Door & Windows not appearing in plan view

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello all,

None of my windows or doors are showing in plan.
MVO options are set to "show on plans", I've also gone to door/window settings>opening lines to override MVO options but still no luck.

Anybody know what I might be missing?

It could be the 'Floor Plan Display' in the object settings - I find "Symbolic' works best for most circumstances.
I also set the walls to be the same.

Or it could be your Renovation Filters.
Check if your windows are 'New', 'Existing' or 'To Be Demolished' and also check the reno filter settings to see what happens to these type of elements (i.e. they may be set to 'Hide').

Also check floorplan cut plane to see if it is in range of those windows.

Thank you! It was the floor cut plane!

It was set at 60 metres above current floor level... probably because I was sloppy in creating the site mesh (mountainous area in Iceland) before defining sea level and story levels.
