Unable to change Renovation Status of Stairs

Hi All

 

I am relearning Archicad after a long hiatus.  It's been going very well and the answers I've needed on this forum and on YouTube have been great.  However....

 

I have a stair and I can not change its renovation status from existing to demolition.  What am I doing wrong?

 

I've created a new stairs on both with both demolition and proposed to test this, but then can't change those either.  I'm working in Archicad 22 on a Mac

Is the option not available to you?

Hi Barry

 

No, the options are greyed out

I very rarely use renovation filters.

What would cause it to be greyed out I wonder?

Is this a teamwork file or a stand alone PLN?

Bumping this up - I'm facing the same issue with some doors.

The renovation status bar in the settings were all greyed out too..

As I asked the original poster - Is this a teamwork file or a stand alone PLN?

As a stand-alone PLN I can't think of anything that locks the renovation status.

I don't use teamwork so I can't check if it is a permission thing.

 

Can you access the Renovation Filter Options dialogue OK and make changes there?

Hi Barry,

 

Thanks for your reply.

The file is on teamwork - but I have reserved the element so it shouldn't be a permission thing. I have been using renovation status and it has been working - just some elements from time to time that I couldn't change or edit the status..

 

The Reno filter option dialogue also showed greyed too...

Is changing it via the Renovation Palette disabled too?

 

Would appear that changing a single element within an existing stair to new does not change the overall renovation status.... In 22 anyway.

Hi Ling,

 

Yeah both palette and settings are greyed out. 

I can reserve, delete and create another door on the same wall but all fo them seemed to be greyed out..
