it might be with a wall that is in a layer that has been turned off?
If that other wall is linked to the stories that might be why your composite walls are seeming to adjust when in fact they are just involved in an SEO?

No SEOs. What you see are some detail elements added to the section. Some of the lumber sections are included in the complex profile. The walls are all grouped on the same layers and there is no hidden layer that would affect this.

As to the composites...I don't know what the connection is. Not all composite walls change but when they do they are reduced by -10".

This is what made me think there was an SEO and grouping with something in a hidden layer.

gpowless,
Can you provide the steps to reproduce this bug.
I am sure Graphisoft would be interested in it if we can give them steps to reproduce.

Simply making any edit of the complex profile results in the change except the in the wall dialog it still shows it as being linked to the upper storey. To correct it I havve to open the wall tool, change the storey to be linked and then change it back to the linked storey. Then it fixes to corrrect adjustment.

The anomoly occurs on multiple walls after 1 single complex profile has been edited.
