wall

Anonymous — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 08:36:39 GMT

hello!

i have tried to draw a wall in the imported from autocad file and i dont see that wall in 3d. Only above, but not in 3d. Why?
I know how to draw the wall and i see it in another new file..
May it is a problem of units?

Thanks
Veronica

If you have drawn something with the wall tool there should be some result in 3D. Try an isometric view (parallel projection rather than respective) and zoom extents. Sometimes you can have a perspective view that is looking away from the model without realizing it.

One other possibility I can think of is that you drew identical walls in the same location. Elements occupying the same space will cancel each other out.

It might be a lot of thigs ...

Did you try right clicking on the wall, and selecting the Show selection in 3D from the pop up menu?

Two other suggestions:

Maybe you've drawn the wall in 2D, and not as a wall using the 'wall' tool.
or
The elevation of the 3D wall is above or below where you are looking. Try 'zoom extents' to show everything, select CTRL A, then take a perspective or axonometric view.
