Missing wall skin in 3d view

Steve Jepson — Wed, 24 May 2023 06:53:07 GMT

All the the skins and materials seem to be correctly configured but one of them is not showing up in 3d views or in section views. What could the problem be? And is does not matter what material, fills, etc...that I try to assign to that skin. It refuses to show up in 3d and section views. Looks as expected in 2d. I makes no difference if I make it core, finish, other... ?

Also, in section view, if I click on any part of the wall except for that skin it will select the wall. If I click on the missing skin in section view it does nothing. There is nothing there. Why not ?

Problem fixed. It did not like the 0" thickness assigned to the vapor barrier.
I changed that to .001" and the missing wall skin reappears.

Note: It does not work to type in .001 -- that will default to 1/64" or probably what ever your Calculation or Dimension setting you have. You have to add the " mark. .001"
I don't know if .01" works or not but .001" works for me when I need a 0" material in the all. Why do I need that in the wall? That is a different topic.

Interesting that it makes no difference where the 0" width walls skin is in the wall, it still takes out that one. ? O well. Problem solved.

Try typing 0.001, sometimes adding the zero before the decimal point makes this work.

Hi all, yes, we DO NOT support "0" thickness layers in composites. As a matter of fact, although 0.001 will be displayed, the minimum layer thickness for calculations (surface area, etc..) to work is 0.1mm!!
