AC17. home story issue.

[Anonymous]

Everytime i move an object bellow zero of the story of the story the item is on it will disappear and relocate itself on the story bellow.

can i stop this from happening?

iv tried the little "home story" drop down menu in the items settings, but it will just moving it back up to the wrong height.

basicly i want items (objects, walls, roofs, everything) to stay on the story its placed on no mater what the height/location of the item is

Until this logical flaw is fixed (we are promised a fix in an upcoming hotfix - whenever that occurs), you will have to use the mouse menu to reassign the home story.

This is such a tedious exercise that I have decided to stay with 16 until the hotfix is released.

can you explain the "mouse menu to reassign the home story"

if i right click and hit the "relink home story" it still alters the height of the object.

With this issue, AC17 is useless to me.

just playing with it a bit more and have noticed that if i alter the height of things (objects, walls, stairs, etc) in the items setting with a positive or negative value, it stays on the correct story(which you would hardly ever do, most height adjusting is in 3D).

if i change the height in 3d.. or use the right click, elevate option in plan, it will change the story..

Meanwhile you can also use the "Relink to Home Story" command as a work around.

I keep my main floor level at 100 ft.
In the 3d window I can "alt click"- take on properties - a beam at 100'0" magic wand an adjacent slab (also at 100 ft.)
Newly placed beams are placed at 0'0" - not where they should be (100'0")
Both the original and the newly copied beams are are on the same story
but are misplaced in elevation.

Performing the same thing in the 2d window - all new beams are placed
at the proper height. (all are placed at 100 ft.0")

- maybe this has some connection with the
above noted problems ?

this does not work for me

for example.

Story A's height is +1000 from project zero. i have an item placed on story A. i go in to 3d and move it down -200, it will drop down to the story bellow (+800 above project zero).. i then "Relink to Home Story", it will then lift the item automatically back up to the +1000 location to replace it on "Story A".

It should not do that. Fo example:

1. 2nd Story at 100' AFF
2. Move Slab -20'

Use Relink Home Story to assign it again to the second floor.

BTW this is all done in the 3D Window
