viewset changes on PM import

Anonymous

I have a drwaing in ArchiCAD, and I've created a Viewset, and then imported the viewset into PM, one of the views comes in fine, but the second brings in something from the other side of the model... it's easy enough to just move it over to get the correct area of the model into view, but it seems to defeat the purpose of the viewset. any iedas?

cheers,

Is the "Zoomed area" set on your view definition?

More to the point, is it set to the remote area that the view is set to when you import it? That could be what's causing the problem....

no the zoom is set to what I want to come up in PM.. see the image (I know it's awesome... ) the cyan block is the area on the AC drawing that the view is set to, zoomed in on, etc.

There is a button in PM to "Fit frame to drawing", maybe there should be one to "Fit frame to extents of saved view" also.
Make sure you:

1) Redefine the view set in AC (right-click on view set, etc.), then
2) SAVE the Archicad drawing. (Otherwise the Plotmaker version won't update properly.)

oddly enough I rebooted the computer, and it fixed the problem, not sure what was up.
