missing faces in hotlink modules

[drh64]

I am working on a mutli family project and I am hot linking the unit plans into the master building model.

some of the faces disappear. is this because of my graphics card or a settings problem?

also, the the units do not always update when they are saved....

thanks

Perhaps a screenshot showing us which 'faces' (other than shy residents) are disappearing?

For example are they related to certain stories? Do both the number and heights of your stories in all files match?

If they don't match in height, some elements may be there but hidden behind something. You can check this in the 3D window setting it to wireframe.

If a story is missing, add it to the file and then the missing 'faces' will appear as if by magic. Seriously though, the information is in the module, but can't show until the story is resides on is visible in the file.

I've had the same issues with to many shaky window objects which made the wall disappear. Remove and replace the windows cured it.
I've not seen it specifically with modules though.

Also check that the wall isn't accidentally duplicated in the same place.

I've seen this occasionally with custom profile walls. As Thom notes, replacing windows can help. Sometimes I've had to replace the wall itself as well. Remember that replacing elements loses associated elements such as dimensions that were attached to the original... in all views!

I've seen this problem occur ( a long time ago) when the wall is SEO'd. I vaguely recall that it may have had something to do with windows too. Maybe this will help you narrow it down?
