Doors not Showing in plan view

Anonymous

Hi,

Im very new to ArchiCAD and having some issues with the display of doors in my plan view.

In 3D they are all visible where I placed them however I have just noticed they are not showing up in plan. There is a just a solid wall where they should be.

My floor section cut is set to 1150, im not sure what else to check to make them visible again.

Thanks

Check the Model View Options.
If that is not it then look at Renovation Filters.

Thanks for your help,

after a couple of hours of pain i have figured out my solution.

I had changed the settings of my walls under "Floor Plan Display" and made them outline only, I switched this over to 'symbolic cut' and I have doors again!

Thanks again,
Ben

That would have been my third guess.

Make sure that both the plan and elevation views really are using the same MVO combination and renovation filters.
If you are sure that they are OK then check that the walls have a "Symbolic" floor plan display as well as the actual doors and windows.

"This element is inactive in this view" ..that was the message shown on clicking a half visible door in plan. Then figured out I had messed the display order and the beams below my slab were showing front mot, thus disabling my doors a proper display.

Oh man that happened to me too and stressed me out a lot but you helped me and saved me a lot of time. THANK you so much!
