Saved or not saved in modules

Tom Krowka — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 15:16:05 GMT

have a module. Opened a new instance of AC 11, updated the module, and drew a simple 2-d section with lines, arcs, fills, etc. Saved as a module. When reopened the module later, all 2d elements are gone.

Will save not really save 2d stuff in a module. What elements can or can't be saved within the module?

Thanks

Check the help file. AFAIK 2D info in the floor plan is saved. but not sections at all.

Saving to a MOD only saves the elements in the Story Viewpoints.

Am referring to drawing actually done in the .mod file drawing. It's already been saved from the .pln, then opened as a .mod, lines, arcs, fills added in the .mod, then saved.

What happens to all the lines, arcs, fills, etc, that are added in the .mod. Apparently, they are not saved. Is this correct, or have I missed something.

Only the elements in the Story Viewpoints. If you drew your lines in a SE window, they will not be saved.

Translator's remark:
That means those 2D and 3D elements visible in the floor plan windows.

So the module won't save anything in the SE windows. Won't make that mistake again....
Thanks.
