Why is a box visible partially only?

Post by Dirki »

Why are some boxes (here: apartment) e.g. the red colored "box 5" (a copy of "box 4") visible partially only?

How can I correct that?

And it is the same when I use the hedge.zip

Dirki:

Where it says "95.32 m2" there is a double wall (one wall on top of the other one). Double walls tend to cause problems for ceilings. After doing my things (eg. making the three yellow boxes invisble), I noticed that the red box is almost completely visible, but it isn't square.

Find the wall, and delete it.

If that doesn't fix the problem, I have another suggestion:
The large room at right has quite a few "loose" (read: not-connected) walls. That makes it difficult to make a good room/ceiling. So... delete ALL walls of the large room on the right and redraw them as ONE consecutive wall.

(edit)
When I import the hedge-model it looks 100% OK.

If all your walls are 296 cm high, you can also choose Edit > Select all menu item, then Plan > Modify walls... menu item, and enter 296 in the Height text field.

Many thanks Hans.

Sorry, I couldn't either find something like "95.32 m2" nor a double wall.
After doing my things (eg. making the three yellow boxes invisble), I noticed that the red box is almost completely visible, but it isn't square.

I deleted these boxes / made them invisible, but without success. And I deleted all walls of the big room, but it kept the same with the boxes staying partially invisible.
If that doesn't fix the problem, I have another suggestion: The large room at right has quite a few "loose" (read: not-connected) walls. That makes it difficult to make a good room/ceiling. So... delete ALL walls of the large room on the right and redraw them as ONE consecutive wall.

I did and the boxes stayed as they were...
When I import the hedge-model it looks 100% OK.

Hmmm, very strange...do not know, what I do in another way...

Thank you Emmanuel,

Okay, there are different heights, but good to know.

Many thanks again, nice greetings, Dirk

Dirki:

I had another look at your file. I changed two things:
- I made all walls 296 cms high
- I deleted the double wall. It's the short wall where you placed the door that connects the big room (at right) with the corridor/hallway at center left.

I then had a look as a virtual visitor and all 3 yellow boxes as well as the red box display correctly. I've sent the corrected file to your email.

Thank you very much for your help, Hans,

I am very glad about it.

Yes, I found that wall now.

And I figured out, that this wall Image
takes effect on the display of the boxes: moving or removing it or adapting its height to 296 cm let the boxes display correctly. Also deleting the "room" of the big room (without changing the wall mentioned before) corrects the display. Very strange...

Many thanks for changing and sending my file, nice greetings, Dirk
