Viewport display problem

[Anonymous]

I'm running ACA 2014.

Since installing SP1 I've noticed viewports do not display correctly or will not display at all in some cases.

DWG file attached is set up with 3 viewports. If I set a viewport to realistic or shaded with edges etc, then set another viewport in the same manner, the previous viewport disappears totally or part of the model disappears.

Is this as a consequence of SP1 or am I missing something when setting up viewports.

Any help appreciated.

Many thanks

I am seeing the same behavior in your file here.  I tried to reproduce the effect using Walls, Doors and Windows, in a file of my own, but could not.  But if I copied your block into my file, I got the same results.

It appears as though it is related to the fact that your object is modeled on different layers, and each viewport is set up to VPLAYER Freeze the layers visible in the other viewport.  For some reason, when changing the visual style of one of the viewports, the regeneration of the visbile graphics of that block results in some or all of the things that are frozen in that viewport also dropping out of the others.  This is very odd and unexpected.  If I VPLAYER Thawed the layers in all viewports, the issue stopped.

One thing I did note was that running the OBJRELUPDATE command would restore the graphics in all viewports.  REGENALL was not enough.  If you would rather not type OBJRELUPDATE each time, you can find a tool for that command on the View ribbon tab, Appearance panel, by selecting the down arrow portion of the bottom tool in the right column, and then selecting the Regenerate Model tool.
