Holes in Plans that should not be there.

There should not be any gaps in the walls - these show as I work on the plan but do not show in the model

Selected wall in plan shows solid elements operation, turn all the layers on and see which operator is affecting the 2d display. Check this in 3D window than 2D. Hope this could be one of the reasons.

@Eric Milberger Check the renovation display settings. Could the openings be Demolitions that are active in plan but hidden in the 3D model e.g. if you have the same renovation setting in 2D & 3D are the openings still present in 2D and not in 3D?

OK found the issue. It was footings. The tops were at 0.00 and the bottom of the wall was at 0.00 That caused the wall to stop when it came to the footing.

Was able to drop footings 4" below slab BUT that should not happen.

I put all of my footings on a layer with a different intersection group than my walls to prevent weird intersections like this, though they are usually beams anyway. Also allows for easier selection, isolation and display modifications.
