Hide Curtain Wall Doors in the RCP

How can I hide the Curtain Wall Doors in the Reflected ceiling plan using the Model View Options?

Hi Gisele,

You disabled the panels in the Model View Options, so it's really weird that you still see the doors.

When I do the same (AC 26 INT - Windows) then the doors are hidden.

Can you also show the setup of your curtain wall panels, maybe there's another setting that has an effect.
Just one random guess is, that the actual curtain wall door you are using is not supporting MVOs.

Thank you, Bernd,

Here are screenshots of the door's properties:

If your're using "Full" instead of "by MVO" in 2D or 3D, the panels are ignoring the settings of your Model View Option, so there's no way you can hide the visibility by MVO

@Xandros Unfortunately this doesn't work on my side. These settings seem to only control the detail level and not whether doors (panels) are displayed or not.

@Gisele
I've tested a few things and found one possible culprit. When I use "Projection Mode: Symbolic" for "Cut Components" (see Screenshot) then my MVOs don't seem to have an effect on the panels.

Not sure if that's intended by Archicad or whether it's a bug. When I go into the curtain wall edit mode, then the panels are hidden as per MVO.
So if you are also using this projection mode, maybe try "Projection Mode: Projected" for "Cut Components"

Hope that helps!
