Jonny_B Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I'm the guinea pig for Architecture 2009 in our office. Trying to get us out of the stone ages. So far drawing using objects has been going pretty well and I've overcome most problems without too much difficulty. This one, however, has me stumped. Since we're going vertical I figured it'd be best to go all out and use the full project manager with views and sheets. I have a problem where something that appears fine in the construct, and looks like i want it to in the view drawing, doesn't appear the same when inserted into a sheet. As shown below, the stairs going down disappear and the sill outside the sliding doors is also gone. Can anyone explain why this might be?

MaxwellEdison Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 This is Post # 11 because I'm confused with your posting strategy... In reference to your actual question, is it possibly something to do with your Cut Plane height, or object visibility in your Display Configuration?

Jonny_B Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 the only way i can see it being a cut plane issue is if there is a lower limit cut plane. where do you modify cut plane height? both sets of stairs should have identical settings in the display configuration, so i can't see why one would show up, but not the other. also, in the sheet layout as well as the view drawing i all object are linked as one xref so i can't modify object properties individually. if it appears in the view drawing, why would it look any different in the sheet drawing if it's referencing the same objects? to explain the posting strategy... i tried to post the image links in my initial post, but the forum won't let members with less than 9 posts post links (to avoid spam bots that register just to post a spam link to another site) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxwellEdison Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Ah, I see. About the posts that is. You can find the cut plane one the bar below your Layout Tabs, directly below your drawing space. If it is not visible, click the dropdown arrow on the right side. If you have a second set that are visible I'd select them both to make sure all properties information is similar. Perhaps one snapped to a bad insertion point and is actually perched in your attic.

Jonny_B Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 got the stairs to appear! finally found the cut plane... had to switch into model space. cut plane in the sheet drawing was set to 3'6", with "display below range" set to zero. As soon as I set the "display below range" to something like -2' the lower flight of stairs appeared. still no luck getting the sill of the doors to appear.

MaxwellEdison Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Whats the object display of that door style look like? Or are there other doors of the same type displaying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny_B Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 it has to be something regarding the display settings for the threshold. any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxwellEdison Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Have you gone into the style manager and had a look at the missing component's object display settings itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny_B Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 this is so frustrating. i hate having to manipulate object display is three different drawings hoping that something i do will fix it. can someone give me a breakdown of how object display inherits across drawings? with construct, view and sheet i have the original, then the original xref'd into a view, then that view xref'd into the sheet. if i change object display in the construct is it inherited through, or do i need to recreate the view drawing to have it update?

Jonny_B Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Have you gone into the style manager and had a look at the missing component's object display settings itself? the component is there, but only the sill isn't showing. i can't manipulate the object display directly because the object is embedded in an xref. i have to take lunch. i'll be back.

MaxwellEdison Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 You X-Ref'ed your door? Well I'd have a look in the source file then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
