Column displaying different in plan view and when placed on drawing

Rick Thompson — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 20:08:30 GMT

You can see in the screen shots that on the left I am able to show the Sona Tube as white circle with the 8x8 post on top, and all on the footing properly. That's what I want, but when I place that same saved View on a sheet the round Sona trube columns goes to concrete, or looses it's fill. I am overriding cover fill with 100% and white. Whatever I change it to (say red), but nothing on the placed view??? This is the Column tool. Bug or me missing something?

Thanks

I find when you get discrepancies between the floor plan view and the view placed on a layout, open and repair seems to fix it.

Thanks for the feedback, but unfortunately that didn't help.

You haven’t got a different pen set selected for the view placed on the layout have you? Although unlikely.

Have you tried deleting the view and recreating it? I’ve had an ongoing issue with fill area text not displaying on views that are clearly visible on the model view. I’ve never got to the bottom of it although deleting and recreating the views fixed it partly.

Can you upload a pln with just this column and the problematic view and layout saved? Really want to test it. Or pm.

So...Indeed the logic of the drawing should have been to follow the saved view.

I' ve seen that you are not saving a view but instead you are placing the floor plan on a layout.

So I saved a view and placed it on a layout and indeed the column changed to just the contour. I do no know why this is happening. Maybe it is a setting or a logic....or bug...?

I any case:

I see that all the columns are set to "symbolic cut " instead of "projected" , which might be wrong for the foundation plan, so if you change the floor plan display of the columns then they will show as they should be. Just check the cut level plane height and set accordingly all your elements.

This is a screenshot from the layout.

Thanks for checking it out. It should have been a saved view?? Maybe when I stripped the pln to decrease size I did something. Thanks for the help
