Missing Accessories in 3D with MVO Settings Turned On

Hello everyone, I'm not sure what's going on but my knobs for my cabinets are not showing in 3D. Knobs are turned on with materials set, the 3D Detail Level of the cabinets is set to MVO, and the MVO settings for my 3D View are set to show all accessories, but they're not showing in 3D. Is there another setting somewhere I'm missing? Even if I set the 3D Detail Level for individual cabinets to Full they still do not show.

 

Thanks!

Using the default A24 libraries in the installation folder still doesn't show the knobs. But I can confirm that opening up a new file with the default A24 template (not our office template) the knobs do show! So our office template is broken somehow, but what is it I wonder? What setting did we change? It is not in the work environment because I switched to our office profile in the new file and the knobs were still there.

Hi,

Your template/file is corrupt.

It does not pass the value in the Model view option to the object, but it does store it.

I change the following library parts to work out where the error was.

the 0 is the "hide knobs value"

this shows a 1 for hide, but the stored value is a 0

 

 

when it is turned off it shows the 1.

this is a problem in the file, probably because you upgraded from an earlier version to AC24 rather than building from scratch.

if you open the file in 25 it fixes it.

you can then save the file down to 24, and the fix stays.

see attached file which was upgraded to 25 then saved down to 24.

if you save it down to 23 then open in 24 then the error reappears.

I hope your BIM Manager fixes the template.(or updates the Library so the knobs show up)

I am the BIM Manager 😂

 

But wow thank you so much for your help, it works! Unfortunately we don't have 25 in order to upgrade then downgrade but I think I should be able to use the file you provided as our new template. I really appreciate your time!
