No windows in layout

Dontknow — Fri, 26 May 2023 00:21:04 GMT

When I place any project on a layout all my windows are gone in the stories, sections and elevations.
Does anyone have an idea what's causing this?

I assume you are creating views of the plans sections and elevations, and then adding those vies to your layouts with the drawing tool.
If you are not, then you should be.

Those views contain settings that tell the drawing how to display.
Check those settings and see what you have for the Model View Options.
Or it could possibly be the wrong Renovation Filter being set (probably MVO though).

You can check the view settings by right mouse clicking on the view in the view map of the Navigator dialogue.
Or if you are unsure which view is used on the layout, right click on the placed drawing or on the drawing in the layout list of the Navigator and choose "Modify Source View Settings".

Thnx for the info Barry.
But I'm used to place the stories, sections and elevations directly from the Project Map.

I found out that the 'Model View Options' are not standard set as 'modelingview' at the 'Modify source view setting'.
After doing that, it's oké.

I would not recommend to do that.
It is best to create a view in the view map.
That view contains all the settings you will need, and you can alter them if you need to.
You can also create multiple views of the same view point (i.e. multiple floor plans) that have different settings (i.e. same plan with different layers and/or MVO settings).

By having a view with all the correct settings also allows you to open that view at any time.
Then what you see is what you will get in your output.

Might just be the floor plan cut height
