Are you publishing a view that was created with a named layer combination, or does the layer combination read as "custom"?

If the view uses a named combination, and those layers are visible for that combination, then I don't know why you would see the behavior you are seeing.

I would ask the same question as Karl:

Set up what you want to see in ArchiCAD; then redefine the view that has been imported to PlotMaker; there should be no problem.

If this doesn't help (my comments and Karl's), email me and I will look check it out for you.

It works with a named layer combination. Thank you for this rule.
