i had an archicad 8.0 teamwork file. which is quite big in size but i had some big files like that before and never had this problem.
after working on section, in few section windows the stuff i drew disappears. when i open the section window everything appears for one half second and then disappears even with show all layers command.
if anyone know anything about this please keep me posted.
thanks
i also upgraded to 8.1 and this problem actually appears to be in 8.1 file

show all layers, select all and then zoom to selection. is there a fill showing up around the drawing area?

thanks for replying. but thats not the problem. i can not select anything. the window comes out just as a blank window with origin marker. even with all layers shown and everything on. it shows up for a fraction of a section and boom.... disappears. i tried zooming out and select all command and trying to select with my cursor crossing. nothing, like its not there at all.
Did you:
- zoom to fit - there might be sopmething floating very, very far away
- recreate the section
- check the sectiion settings (depth etc)

yes i have already tried and checked everything. nothing happens. i had stuff from the model and i had all other things drawn like linework and fills and text and everything. and it shows up for a fraction of second and disappears. i dont know its very frustrating to loose all that work.

I once had some tall walls that I was using as operator elements for SEO that normally were hidden and had turned on all layers to check something and then regenerated a section which was buried within one of the walls. Took a while to figure out why the blank screen.
Small possibility.

but unfortunately thats not it. the section line is not cutting through any elements that are hidden. i know the drawing is in there but it disappears after a fraction of section. i checked on all the options on that section too.

It may be a long shot, but you could: Save As... to a new file name; save in 8.0 or even 7.0 format and open in the earlier versions; share the project and resave as a solo file.
If you link the views into PlotMaker, does anything show up?
