Elements to show in 3D changes

Anonymous
Not applicable
I hope there is an easy setting that I am missing because I am continually having to go back and adjust the stories I want to show in 3D. In the project I'm working on I want stories -1 to 3 to show in 3D. Inevitably this setting is overridden to only show stories 1 to 3. Is there an issue with negative stories? Are view sets remembering this setting and changing it back? I am sure there is something easy I am missing. Thanks for your help.

Yup. My version of the same thing is when I switch to a view that was saved with internal engine / hidden line, and then later on go to 3D (thinking I'm in 'normal' OpenGL mode) and wait for the slow generation.... before I can switch back to the OpenGL engine. I tried to get around it by saving 'reset' views that have the settings that I want, so opening one view resets things to a known state ... but this also moves the camera, which isn't generally what I want to do, so not a perfect solution.

Mike,

Unfortunately this is a bug in ArchiCAD 8.1, so you are not missing anything.
