I put them in and then when I re-open the window, they're gone. It's not a layer issue. The layer is turned on. They're just gone. It's as if they never existed. It's totally random. Sometimes it will delete one node and leave the rest of the string. Sometimes it will delete entire strings. Is there a fix for this?</T></DIV> Mon, 22 May 2023 22:02:33 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Disappearing-dimensions-in-Sections-Elevations-in-AC10-1188/m-p/30888#M5048 Anonymous 2023-05-22T22:02:33Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Disappearing-dimensions-in-Sections-Elevations-in-AC10-1188/m-p/30889#M5049 No fix, but a work-around: place hotspots where you wish to dimension, and associate the dimensions to these hotspots.<BR /> <BR /> Dimensions disappearing is S/E typically has to do with openings (doors/windows) and objects regenerating and the associativity of the dimensions getting lost in the process.<BR /> <BR /> RE: <A href="http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=64720#64720" target="_blank">this post.</A> Fri, 15 Feb 2008 01:33:45 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Disappearing-dimensions-in-Sections-Elevations-in-AC10-1188/m-p/30889#M5049 Laura Yanoviak 2008-02-15T01:33:45Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/Disappearing-dimensions-in-Sections-Elevations-in-AC10-1188/m-p/30890#M5050 Most of the dimensions that disappear are associated to the top of walls or roof ridges.

Most longtime users of the software have concluded that you just <B>can't associate dimension strings to things in section that also show up in plan</B> -- they just disappear. Dimensioning to Hotspots is a lame, non associative, anti-BIM idea but it is the least bad approach I've found.
