walls not pasted on the story I want them to

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

I'm using AC11 and this did not happen on AC10.

Does anyone know why sometimes walls seem to "jump" to another floor? It happens sometimes when I try to cut/paste between floors or when I try to stretch a part of the model using the marquee.

I manage to work around such nuissance by changing the wall parameters. I override the "automatic" placement of the wall, specifically picking the story I want; and I change the "show on relevant stories" to "show on home story".
But I'd really like to know why this is happening. Maybe it alerts me into other features that I'm not using that could make my work more efficient.

Thanks in advance.

The pasted walls have the various display definitions that you set for the original wall so they won't show if on the story you paste them to they aren't set to show.

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a feature.

I've often wished the pasted elements would automatically change their homestory and other display settings relative to the story it is being pasted to or better still have the option to make that choice.

The elevation of your walls with respect to the story is also critical. Combined with their floor plan display settings.
