Columns appear as holes on view placed on layout

Hi, I have a project originating on AC 21. When migrating to 23, this thing happens:
Some columns disappear from the view when updated on the layout. The columns appear correctly on floor plan view. I noticed that the view appears as if there is a hole, because when the view is moved outside of the layout, grey spaces appear where the columns should be.

Hi Achille,

I hope everything is going well for you!

Thank you for the question and I am very sorry about the issue! From your description, it matches the defect ARCH-4066, which was fixed with the first update of ARCHICAD 23 (4006). If you are still using build 3003, could you update to 4006 and see if this still happens?

(This defect happened when a wrapped column touched a wall, it would not be visible in layout)

Let me know if this helps!

Best regards,
Minh

Hmmm, maybe something about the renovation status of these columns? Have you tried looking through all the states in case they are there somewhere?

No, it has nothing to do with renovation status.

Actually I think its a bug, because if I move a column, and then update the view on the layout it appears correctly.

I had the same problem and found this working solution.
It's good to have this forum around.
