Filtering Elements in 3D

Anonymous — Fri, 20 Dec 2013 10:12:31 GMT

Every time I set filter elements in 3D from story to story, it goes back to infinite after reopening of project.
I use one story below all stories as visual favorites place and turning to infinite (3D filter off) causes me problem when switching to 3D. I must set that filter again and again.
Why it is not saved for project or what can I do to avoid this behavior. It happens in AC15,16 full as well as SE version.
Just to mention I cannot use modules for favorites. Currently I use SE version.
Thanks for advice.

Romik:

One way to do this is to save a 3D View of the project in the View Map, which stores the 3D Filter settings, then open that View when opening the project. In the Help files see: User Interface Reference > Dialog Boxes > View Settings Dialog Box: View Settings 3D Only Panel at bottom of page.

Thanks David for advice. I've notice I have some 3D views saved without this filter on so this could cause my problems.

You should be able to open the View, change the 3D Filter Settings, open the View Setting for the View and click on the "Get Current Window's Settings" at the top of the dialog box to make the change.

Yes I've already did so. Thanks.
