Hi
im rather new to archicad 10 i am using windows xp as OS
for some reason in my plan my lines dissapear, i know the objects are still there because when i highlight them they are visible.
and they are also there in 3d view
i at first thought it was my floor plan cut plane but as is in the attatched jpeg i believe this is not the reason
thank you for your help.

You probably have the wall settings beyond the range of the storey settings.
If the wall is set to automatic it will be invisible if outside the range of the storey. Section lines can also do this.

is it possible that my archicad 9 edu could be the reason, what if i uninstall it?
and it was not set to automatic and it was within the range?

when i place the roof and then elevate it is then when it dissapears how do i fix it?

You need to report bugs to your local reseller, who will forward it to Graphisoft.

I got the same problem once and yes this can be fixed by using
"show on all stories" or current story...not a bug but a bit confusing
especially the "set Model view" with the"floor Plan cut Setting" together
with the options of wall or slab etc..
May be Archicad 11 will propose all this stuff together on the same
dialog box, I mean "floor Plan cut Setting" with Story Setting

I've been having a similar problem where I was moving my building to place it on a mesh and all of the interior floors are no longer there on the plans. They're still in the right places on the sections and on the 3d view though. I've check and I do have Automatic set in the show on/link to stories tab in the wall settings window. Anyone have any ideas?
