Elevations

Archicad 28 on a MAC platform. Doing elevations, 3 show up fine, but third one refuses to show up properly. Walls are missing, roof is wrong, many problems

It looks like this view is currently using a 'custom' layer combination. Turning all layers on might show the elevation fully and correctly. Once they are all visible, you can easily hide any layers you don't need using the Quick Layers palette. For a smoother workflow, it’s usually best to create one dedicated layer combination for all your elevations. Save the layercombination and choose this combination in the viewsettings.

No, it's using a standard Building elevation layer combination. the wall shows up in 3D, but not in the elevation

That screen capture does show a Custom layer combination.

Where? I see A2-Building Elevation

See picture in previous message. On the right you are seeing the saved view settings, and along the bottom you are seeing whatever the screen is displaying.

I've tried many different layer combinations, but the wall still does not show up

Try:
- Go to Organizer. 

- On View Map, double-click on the the name an elevation view that works.

- On Project Map, double-click on the Elevation viewpoint (marker) for the problem elevation. It will open that viewpoint, with all the view settings for the open, working view.
If it looks good, right click on the problem view name in the View Map and “redefine with current window settings”. If it looks no good, then problem is in the Elevation settings (the viewpoint, marker settings), assuming the model is fine.

I figured out a work around. Just moved a section to the proper place and called that an elevation. Everything is showing up the way it should be

open an elevation that is showing correctly, with that elevation open, right click the one not showing correctly (do not open that elevation, just right click), redefine with current view settings.
THEN open the elevation. If it still shows incorrectly, it could be a marker setting... is it a linked marker, or do you have fade distant area set?
