Export layout to DWG missing "earth" fill

st
Booster

Sometimes, randomly, when I export a layout to DWG, fill "earth" is missing from the file.

It is not a permanent fail.

I suppose it is not the PLN's problem nor my translator's because the same file with the same translator can sometimes be exported to DWG with the fill translated as it should.

I have attached the correct pdf export and a screenshot of the failed DWG file.

I use Archicad 25 and it is updated.

 

Looking forward for an answer...

Hello,

 

Could be that scale of the exported hatch is big so you don't see it.

Try to export fill with outline and see if there is a hatch, if there is no hatch still. Try in translator to set earth hatch to convert into solid or something else.

 

Cheers,

Thank you for your quick reply.

I have checked all of your suggestions with no luck at all.

The earth fill still was not exported nor its outline!

 

Then I had an idea.

I drawn a red 2d earth drafting fill directly on the section's view map and a green one on the layout....      .....and...... "Voila!"

 

Everything is exported as it should! (with the same translator!)

 

Now, I am sure that this is another Archicad's bug but how could I avoid it in future?

I guess just need to be careful where you draw elements :).

Glad that you find the solution. 🙂

I am afraid that you didn't understand me because of my bad English!

It was just a coincidence.

It was exactly the same file with the same translator and the earth fill of the cut mesh appeared in the final DWG file as it should!
