Bug AC21 - offset all edges

felcunha
Expert
Hello all,
when I try to offset all edges of two connected walls in 3d, only one of them will be duplicated.
It works well in plan but not in 3d.
Did you experience that ? I'm in AC21 4022 FRA.
Thanks

Did you select all Walls that you want offset in a single step?
Are the Reference Lines of these selected Walls for a continuous polyline?

Hello Lazlo,
I've created chained walls, and either selected them one by on or altogether.
See the results : I've tried it in axonometric and perspective view, it fails the same way. Also in PC...
Works in plan view.Didn't notice it before nor tried with 5012.

Strange. I cannot reproduce this behavior in my ARCHICAD 21 copy. I have the latest build, build 5021, try to update and see if that helps.
The behavior is strange indeed because while you try to define the offset distance, the ghost walls show as if all walls will be offset. But when you finish the operation, only one of them is offset.
I will report this to GRAPHISOFT.

Hello, I've update and it didn't work with 5021 - it seems a bug, I'd like to know if others have experienced this...

I can offset and offset a copy in both 2D and 3D without any problems.

Strange, others didn't have this problem neither. I've just tried with AC20 - even after New and reset all. Really strange !

I just managed to reproduce this.
The first offset and copy of the walls works fine (for me anyway).
But if I try to offset and copy the already copied walls, then it fails and I get just the one wall.

I should say this is version 21 build 5021.

I can't seem to replicate Barry's reproduction of the issue in AC21.5010 so the copying doesn't appear to be the limiting factor.

Whelp. There we go... replicated in AC21.5010
