No doors and windows on a layout (visible on the source drawing)

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 22:01:26 GMT

Hi!

A problem with the doors and windows. They are visible on the source view, but at some point they disapeared from the views that were placed on the layouts. What the? Any ideas what might cause the problem?

Source view with visible a layout underlay - you may even notice, that the doors and windows appear differently on the layout (orange underlay in the openings):

Layout:

Thanks!
Piotr

Check settings of the view (in the view map). Maybe there set different Model View Options? Please don't forget, that in ArchiCAD drawing must be saved as a View first and after placed on layout. It's not linked directly with view that you see currently on the floor plan.

It's recommended to organise project view map - make folders structure. Then it will be easier to avoid similar errors.

That was the first thing to check. On the wrongly represented view the settings are te same as on the right one. What's more - the view changed with one actualization of the view but we didn't change anything at all in the view settings. I'm quite confused. We now have 147 views to place nad crop once again in the marketing metrials - I don't want to do that again

The one on the left represents wrongly, the one on the right is correct. There are no dfferences in the cutting plane either.

Hi Piotr T,
Did you check the FPCP for each ViewMap?

A Bug? Ask Local technical support. They must help.

Yup - both has the same settings.

Update - Some of them has different settings, but changing them does not affect the representations of a view on a layout.

Ok... Just to check: Did you save the changes to the original ViewMap?

Yes Probably some kind of a bug.

Hi Piotr, as a last resort: Did you tried to "Open & Repair"?

Another thing I would try before giving up is to utilize the drawing manager and and change one setting for all drawings forth and back to forcefully regenerate all drawings.

Thanks Runxel,

nothing worked so far. We have manually changed the views. The problem persists, so only one member of our team is allowed to update the views - on other computers, as soon as the view is updated, the windows and doors disappears and there is no way to bring them back. So frustrating! Even our local Archicad dealer has no working way of solving this problem. I suppose it may be just a bug - the file is huge and complicated, works in a temawork, so there is a lot of data going in and out. A team of 3-4 people is interacting within it so it also may be a "PEBCAK" but if that would be the case it should be "solvable" but so far - it's not

Years ago there was even an official Teamwork guideline by GS to leave the project every week or two.
Save the project locally and load it back up on the server, then the team joins again.

In an office where I worked some time ago I now dimly remember we had a similar problem, but with walls or so.
Doing the steps above helped back then and saved us from going crazy.

Just shooting my shot, you know.
Only GS can now help.

Dear Piotr,

Thank you very much for the report and I am very sorry about the experience!

Before diving deeper, may I ask whether the issue persists when you save the Teamwork file as a local PLN/PLA copy?

If the issue only happens in Teamwork, then it might be difficult for me to investigate further. I saw that you have contacted your local support. What was the result?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,
Minh

It may be a simple suggestion, but do you have the Model View Options set properly for that saved view?
