Detail Tool and Process

Anonymous — Tue, 30 May 2023 10:28:59 GMT

Newbie here. I'm finishing my first project in ArchiCAD. I started it in 9, and upgraded to 10 midstream. I did not merge my project. I'm giving this background in the event that it may be relevant to my issue. With the Detail Tool I identified two details from a wall section, both of which appeared in the Project Map, which is expected. I dragged them into the View Map, where I finished them to my satisfaction. I saved the project and upon opening the next day, they were not to be found. I redid one and the same thing occurred upon opening. I'm working and not getting anywhere. Any ideas? Thanks.

Have the Details disappeared from both the Project Map and the View Map or they disappeared from the View Map but remained in the Project Map?

Unfortunately, they also disappeared in the Project Map. Initially I draqgged the details from the Project Map to the View Map. I initiated the detail process again last night by utilizing the detail tool and identifying a detail from a wall section. It appeared in the project map. Instead of dragging it to the view map, I pressed the "Save View" button to save the detail to the view map. This morning the detail seems to exist in both the Project Map and the View Map. I haven't yet imported it to the Layout yet. I had done that previously with the two details that I "lost." I'll try placing the detail on the Layout and closing the project to see if that is a problem.
