Objects in Plan view disappears from view when turning on trace reference

Anonymous — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 08:43:03 GMT

I'm on a view off one of my storeys, everything is looking fine. I turn on the trace everything and the trace reference appears but everything on the storey turns disappears from view (i can still click it)

The trace reference is definitely turned to translucent (i.e. the intensity is halfway only).

When I'm on a worksheet view and turn on the trace reference there is no issue

Anyone know what's going on?

Is the 'Reference on top' button active?
Try toggling it on/off.

Yes, tried both ways, still nothing.

i've attached two screenshots showing what happens. you can see in the second image I can select stuff, but it's just all white. It's weird.

Sorry - it's because my "Active" slider was down at 0

I never knew what that did - stupid me!

Have you tried using a different trace reference?
