AC25 Model View Options 3D Opening Lines

Georgina_ — Mon, 06 Sep 2021 01:35:33 GMT

I have set up a model view option for 3D/BIMX and unticked "Show Opening Line in 3D" for all windows and doors, and no window/door has a Model View Override, yet I am still seeing opening lines in 3D! Any suggestions? Window appears correctly in preview boxAll options unselected

I don't have AC25. But have you tried at 3D Projections actually to submit Override MVO and 'untick' Opening Line?

I see you are in a Teamwork Project.

Did you send the changes made to the Model View Options Dialog to the server?

Also, is the 3D View actually using the Model View Option that has Opening Lines turned OFF? Or is it using another Model View Option?

But you will need to have the Override Model View Options - on/box checked - in the window settings , and also make it without the Widow Opening box not checked.

I still want the opening lines to show in section and elevation, just not in the 3D window.

I still want the opening line to show in section + elevation though, just not in 3d

Yes and yes - the correct model view option is selected. On closer examination this appears to be a bigger issue the 3D window not responding to MVO settings. For instance in the views below you can see there are different settings for fixtures as well, but changing the model view option doesn't change anything in 3D.

That will not be possible because those MVO settings will affect all Viewpoints generated from 3D, including the 3D Viewpoint and Section/Elevation Viewpoints.

If you really need that, you can use the morph tool to draw the opening lines and put them on a layer that you can turn on or off in any view.

Another possible solution would be to use GDL scripting to modify the MVO Dialog settings so the Opening Lines display can be set separately for 3D and Sections/Elevations. Plus, modify the macro in the default Archicad Library that generates Opening Lines to adjust based on those modified MVO Dialog settings.

you do that 🙂 I bet it is too much bother for most people.
