Modules

Hi All,

Just creating modules of apartment types from a Solo project in AC 21.

Method of saving modules is:
Files > External Content > Save Selection as Module.

Today when I opened the Solo project for some strange reason, all the elements have changed into HLM's that they generate.

any Idea why this is happening?

The solution I used to fix it is to break HLM into the project so that it goes back to individual elements. Just want to see what triggers this or is it a bug?

Thanks in Advance.

When you save the hotlink module, there is a check box option to "Replace selection with this hotlink module".
You probably have that checked.

Follow up Question,

When I have a module, and I mirror it in the project where I am bringing in the modules, for some reason the Zone stamp is not in its original spot. (does this for other items too some times)

It only happens on the mirrored module.
