Does anyone know why patches generated in AC disappear in PM? I have "Opaque Background" parameter on. This is driving me bonkers. Thanks.

What are your Display Options for Background Fills set to in Plotmaker? They should be "By Element".

Also, double-click on the View in Archicad, and makes sure its Display Options are set correctly in Archicad as well.

Thanks, Tom. Things are always so easy when you know how. I really don't know how people figure all this stuff out. Thanks again. Maura

Simple: I have 25 people using Archicad. They find every button you can imagine and press it at the exact wrong time to have maximum negative result.

Sooner or later, I figure out what they clicked (or what setting was screwy in the template), and write it down for next time.

Thanks for sharing the secrets of your success. I had the feeling it was something like that. Cheers. Maura
