Patches not showing up in plotmaker

Anonymous

I've got something odd going on: I am trying to plot a viewset that was created in a .plp (teamwork) file.

When I import/update the elevations, any patches that I have placed do not show up, though they are there in the .plp. This happens even after any and all combinations of redefining, bringing the patches to the front, turning on vectorial construction element fills, and sending and receiving changes.

I've not had any problems in .pln (solo) projects.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Jeff

patches (ugh!) are stored as library objects in your project's loaded libraries. whilst your PLC teamwork draft might well have those libraries loaded, the PLP project file might not . . ?

ensure you have teamleader status (with exclusive access could also help) and define the project libraries all over again. then send and receive. also, if you have BGarchiCAD open, ensure that it's quit/closed and started again. it is responsible for loading the libraries of a project file when updating views - if it loaded the libraries before the patches were included it will probably be missing them anyway . . .

Thanks. I reloaded everything as you suggested and it solved the problem nicely. I appreciate the help, especially on these things that turn out to be simple. I'd be dead if it wasn't for this board.
