AC25 Objects representation

I have several objects that were made in AC22. I importet them in AC25 and now they look different in the Plans, but still correct in the Object manager.

I guess it's a representation option, but I can't find it. Does anybody know where it is?

Check your Model View Option settings.

There should be a section in there for object level of detail.

It is probably set to simplified - which for some unknown reason seems to be the default in 25.

Hey Barry

You mean Document -> Model view Option?

I can't find this section for Lod of "selfmade" objects

If it is a self-made object it may not be using the MVO settings.

These are the default library part settings for object LOD.

But it could have its own settings somewhere else in the MVO if it is part of a custom library.

 

Or maybe it just has LOD settings in the object itself and is not using the MVO settings.

I think I have found the Problem, but also found a new problem 😞

 

The Library Object has to be the exact same size like the 2d symbol. That worked on a chair I use in this Project.chair 1.JPGchair 2.JPG

 

but here's the new problem: I created a new 3D Model 190x97, exact size, no 0.0001... When I create a Library Object, the Model is 190x97.1. When I go inside the object to the 2d symbol drawing, the size is correct.

So i build the object several times, but i always ended up with the same problem. Manually changing the object to 190x97 also doesn't work.
