Help...2D data disappeared from section/elevation window.

Okay fellows, this one is a new pickle I have encountered, if anyone else have encountered this problem please help. I'm currently using ArchiCAD 9 on G5 mac. I've been doing alot of work on a specific project and have come close to getting what I want in model and in documentation. I did some "2 dimensional work" on my elevations for the past 2 days...such as dimensioning, labeling, adding some lines and some hatch patterns to complete my elevations. All my elevations were already assigned to a view in the "publisher/view editor" thing so that I could later use it in plotmaker. I've been having a smooth work flow from floor plans to the 3D window, to sections and elevations with no problems. That being said, this afternoon, I re-opened one of my views and to my dislike, all my 2D data were gone!..my dimensions, my text, my extra lines, and hatches..all gone. The only thing visible is my bare model. Why? Please, help.

Thank You so much.

It's about time I returned to this thread, well....it had apparently something to do with the build. The problem had only occured when it was at an earlier build of V9....as soon as I and all the other AC users, whom I kept in touch with who had experienced the same problem, installed the updated build....presto, the problem has yet to be seen again. I admit, I have seen the error message in V9 once or twice on the latest build, but nothing ever happened to my elevations. So all is good

I spoke too soon....
It happened again! on a totally different project...

This is the second time it has happened to me. Amazing...absolutely amazing.
This is gonna be at least an hours work to redo my 2d data...

Luckily, this project is in the early stages...otherwise I'd be doing 4 hours worth.

So I guess, having the latest update still did not fix this type of issue..
