Copying Walls between stories problem.

AGaspar — Fri, 02 Dec 2022 09:57:12 GMT

Hi,

I´m having a problem copying walls between levels. When I copy and paste a wall on to new level the paste walls becomes 2d (Lines and Fills).
I can copy past on the same level with no problems or in between diferente Archicad projects, but not in the same file.

This is happening only on custom composite walls I created personally. If I use a composite wall that came with Archicad it works fine.

I´m Working on Archicad 25.

Perhaps you could share a screen grab of your "Custom Composite Wall" settings?

I´m using the wall layers that come standard with Archicad. It´s Archicad 25 SWE (Swidish)

Are you actually selecting the wall and then copying.it or are you placing a marquee and then copying?

I tried both with the same result.

I doubt this is the case but are you sure you aren't pasting to a Worksheet view? There are a limited number of reasons for AC to explode a 3D element.

Is this HELP LINK relevant?

Is it just that one composite that is a problem or any YOU create?

No, It´s between Plans. And some times it´s quite random.
If I copy/past to a new file it can work for a while and then it appends again.

Has the composite been brought in from an earlier version of AC?

Have you run "Open & Repair"?

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, but finally I figured it out what the problem was.
I have a program for translation text (Qtranslate) that was messing out with the shortcuts of Archicad.

Thank you all anyway.

Thanks to inform us you could solve it yourself but it will be better if you help others finding the solution fast if you accepted your reply as a solution, thx a lot.

Hello,

I am having the same issue mentioned in the initial post of this thread. When I copy a plan, to another level, the walls show up as lines and fills instead of walls. I am not using any special wall types or have any plug-ins that I am aware of that will cause this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
