Windows (Marvin) Hotspot Issue

Anonymous
Not applicable
I've got an issue when using the Marvin Window and Door library, possibly with regular windows (not sure) that pops up randomly. The windows seem to link themselves to other walls and when the window is selected in 3d, the other wall gets selected. You can see this in the attached image.


In this case the other pink hot spots you see below the window are on the corners of a concrete foundation wall that is obscured behind the brick veneer. Can anyone explain why this is happening?

atlantex,

Each ArchiCAD element has a unique ID that identifies it, and there is a map that records which elements are linked to other elements. There could be a problem with the element unique ID of the window, and therefore it is mapped to the wrong wall.

Please send the file as a PLA (so it contains the library parts) to your local ArchiCAD representative, who will send it to Graphisoft for investigation.

Thanks,
Greg
