RENOVATION FILTER - HELP!

[griggadee]

Hello Experts!

Please help me find a solution to this problem.

I have tried to set my renovation filter to show my demolished elements as transparent but with a red dotted outline. For some reason, the demolished elements now show as a solid background fill which is contrary to the graphics in my renovation filter options.

Does anyone have any ideas how to sort this?

The same element also shows up in solid red in the 3d model view which I also want to change.

Thanks folks...

My problem is even more basic, where is the renovation filter box in AC17? I knew where it was in 16, but in 17 running on windows 8 I cannot get the renovation box to show on screen.

I have tried - documents renovation filters, but cannot find a way of getting the toolbar up on screen. Very frustrating as I want to show elements before new construction and I am not being allowed.

As far as I know it is still in the same place. If you imported your work environment from AC16 try using a different work environment to see if it shows up.

I guess you are talking about the Renovation Palette.
Maybe somehow it got moved outside the screen area.

You can go to the Work Environment Dialog and apply the Standard Palettes scheme. That should bring all your palettes to the screen.

Thank you for that , now found - did it used to be accessible directly from the main menu rather than the palette?

Any way so good so far, however I created my model in Archicad 16, in 17 it has lost all the parts for renovation and demolition! Tab back between the options means I only have the planned status and not the original status. This is on windows, it seems to be fine on the iMac.

Data should not be lost, you just are not able to see it. Do a "New and Reset" in AC17, reset your 'Work Env" and then open the file.

[Eduardo Rolon]

Just to be sure. This is the list that is empty?

[Eduardo Rolon]

If so then using Renovation Filter Options you can export the settings from the iMac and import then in your PC.

The 3D data should not be affected

It was fine on my old windows PC running XP, yes when I toggle between the planned and existing status nothing changes at all, I have the planned status showing but cannot get the existing status to show, and I was rather hoping not to have to redo a load of work.

I will try sending the back up file from my mac at home back to the office and see if this works back as it should.

You can also import the settings from another file. Open a new AC file using one of the standard templates export that one and import it.
