I can't zoom into my section

Anonymous

Can somebody help me here? My section view is saved and placed on a sheet. Some where between navigating between views, the section was zoomed out (to 0.0000%). I tried several options:
1. I changed the renovation filter to 'Show All';
2. Deactivate section cut planes;
3. Select all layers to show;
4. Change specific view settings

Attached are two screen shot for reference.

System Specs:
Archicad Version - AC 19
System - Windows 7 Professional, 64bit 2.4GHz, 16GB (RAM)

Your screen shots didn't load. (check Allowed Extensions and Sizes)

Are you zoomed out in the saved view
or on the layout?

BTW.
It's helpful to those responding to your questions,
if you add your version of Archicad & operating
system, to your forum profile.

@ Stress Co. Thank you very much for the note. The forum profile was updated. I was zoomed out in a saved view. I will try to upload screen shots again.

I guess I had to upload the files separately. But please see the screen shot of the saved view attached.

Try "right mouse" clicking while in the
section to bring up sub-menu.
Click "Fit in Window"

Then change the zoomed settings for the View.

I did tried that, and it didn't work either. But this is what I found out trying to source the issue. When the 'Ignore zoom...' radio was deselected from the view settings dialog, the entire drawing became a dot on the screen. And is unable to recover after that.

I have found a way to recover the view.
With the view completely zoomed out, right click and select 'zoom to selection', then inside of View Settings dialog, select 'Ignore zoom...' and 'Fit in window' Please refer to the screen shot.

Thanks for the help!

Hey guys,

I am having this same problem and I'm not sure why. I've been working on this file for weeks and it's been ok. In the last hour this started happening.

1st Floor, Fit in Window works fine
2nd Floor, Fit in Window works fine
3rd Floor, Fit in Window zooms waaaaaayyyyyyy out. And I don't know why. There is some weird stuff near the left of the display too. See enlarged image.

I've tried to turn on all layers and unlock all layers and select the stuff, but I can't select, nor delete anything.

Can someone help me with this?
