Problem with Zones automatic update

Cristina Ki — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 12:23:49 GMT

Hello everyone!

I have a problem with updating Zones in Archicad 29. The Zones don't update automatically, though the Walls are connected properly and the Walls, columns and Zones are in the same Renovation status and the same design options set. On the same story, the Zones from the Area of the Main design options update.

What settings do you think Could be?

Thanks

So the Zones that are assigned to the Main Model work fine, but the Zones that are assigned to Design Options do not? Are they in the same Option? They most likely will only detect elements on the Main Model and within their Option.

It still doesn't work. I did a test and merged the Option into the Main Model and deleted all the other options. The error message is the same.

With zones there can be some surprises.

Yesterday I had an issue with a dormer wall (so vertical height start ≠ 0) protruding into the room.

So look out for other stuff as well....
