confused   Can't Modify walls
Ok, this is driving me crazy! I have my base plan unlocked (I keep locking and unlocking it just to see if that fixes it but it doesn't) I feel like it must have something to do with levels.

I can make new walls. I can't select existing walls or rooms, but the furniture, doors and windows are all accessible.

The time I started experiencing wierd behavior was when I tried raising the elevation of the plan. It's a 3rd floor space, and I wanted the ground outside to be 35' below the floor. I tried adding a level and raising it up, tried a few things, then ultimately just deleted all the levels. At some point, all my furniture (but not the doors and windows) disappeared from my top-down view, but not from the 3d view. So I selected the furniture I wanted to move from the list on the left, and all the furniture came back. But as soon as that happened, I lost the ability to edit the walls and floors. I tried saving and exiting the app, then opening it again, so now I can't even use undo to get back.

So now I have no levels, my plan is unlocked, and all I can touch are new walls/rooms and all the furniture/doors/walls. I can't even select the existing walls/rooms

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Can't Modify walls
Thanks for your file. I fixed it and sent it back to you.
The error was about levels management as you noticed it. Even if you removed all levels, some objects still had a wrong level information, preventing to select them. I'm going to try to reproduce the issue to fix it...

Re: Can't Modify walls
Wow, thanks for the quick response! Hope you can reproduce it! If it helps, I'm running Windows 10 (Version 10.0.16299 Build 16299), have 3 screens going, had the 3d view on and full-size on a separate 1080x1920 screen and had a bunch of other stuff running (so probably taxing my processor/video card).

If I remember correctly, the first time I clicked "add level," It seemed like it didn't work, because there were still no level tabs. It seemed to me that was when it broke, though I didn't notice until later. Also, I had been digging through a lot of options, looking for a way to change the elevation, since it's supposed to be a 3rd story room (and I didn't care to create the other levels, just let it hover).

Happy hunting!

Re: Can't Modify walls
Oh, and I can't find your email. Would you be willing to send it again?

I didn't succeed to reproduce this bug yet, but at the moment, this sounds as a possible reason which would explain why the data was corrupted.

Re: Can't Modify walls
I too cannot modify walls. I select either the room or a wall and the modify walls menu links do not enable. This happens in both 32-bit and 64-bit installations. Thanks for your help.

Re: Can't Modify walls
I think I figured it out, one must create walls over to top of creating a room. Sorry for the newbie stuff. Thanks

Re: Can't Modify walls
I have a similar problem. I imported furniture and texture. Now not only can I not save any modifications to existing designs, I cannot draw any walls at all so I cannot do any new design. Please help me
