Walls don't show in section when I turn layer on

[Anonymous]

I'm working in an AC13 teamwork project. I go to one of my sections (this also happens in elevations) and I turn on the layer that the walls are on. Nothing happens, they do not show. I have to right click and say "Rebuild."

We still draw elevations/sections with lines (shhh!) and when I go to turn on all the layers (roof, walls, slabs, etc.) I open the layer settings and turn on the specific layers, then click ok. This does nothing, and as I said, I have to click rebuild for everything to actually show.

1. Is this normal?

2. If not, what's going on?

Thanks in advance.

This is definitly special case.
You shoul check first section edit.
Check the horizontal rate.

The vertical/horizontal limits are fine, all the settings are normal. When I "rebuild" everything shows. Seems to be a disconnect somewhere. Maybe the gnomes that live inside computers running them are napping...

Either the section is set to Manual Rebuild or you have turn on the option 'Update Auto-rebuild Model viewpoints continuously' in Options/Project Preferences/miscellaneous.

It's set to auto rebuild model, and the other option is on!

I've had a problem similar to this before, where I go to the perspective view, and nothing is there, or only some of the elements are showing, even though all the layers are on. Sometimes I have to close and restart ArchiCAD when that happens.

I would think this is a bug.

I do not have that option there. I have to go to work environment/more options to find the "update Auto-rebuild Model viewpoints continuously"

We have hamsters on wheels in ours, maybe we should upgrade to muscle-bound squirrels?

That option is in Options > Project Preferences > Miscellaneous (at least in AC11)

This is my menu in AC13. Looks like the location changed. Or my menus are screwy!

No worries, GS changed the position of these options, I think they had there reasons. But is the option on or off?

[Anonymous]

The option is on, as is the auto-rebuild.
