items on ground floor showing on floor above?

[Anonymous]

I have columns on my ground floor plan and they are showing up on my floor plan above. I have set the columns to 'show on home story only' and checked all story settings to ensure they stop at floor levels. How do I get the columns to not show up on my story above?

Thanks

Have you checked that your Trace & Reference is turned off?
To test make one of you columns 12" high and if it still shows on the floor above then I would be thinking it is the T & R.

Thanks for the reply Barry,

Yes I tried trace ref on and off, no difference. I tried changing the height of the column and if it is under 4' it does not show up on either plan as the cut level for ground floor is 4'. But 4' or above for height shows up on both stories. Very weird. It does not show up on the 2nd story (which is 3 - ground, 1st, & 2nd). Seems like a 'glitch' or I am missing something?

Make a screen shot so we can see what you see and give us the propertis of this mysterious column

I added some walls on the ground floor and they do not show up on 1st floor, so it must be something with the columns i am guessing?

I tried to add some images, but it will not let me... so frustrating. I made the images super small (200kb) and just tried to post one (which doesn't capture all the parameters) and it still won't let me post it... If I reduce it down to 15kb an it is completely blurred out... useless.
Thanks for any help!

What version of Archicad are you using?

Save your screen captures as JPG or PNG files.
They should be small enough to attach.

Show an image of your column settings and another of your storey settings.

The Floor Plan Cut Plane Settings may also influence this. See attached image.

Thanks for the replies.

I have tried to adjust the floor plan cut settings with no results. I think they are all currently set correct, especially since the walls below do not show, just the plain square 8"x8" columns. I have tried adjusting column heights and nothing makes a difference. I am on AC 18.

And, Laszlonagy how did you get the image to attach? I have tried over and over to attach a screen shot. I saved as .jpg on photoshop as the absolute smallest file it would do - 162kb and it still would not attach? When saved as a .png it was a much larger file.

Thanks,

As far as I can see the default attachment size is limited to 512 kB. But maybe the dimensions (horizontal/vertical pixels) of your attachment are too large.

Hmmm, the .jpg is 1932x1080 pixels... not sure what the limit is? I just printed it to .pdf set up for 8x11... see if this works.
