Disappearing window sash...and other strange things

Anonymous
Not applicable
All of a sudden my elevations and sections are missing great portions of the model. The elevations only show the window holes and not the sash though they appear in 3D. The sash doesn't show in plan view either. In some sections the whole building is gone but not some notes or elevation lines. I think it must have to do with layers but even when I turn them all on lots of stuff remains missing. Yet it's all there when I go to 3D. I am perplexed. Thanks for help

To me, this sounds like the wrong MVO is tied to the views, or at least is getting reset somehow. When you are in a view where windows are missing, check the MVO settings and make sure that you have them set to display.
Agree, Richard. MVO is most likely the issue here as it is the only thing that controls whether windows are visible or not in different views.

Thank you all for suggestions. I seem to be back on track but not sure what I did to get there.

It's all about the settings.

Under BASIC WINDOW SETTINGS > WINDOW SETTING AND ATTRIBUTES > MODEL ATTRIBUTES > 3D DETAIL LEVEL

You need to adjust the 3D Detail level from "by MVO"to "FULL"

And Voilà !!!

Thank you, Ngure D N!
Some of my settings must have gotten corrupted. Casement, fixed and awning windows were not displaying the sashes in 3d views, but other windows were fine. This fixed it. I was going nuts...
