Rounded window, rectangle wall opening

[LeonieCREAD]

Hello

I have my arched windows and doors that take an opening in the rectangle wall. I must have pressed somewhere, before that I didn't have the problem.

Operating system used: Windows

I just reopened my file without touching anything, the windows are rectangle again.

Can you share the file?

Otherwise get in touch with your local support and see what they say.

Yes of course, it's nice. I tried last week but I saw that it was only for external problems but I'm going to try again.

I really have no idea what the problem can be.

I see you have filled the gaps with a morph, which is a good solution to the problem.

I just don't know what the problem is.

If I delete the morphs, the window holes are arched like the windows.

If I just select the wall and drag a copy to the side, the window holes are fine.

I have no idea what is making them rectangular for you.

I am sure it has nothing to do with being an educational file.

And there is no extra elements (after I delete the morphs), just the windows and the wall.

The only thing I can think of is the machine specifications.

But I have never come across this before.

Ignore the chequer board pattern, I do not have your texture library.

I just thought of something it may be though.

Libraries.

I don't have your language version main library, so I loaded my main library - it seems to have the same window objects which is good.

You have a lot of libraries loaded that I don't have - therefore I could not load them.

I am just wondering if there is something else in those libraries that is overriding the windows in the Archicad 27 library.

The only way to find out is to remove all except the main Archicad 27 library.

You will have many 'missing' object, but don't worry, the windows will still be there.

Now see if the window holes appear as they should.

If they do, then there is an issue with one of those libraries.

Which one I couldn't say.

If I had to guess - one of the 'macro' libraries.

If you still have rectangular holes, then that is not the issue.

Don't save the file with the deleted libraries, this is just a trouble shooting exercise.

Thinking about libraries, maybe the wallhole MACRO is not being loaded? This would result in a default wallhole.

I forgot to attach this image.

I think the Archicad 27 libraries are the same, but I am suspecting the wall hole macro is being overridden by a macro in another library.

Removing all of the other libraries will confirm or deny that.

I deleted everything and my openings came back. So I changed the place of the frame I was using in another folder, I deleted the rest and my openings came back. Thank you so much for your time and understanding, you saved me!

That is good to here.

If you are not using particular libraries, then it is best to not have them loaded.

Make sure you have not removed libraries that you have used objects from, like some of the lighting libraries.

Keep those libraries loaded - you will soon see if the problem re-occurs.
