2D and 3D view in shedule have red contures and red dimension

PeterN — Tue, 17 Dec 2024 22:16:11 GMT

When i drag the shedule to layout. The contures and lines ind 2D/3D views turned red. Also dimension are red.

It's not a View settings thing

Also it has nothing to do with renovation although it is a new door and is it's so classified

Can by a Issue Manager thing?? I dont use this funcion.

Thanks for help!

Operating system used: Mac Intel-based OS 10.15 catalina

It is possible to change/overwrite this in the layout: Select the drawing in the layout and change the pen in the drawing selection settings:

Thanks for the info, but that's not the case. The pen set is the same also in layout - drawing settings.

I would be suspecting a Graphic Override or Renovation Filter setting in the view settings.

But then why is the schedule looking OK if it has been opened using that same view?

What do you see when you right click on the drawing in the layout and 'Open Source View"?

In the project map it is OK. It will only change when I drag it to the layout.

Looking closer it can't be an override, because the dimension text is still blue, but the lines are red.

I am not sure what else it could be.

No, its not pen override. The pen set is the same!

and the pen color of the dimension and text line is the same!

This sounds like a bug to me. Archicad is infested with bugs like this.

I would try to make a copy of the schedule, open some other view (eg. a plan view) so that current view settings are not the same as with the old schedule, create a new view for the new schedule and then add it to the layout.

Can you try the following?

1. Remove the placed Drawing from the Layout.

2. Go back to the Floor Plan.

3. Set Graphic Override to "No Overrides".

4. Switch to the Layout's TAB.

5. From the View Map, drag the Schedule View onto the Layout.

Does it still display those lines in red?

Is there a solution to this? Because the same issue just happened to me. No idea what happened, but I suspect it happened after adding dimensions to the doors/windows via the 'annotate' function. I haven't had any issues before with dimensioning my glazing/doors. So not sure why this is happening now.

Cheers.

@Maybelline C,

Which Archicad version and op. systems are you using?

Can you write down the exact steps that causes this issue? Maybe attach a screnshot as well?

Hi!

Thanks for responding and apologies to the late reply.

I'm using ArchiCAD 28.2.1 running on macOS Sequoia.

I can't exactly pinpoint what went wrong. But it happened after I add dimensions in the 2D Preview box using the annotate button. The screenshots that I can sent would be exactly what the above images are. I can't find any fault with my MVO or renovation statuses or pen overrides etc. As a source view, it looked perfectly fine. Only when I place it on a layout page, all the lines turn red. I've tried deleting my layouts, re-save all my schedule views and placing them on new layouts but the same still happens.

This is an interesting problem.

Layouts do not use Model View Options, Graphic Overrides or Renovation Filters.

But the drawings placed on the layouts do and they are saved in the view settings.

Now these views seem OK when opened which is the interesting part.

I am not sure I have an answer.

But something I would try.

Select one of those placed drawings and right mouse click and choose "Modify source view settings'.

Change the MVO, GO and RF settings to something else to see if they have any affect (I doubt MVO will have any affect).

You can always change them back or just not save the project.

Change the settings one at a time and it might help you narrow down where the issue is coming from.

Barry.
