Disappearing cross sections and elevations

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 12:13:09 GMT

In Archicad 22, I have been having trouble with my cross section and elevation information disappearing. The icons are still visible in the plan view, but when I try to open a cross section or elevation, on any 2D information or dimensions will be visible.

If I drag a copy of the section or elevation and open that, the window appears normally with all 3D and 2D information. I then have to delete the original section or elevation and change the numbering to keep working.

I have had similar problems. Sometimes saving and completely shutting down the machine and restarting will bring it back, but sometimes not...

Rob,
Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a try.
Perhaps my bad habit of starting a project with a "save as" and clearing out the previous project information is catching up with me ..... should be using a template, but I'm always improving things and want the latest and greatest version of my "template" going forward.

Hi,

Sounds like a rebuilding problem. Next time you see this happen, please try doing a 'Rebuild&Regenerate' (ctrl+alt+shift+R). This might regenerate the geometry and things might appear.

Also, if you have a certain set of steps that triggers this, I would really want to try it myself to see if it is caused by a bug. Could you send me the steps to reproduce this along with a PLA version of the project? (you can send them in a private message)

Thanks,
