Windows not cutting walls after auto project or manual manipulation

[Anonymous]

Hi,

     Thank you very much for any advice you see fit to give. I am nearing my deadline and cannot make progress on a persistent issue. For several walls, in several models, I cannot project to a roof object without the wall openings no longer being cut for windows. For my most pressing project, one side behaves as normal, but the other side will not allow me to autoproject, connect any new walls, or fillet with another wall, without the material showing as a matte gray, and the window no longer cuts an opening in the wall. 

I'm processing as builts and am just burning time trying to figure this out. 

I notice other ssues I've simply manufactured workarounds for. I've always had issues with rendering crashes. I've considered updating my machine and software.

Thank you 

Gary

Have you checked all of your Wall Cleanups after doing the Auto Project or other manual manipulation, to make certain that there are no errors/warnings?

David, thank you for your response, Ive learned a great deal from you second handed by reading your responses to others. There was no cleanup issue, and I copied all the objects from this drawing into another fresh blank drawing and it is behaving as normal. When I first looked at it after copying to a new file, the windows were not cutting the walls, just like before,  I switched to wireframe and top view and saw the walls were cleaning up, then went back to realisitc and the whole thing appears to be behaving now. 

This sort of thing is happening more and more when the houses get to a certain size, this, imageattach, rendering, camera, and lighting issues. 

I am looking right now about buying another machine because at present I do everything with a HP Pavilion Laptop. Do these problems, recurrent as they are, sound like something that could be related to needing to reload software, or insufficient hardware? Am i correct in being concerned that the Radeon 7640G graphics card may be why rendering is so arduous?

Thanks Again

Gary

I would check the required hardware recommendations from Autodesk.

Also remember that there is a difference between minimum requirements and recommended requirements.
