Copying Walls between stories problem.

Hi,

I´m having a problem copying walls between levels. When I copy and paste a wall on to new level the paste walls becomes 2d (Lines and Fills).
I can copy past on the same level with no problems or in between diferente Archicad projects, but not in the same file.

This is happening only on custom composite walls I created personally. If I use a composite wall that came with Archicad it works fine.

I´m Working on Archicad 25.

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply, but finally I figured it out what the problem was.
I have a program for translation text (Qtranslate) that was messing out with the shortcuts of Archicad.

 Thank you all anyway.

Perhaps you could share a screen grab of your "Custom Composite Wall" settings?

I´m using the wall layers that come standard with Archicad. It´s Archicad 25 SWE (Swidish)

Are you actually selecting the wall and then copying.it or are you placing a marquee and then copying?

I tried both with the same result.

I doubt this is the case but are you sure you aren't pasting to a Worksheet view? There are a limited number of reasons for AC to explode a 3D element.

 

Is this HELP LINK relevant?

 

Is it just that one composite that is a problem or any YOU create?

No, It´s between Plans. And some times it´s quite random.
If I copy/past to a new file it can work for a while and then it appends again.

 

Is it just that one composite that is a problem or any YOU create?

 

Has the composite been brought in from an earlier version of AC?

 

Have you run "Open & Repair"?
