Module Wall Missing

Anonymous

Hi All,

Another Module question, this one has puzzled everyone in the office as to why this is happening.

We have the same module in the file (mirrored and not mirrored), yet one of them has a wall missing. It does not happen to this one module it happens to other modules with repeats too.

Refer to image:
Note - They are all the same module, just mirrored, yet one of them has a wall not showing in 3d and elevations but is there in the floor plan.

I find that that is usually caused by overlapped wall Reference Lines between modules. It sometimes happens when just the wall overlaps too, not the reference line, but I find that happens rarely.

The odd thing I forgot to add is how we building this module.

we have 3 files:
1 - Where the module is generated from (one unit)
2 - Block file where all the modules are put together (4 unit modules)
3 - Site file where all whole block files are brought in as one module.

Its only in step 3 that the walls do not display correctly.

You have not added any walls on the affected model? Odd. Have not had the wall reference line issue in one file and not another, so it might be something different. I have had DIFFERENT walls disappearing between files though. End to end reference lines between modules count too...
