Door Selection Settings

[Anonymous]

Been using ArchiCAD for years and have a problem, glitch etc. that Ive never encountered before. Out of the blue the Door Selection Settings (Command + T) will not work for certain doors. Works for all windows, objects, walls, lines etc.. but for some reason if I select certain doors it won't open.

The door shows up in the plan view, elevations, 3D etc. no problem. I can edit (somewhat) via the info box but unfortunately can't fully edit like normal in the door selection settings box because it simply does not come up. Some doors do come up.. others no.

Any ideas?

FYI Im still using ArchiCAD15.. I know I know I need to upgrade..

Appreciate any suggestions.

Jevon:

Just a few more ideas (no guarantees). One issue could be that you are using AC15 with OSX10.10, so upgrading AC or going back to the OS that was current when AC15 was released are two (difficult and/or expensive) options.

You could try placing a Hotspot at a problematic door, deleting it, and placing a new (hopefully) working door in its place. You could also try Merging the problematic model file into a new blank working template file, but this will transfer only the model, any 2D/annotation would have to be copied separately.

There is no hidden setting, it looks like a bug in this file. Good luck.

Yes could very well be running AC15 with the latest OS. I did just recently update the OS so maybe that has something to do with it.

I know Im going to have to just bite the bullet soon and get current on AC - have just been avoiding that expense for the past couple years.

Thanks again for your help/suggestions

Is it just in the one file? If so try a new and reset
File>New and simultaneously hold down the alt (pc) or option (mac) key
You will then have this option available.

It will open a new file in place of the one you had open. It will not hurt any AC file.

I have had the same troubles. I think it might be the fact that I am trying to use old, version 7.0, objects, such as doors and windows, with my current version 16.0 of ArchiCad. When I update the doors and windows to the current version, everything is fine. And it has only happened to doors and windows for me.
