“ghosting”

[Anonymous]

We are having issues with “ghosting” walls duplicating in the existing drawings because walls that were created in the existing phase, and then demoed in existing phase. How do we find these ghosted walls?

Thanks

Have you looked at your Filters? We have a filter applied to our demo plans that dashes out demo'ed walls like this. You may have one that needs to be turned off.

Also, try to set your floor plan view (either existing or new construction phase) phase filter to none or show all. The demolished walls should show.

The problem is that those walls were created and deleted in the same/wrong phase phase, so the walls are physicaly gone however the "ghost" does not allow new construction walls to be joined.

[Sahay_R]

Have you taken a look at what shows up when you set the phase to None?

[PijPiwo]

Deleted or demolished? it's a huge difference. Can you post a pic of the problem?

The "ghost" still exists however the walls are gone.

Yes I tried setting to none, nothing shows up.

Thanks

Both, deleted and demolished, it was demolished in one phase and deleted in a different phase, so I can not join walls in that spot now.

Thanks,

Just a thought. Have you tried to delete a wall that the ghosted wall was connecting to?

Secondly - do the ghosted lines print? If they don't then that may be the way to go.

the demolished walls were deleted in the wrong phase so the walls can not join in that spot.

Thanks,

No - what I meant was to try to erase a wall that a ghosted was connects to. Maybe that will solve the problem.

Create a wall schedule of existing phase, phase filter set to show
Temporary only (you need to create this filter under Phase settings). See
if anything appear in the schedule.

it joins to another ghosted wall

 This sounds promising...Do i create the temp phase in the model under Manage or in the schedule?

[ToanDN · Accepted solution]

You don't have to create a new Phase, only a new Phase Filter under Manage/Phases.  See below for Phase Filter and schedule view settings.

The reason being is an object created and demolished under the same phase is classified as Temporary.

Toan, correct me if I’m wrong, but shouldn’t phase filter set to ‘none’ display everything. ‘None’ means no filter applied, so either demolished or not, existing or new, the elements should show if they exist in the model. Is ‘temporary’ filter going to reveal anything new, other than 'none' can show?

[ToanDN]

You are absolutely NOT wrong.

But this case appears to be abnormal so I just proposed an unconventional method. I can't guarantee it will work, but it does not hurt to try.

[PijPiwo]

Got it 🙂
