Erratic Ghost Story disply of walls above current story

Dennis Lee — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 20:26:11 GMT

My ghost story will not display walls above the current story. It will show stories below fine, but not right above the current story.

This behaviour is limited to only walls, and only walls that have the show on / link to stories setting to be "automatic". When I change them to "current story only", the wall will show up as ghosted in the story below.

When I copy & paste the walls into a blank file, though, even walls that are "automatic" show up fine as ghosted on the story below. I just cannot make it to work in my template file.

What should I do?

Problem solved!!! Silly me... last night I was trying this and that - merging, copy & paste, import & export, etc...and then stumbled across the menu Document ---> Floor plan cut plane
Apprently my previous project (template) had the cutplane (offset) set higher than my new project's stories, and thus the problem of displaying the story above as ghosted.
I did play around w/ floor plane cut plane settings in the view map, but couldn't find the sort of thing in the project map at first.

That's actually a really common (and annoying) problem since the cut plane on your current story might be different than the one on the story you are trying to compare it to.
