Return of the Bizarre Sill Extensions

Anonymous — Thu, 26 Jan 2006 16:05:15 GMT

I thought I had this one licked: last time, I cut-and-pasteed the whole model into a new file, but this time the model is so much more complicated, it could take a long time to do it, and so I return to my search for an in-model fix. Has this happened to anyone else? What was your solution? It is a weird buggy thing. Thanks in advance...!

those sills just do NOT like you, do they?

I've never seen them like that before.... though I've also avoided the SE library so far...

It may be an SE bug, then...it seemed to happen spontaneously. Curiouser and curiouser...

I can't remember if this was mentioned in your earlier post about the sill extensions, but what happens if you eyedropper the window, delete it, and then re-insert it? doubt it will work, but just a thought.

Deleting and replacing the window doesn't fix it, but check this out: I copied the wall and moved it. You can see that the copy doesn't have the problem, just the original. I thought it was an interaction-with-something-unknown-and-invisible problem, but I tried deleting the original and replacing it with the copy I had just made. And lo, and behold...the sill weirdness had abated. My concern now is that it will come back again...I guess I can just keep doing this delete-and-replace technique. I just can't determine what is causing it initially...

I am guessing you mean when the problem is present? I fixed it, so I will have to wait until it bugs again...or perhaps you mean does this goof it up...oh hang on...running monologue...it does NOT goof it up, but I will let you know if it UNGOOFS it when it occurs again.

I did indeed mean does it ungoof the goof up when the goof is indeed present at the current point in time, in reference to the goofing up of the goofed up archicad model.

anyway, give it a shot if it comes back

cheers,
dan

not getting much luck with those windows, eh? just a thought - when you upgraded your original special edition library did you purge the entire previous objects and macros? it strikes be that maybe you may have some duplicate macros in there? the old sill macro and the new sill macro for example . . . and it's pot-luck which one it picks to generate the window . . . ?

clutching at straws . . . . .
