Sections in Archicad

[jakubc]

hello

There's a problem with my sections in Archicad. Everything works well untill I place my section drawing on master layout - then it displays random layers - some of them are hidden and other ones are visible, but not according to settings I've got in my project settings and it seems to be impossible to change these settings in my layouts window. The same problem on two computers, so I suppose its a matter of settings and I simply don't know how to use this tool x)
Anyone knows, how can I fix it to display the same layers as my project?

Looks like the Layer Combinations for those drawings have not been defined.

One procedure in AC to define a drawing is as follows:

1. Save the Project Map item (section, plan, etc.) you need to the View set (right click and choose "Save View" is one of the options or you can use the "Organizer")
2. In The Layers Palette define a new Layer Set with the layers you want on.
3. Switch from the Project Map tab to the View Map and right click the View you want to edit and choose "View Settings".
4. In the View Settings choose the appropriate settings for that View.
5. This View is what you place on the Layout. If the view is already placed you can relink then.

-----
This is one of multiple ways of defining and placing drawings in AC. I would recommend that you read the help files for the items I placed in bold. Also the "Setting up a View", "Saving a View" chapters (pg 368-371) in the Reference Guide.

HTH.
