AC 10 3d Window only shows a couple of objects

Brad Elliott — Tue, 23 May 2023 15:06:14 GMT

Sometimes when I switch a view to the 3d window only a couple of my walls show up. Changing from Axo to perspective or even selecting things to show doesn't seem to get me the rest of the project to show up. This seems to happen most often when I am switching projects during the course of the day. Once this happens I can't get the rest of the project to show up unless I quit out and start again. Then everything works fine. Is anybody else having this problem?

If you preselect elements in the floor plan and then switch to the 3D view(using F4), AC10 and AC11 will remember those elements as a preselection so next time that you switch to 3D it will show only those elements. To verify when this happens either hit F4 (F5 in windows) while in the 3D window to force AC to clear the previous selections.

I am guessing that this feature might be your problem, since restarting AC will clear the selection and that will show the whole model in the 3D window.

I'll keep that in mind but this happens on first opening the project so it is the first time I go into the 3d window. And usually it is showing walls from elsewhere on the drawing from wherever I was working. My biggest problem is that I can't reproduce the problem on a consistent basis.

Just a wild guess:
What about your OpenGL radius? What is it set to?

32'-9 11/16" and I don't think I've ever looked at this window before. I'll keep an eye on it.
