To test it I created a new layout book and imported the elevation from the problem file and also imported an elevation from another file. The other file displayed the shadowes and the "problem" file did not. I can't find any settings that would create this problem. The shadows show fine in the AC elevation window. Help please!</T></DIV> Fri, 26 May 2023 13:22:14 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Can-t-get-my-elevation-shadows-in-PM-HELP/m-p/94280#M49287 Anonymous 2023-05-26T13:22:14Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Can-t-get-my-elevation-shadows-in-PM-HELP/m-p/94281#M49288 I presume the pen colours are the same Fri, 06 Aug 2004 03:47:50 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Can-t-get-my-elevation-shadows-in-PM-HELP/m-p/94281#M49288 Aussie John 2004-08-06T03:47:50Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Can-t-get-my-elevation-shadows-in-PM-HELP/m-p/94282#M49289 I checked all the pen settings.

It might be that you turned the shadows on AFTER defining the view, and forgot to redefine the view?

Displayes shadows in AC, will not show them in PM. I do not understand. How would I post the .pln ? It's 3.9 mb.

If it does copy all the extra bits from the old section and then turf it. Sometimes things go wacky and a fresh version fixes things.<BR /> <BR /> If that doesnt work send to me (see PM) and i'll see if it is disfunctional for me too.

Small project</BLOCKQUOTE> You can make it smaller; under Options/Preferences/2D Redraw options uncheck Save Navigator Preview Data With Project Files. Also, save as MOD - lots of stuff gets purged.

Go to attribute manager and delete all (that you can).<BR /> Reset the stories to your project.<BR /> <BR /> Then Merge the old file. Unfortunately you will have to copy and paste (or create modules and merge) of any text and linework on elevations.<BR /> <BR /> It worked after I did that.<BR /> <BR /> You will need to use attribute manager to import the layer sets from your old file too.<BR /> <BR /> Its a lot of mucking around but at least it is a relatively small project.<BR /> <BR /> good luck Sun, 08 Aug 2004 01:18:05 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Can-t-get-my-elevation-shadows-in-PM-HELP/m-p/94288#M49295 Aussie John 2004-08-08T01:18:05Z
