Floor Plan Visibility

Anonymous — Mon, 22 Jan 2018 19:30:28 GMT

My model does not show up on "Floor Plans: Level 2" or on any of my ceiling plans. How to resolve?

1) Select a wall and look at its Base Constraint under Properties - you will see that the base constraint is NOT Level 2. Change it to Level 2.

2) On the Ribbon - click on View>>Plan Views>>Floor Plan. You will get options for levels to create plans from. Select Level Plate - which is the level currently associated with the objects. When the Level Plate plan is created, delete the original Level 2 plan from the Project Browser, and then rename the new plan that you have created to level 2 (or whatever it needs to be)

Still, his Level 2 plan view has a cut plane at 4', and that DOES cut some of his wall regardless of which Level they are hosted on, so why does his Level 2 plan not display them?

But they do show up on the Level Plate plan.

OK - I did delete the Level 2 plan and re-create it. No other changes. I get a lot more than was in the original file from the OP.

@chrisplyler - there are times when ours is not to reason why.....

It's because of the Phase and Phase Filter parameter settings of that view.

@Sahay_R I've got to reason why all the time.

@chrisplyler you mean you have the reason why all the time!

Same with the Ceiling Plans. They aren't on an appropriate phase.

Adjusting the Phase Filter solved the problem. Thanks.
