DOOR OPENINGS - SOME SHOW, SOME WONT

[Anonymous]

I am building a house with openings, no door. On two walls they show correctly; on two other walls they won't show...AC16, what the hey?

Do you have duplicate walls in the same space?
The openings will only cut from one wall - the other will remain solid.

No checked that; then rotated a copy the wall that worked, then dragged a copy of the opening that worked, resized, and moved on...do not have time to waste on this problem..ran check duplicates...none!...the magic wand wouldn't work so my fix was the fastest I could figure.....having used AC since 5.5 so that is about 10 upgrades in experience.. I think may be a glitch, but I wasn't interested in figuring out what was wrong, only wanted results.....I really think it has something to do with the Renovation "tool?" It is in the program full of bugs...so I work around it, when I have some down time, will go back and figure out what was going on

Renovation filters aren't glitched and buggy. They just take some time to get used to, if you don't invest the time in discovering how it works then you can't expect it to work.

Simplest thing to do with the renovation filters is to set everything to existing and make sure all your view sets are set to existing renovation filters as well.

Another thing to check is layer numbers. If they are the same they can sometimes have funny joining properties.

Gee wiz, thank you for your input. Have worked with layers/layer sets so long that the renovation tool (to me) IS buggy as it doesn't let Plan A and Plan B and/or Alternate Plan C be considered, but Layer Sets and Layers do, quite easily. I can set up elevations of each of the above: A, B, C and show the differences on sheets...cannot do this with the renovation??? tool.
