SLAB DOES NOT SHOW IN SECTION

EXPODTL — Wed, 17 May 2023 00:08:46 GMT

Archicad 20

THE SLAB WILL NOT SH0W IN SECTION BUT IF YOU CLICK ON WHERE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE IT LIGHTS UP AND SHOWS THAT IT IS THERE.

I TRIED ERASING IT TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS NOT TWO WITH EACH ONE HIDING THE OTHER.
ALSO, I MADE SURE THAT IT WAS NOT SHOWN AT THE WRONG HEIGHT.
TRIED COPY AND INJECT OBJECT TRAITS BUT THAT ALSO WOULD NOT WORK.
I ALSO TRIED COMPARISON OF SLAB COMMANDS, CHANGING COMMANDS TO MATCH SLAB THAT SHOWED CORRECTLY. THAT ALSO DID NOT WORK. SHOWN HERE IN RED ARE THE COMMANDS THAT I FOUND THAT WERE DIFFERENT AND CHANGED TO TRY TO CORRECT.
I ALSO CHECKED TO SEE IF SLAB WAS LISTED AS EXISTING AND IT IS LISTED AS NEW CONSTRUCTION.
PLEASE TRY TO REVIEW AND GIVE ME IDEAS ON WHAT I AM DOING WRONG?

Could it be that there is more than 2 slabs - so deleting one still leaves more than 2 behind?

Try a new section and maybe even one looking in a different direction.

Have you checked to see if the slab is intersecting with a wall/roof or slab that is hidden but on the same layer number? I had a similar problem where I had used slabs to do the bulk and massing for a project, put these on a hidden layer but when doing sections they were still stopping the final floor slabs from showing up. By the time I'd gotten to this point I had forgotten I had the bulk and massing as a layer at all. Try opening in 3d with all of the layers turned on and see if there could be any clashes with much larger objects.

Try a different building material for the slab and check the current material settings?

Yea, usually that is the case when 2 slabs are overlapping with each other.
