Renovation fill for new construction is evaporating

Richard Morrison — Fri, 26 May 2023 00:12:05 GMT

I have set windows to have a renovation designation of demolished with a fill override in the new construction view. When zoomed in, looks good. (See attachment.) Roll the mouse wheel a couple of clicks to zoom out, and the fill vanishes! What could be going on here?

Using AC 17 - 8000 USA Full.

Take a look at your 2D representation settings. Are the window depictions set to be scale sensitive?

I tried playing around with various 2D settings, and no change. The effect is the same for both GS windows and 3rd-party windows. BTW, I'm not changing the scale at all. Just zooming in and out. Fortunately, the fill appears to stay constant after the view has been sent to layout, so it's not a catastrophe. Just really annoying.

Yeah, just trying to think of something that might give the effect your seeing.
Is it all windows and/or files?
Is your graphics card current?
Did you try reopening the file?
A new and reset?

etc

Yes, tried all that. Even tried a couple of different computers with different graphics cards. No change. The little preview of a sample floor plan looks perfect, too. I'm stumped.

What's a little weird is that I just tried it on a new plan with a GS Template, and I can't get ANY fill to display for a demolished window override. The new wall just stays hollow, even though the preview looks correct. Arrrggghh!!! I wonder if this was something introduced in the latest hotfix.

The important thing (if you can work around the display on the screen) is how does it display when you print / publish?

HI!
We checked the phenomenon that Richard mentioned in the post and it is indeed a bug. It has been scheduled to be fixed in a future ARCHICAD 18 Update.
Best regards,
