Disappearance of all lines - Not showing openings

Anonymous
Not applicable

I work with Archicad since v.6.5 and this is a real first!
I had planned my typical 2-storey building with basement and underneath 2 other stories with the landscape design and then the extended landscape.
After working with other projects I reopened this one and realized that it didnt show any openings in floor plan, I couldn't place a door or window and my first landscape storey didnt show any lines.
After panicking for about 5 minutes I realised that it had to do with the model view options, I had 4 (i never use it actually) and still tried everything and cannot bring it back exactly as it was.
Also, now when I insert a door (I found a way to see it) the lines of the wall are light and not adopt the pen weight of the outline of the wall.
What is wrong???

Hello.
Did you open the project in the same version of AC you made it originally? Because sometimes you can have issues with how things look, because of the changes made to the newer versions of AC. Adjusting somethings should work to solve this things. Check the model view options, Renovation Filters, Structure Filter...

And for the thin lines in the side of the doors, this can be fixed in the wall composite. Change the finishing lines of the materials to the same pen that your using in the edges of the wall.
Here is an example, in this pic is wrong in the next one is fixed.

Here is the other one fixed, I forgot to mark the changes in red but you can see it there the highlighted Brick, there is where you change the pen for the end line of each material

Thank you!
At least it looks the same now!
I thought this pen was for the fill not for the line around it...
I used the same version yes!
It is strange because all these things you mention I never use them. model options renovations filters etc.
I guess it might have to do with some keyboard shortcuts I pressed accidentally. Thank you for your time

Eventually, there is a possibility! That's why in Greece we say "Live and learn"
