Curved wall, empty doors, 3D mess

[Ignacio Azpiazu]

When the empty door is as tall as or taller than the wall and the spacing between empty doors (the solid piece of wall) is short, the front and back face in the wall disappears.

Dragging the opening to make the 'column' wider, or making the opening shorter than the wall, or making the openings at either side D1 metal, makes the problem go away.

AC11 INT 1200. Bug? I am attaching a module in the following post.

Hi Ignacio,

Not a direct answer to your problem, just a remark.

I noticed that door and window empty openings are the only parts of 11 INT library which are not "updated". May be an oversight.
I noticed after This thread that the "column" bug shows, only for these two parts.

Opening the scripts, one can see a desesperate attempt to use WALLHOLE2 command.
So i would not be surprised if your problem is due to to the fact that these parts are "old" parts not updated. Hope you understand.

Just a guess, i will not waste my time to check up. Wait for AC 12.

Cheers

We are having the same problem here. Curved wall with any door or window will cause it to disappear in the 3d window. Empty door/window openings do not cause the magic act to happen, only actual doors/windows.

Anyone know what's up with this? Low RAM, Hot graphics card, etc?

I'm having the same problem. I drew a curved wall and put windows in it. They show up in 3D (perspective). (If I'm lucky. Sometimes the wall disappears before moving the window up.)

Then, in perspective, I drag a window vertically, and the wall disappears though the windows are still visible.

The wall still shows in 2D.

Any solutions or tips?

Thank you, Doug
