Plans Not Showing In Layout Book

I'm having issues with placing plans on a layout. All the plans that I place appear blank.

 

Curiously enough that doesn't happen with sections or elevations, just plans.

 

I'm attaching images below.

 

Cheers

The first thing I would try is to set the the drawing frame to 'fit to drawing'.

Currently you have it as 'manually resized', so I am assuming it is not looking at the are where the plan actually is.

I actually read another similar thread that suggested that, and I thought I had tried it, but it turns out I was looking in the wrong place.

 

Your solution worked. Thank you very much!

"Fit to drawing" option makes it even worse for me. The window frame totally disappears. Any other suggestions? Thanks

The window frame has moved to fit to the drawing.

Zoom out and you will find it off in the distance somewhere.

Then just drag it back to where you want it.

I am assuming you may have modelled a little distance away from the Project Origin in Archicad?

Thanks Barry, this is exactly what happened. I didn't assume I was so off the Project Origin's coordinates.
