Meshes from ArchiCAD 14 not showing in 15

I recently upgraded to AC15, but on all my files from AC14, none of the topography meshes show up in 3D, only on 2D...any ideas??

Check your renovation status.

Rennovation status is "Existing"

I just noticed as well that the mesh also does show up on sections...only invisible in 3D

If the mesh is not shown in 3D then it will disappear from the sections and elevations so it is the same problem.

Besides checking the Active Renovation Status you can check that the Tag for the Mesh is also Existing.

Also you can try selecting the mesh in floor plan and then use "Show Selection in 3D" to see if it pop's up.

Also verify your View Sets

You might also try to copy paste it from AC14 file to your AC15 file.

Thats the weird thing, it shows up fine in all sections and plans, but just not in 3D

Copying and pasting didn't work either, so I just decided to spend my time remaking it from a DWG out of 14...thats working so far at least!

This may seem elementary... You might try checking your "Filter Elements in 3D" filter to make sure that "Meshes" are visible.
