No opening in 3d

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 16:24:35 GMT

I have placed a double door in a curved wall. The 2d representation looks fine but when I switch to 3d there is no door opening. In order to even see the doors I have to change the 3d swing to something other than 0° and then you see the doors swung open and a rock wall behind them (see example below). Any ideas on how to remedy this?

Thanks

Are you sure you don't have duplicate walls on top of each other?

Select just the Door in plan then open the 3D window... Is the opening there. If it is, that's the problem. Delete the duplicate wall(s).

Only one (1) wall. Any other ideas?

Is it a curved wall (one arc) or a series of straight segments, generated by magic wanding and existing curve?

If the latter is true, then you have to redo the wall - you can place a door into any lenght straight segment, AND the rest of the walls will fill in the opening.

Alternatively, the library part might be wrong, even missing the wallhole part. Is it happening with any other wall?

HTH,

It is a curved wall consisting of one arc.

The same library part works perfectly in straight walls. It punches the hole right through the wall like it should.

Sounds like the problem is with the object. Which door object are you using? So I can test a copy on my end.

Pick any door you want. They all do the same thing for me. It's like they won't punch the hole in an arc wall or something. They all work great on straight wall segments, but put them on a curved wall and there's a problem.

I created the wall using the Curved wall construction method. Under that I selected the first option (enter arc wall centerpoint, arc wall start point, arc wall end point). Then select any door and see what you get in the 3d window.

You're right. I've tried a couple of the doors provided with the stock AC8.1 US Library, same result - no opening. I tried one of my own custom doors - it looked fine.

I can't believe nobody caught this bug during the Beta test (me, being one of the testers). I guess not too many testers use the stock library of doors?!

I use stock doors, but I never use curved walls so didn't try that.

Shame on you, Karl!

We have until the end of this weekend to send a bug report into the 8.1 Beta Team on this!

And when you send it in, could you ask them to correct the spelling of the "Treshold" parameter at the same time, too?

Neither did I, because all is well in stock Int library ...

Bug confirmed.

The doors affected in the US library are commercial and metal doors in the "Doors 81" library. The "Doors Classic 81" Library work.

Please re-check with the US library.

It is being corrected.

Confirmed, the "Doors Classic 81" are fine, just seems like many of the doors in "Doors 81" are affected in the US version.

I was out of town this weekend, and wasn't able to get the bug report in before the Beta Team shut down the report center.

Hopefully the Beta/Development Team monitors this forum.

I guess the work-around would be to use the "Classic" doors.

... or to use INT ... until the fix comes.
