Phantom Wall in 3D

Hi There, 

I seem to have a phantom wall appearing in my 3D that is cutting into elements in my model. It doesn't appear in my proposed floor plan and Ive tried looking for it as a demolished wall but it doesn't appear there either. 

I've tried to turn on all layers, and it doesn't appear.... It just keeps on cutting into anything I put in this area. 

Please help. 

Kate.

Turn all layers on (as you have done) as well as set renovation filters to 'show all elements' and graphic overrides to 'no overrides' - all at the same time.

That should allow you to see what ever is there.

 

If that still does not work, check you renovation filter settings to see that existing, new and to be demolished are all indeed set to 'show'.

 

If you still can not see anything, check your 3D filter settings to make sure nothing has been turned of so it won't show in 3D.

I doubt that is it though as all walls would be missing, not just one or two (if it is a wall that is missing).

Hi Barry, 

 

Thanks so much for the suggestion. I've tried all of those ideas and its not there.. 

Nothing is coming up. 

Any other ideas?

It also strangely only seems to cut through slabs and not walls... 

Maybe it is a wall with a transparent material?

But usually you would still see an outline in 3D.

 

In 3D Style settings, turn transparency off.

Have you done any SEO:s with upwards or downwards extrusion?
Could this have mistakenly cut your floor?

That could be it.

Although the portion of the wall is removed in 3D, it is still there and will interact with other elements like slabs.
