Inconsistency with groups on different levels

kh_jea — Wed, 10 Feb 2021 07:35:14 GMT

I've run into a strange/annoying problem.

In a hotel, where the layout is grouped and copied to the different levels, I've noticed on 1 level the group is misplaced by 5cm. Logically all walls are shifted 5cm along the Y-axis, the actual room size/layout doesn't change.

However in 1 room, the entry door isn't moved at all, it is in the same space as the doors on the other levels. The distance between the centre of the wall and the centre of the door should be 71cm.

Has anyone come across similar problems?

Before you suggest ungrouping: I've tried this, but then I lose a bunch of filled in parameters, like Mark etc. So I can't do this.

Do not use Model Groups. they are usually annoying and bugged

Hi,

Could it be some kind of constraint?

However I can't seem to constraint a door so it will be in different locations without any contraints errors given..

Can you share the 2 groups in a project file?

I've already tried "show constraints" there's nothing attached to the door.

I even edited the group and moved the door. On both levels the door moves. It doesn't seem to "reset" the position.

Unfortunatly we're too far in the project to ungroup, or delete and remodel the doors (loss of data).

have found a fix: select door -> Pick New Host -> place door on entirely different wall -> Finish group. Then repeat the proces placing the doors back in the correct place.

I got a warning several dimension were to be deleted, so I'm guessing somewhere on a Floorplan was a locked dimension.
