techdef Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I have a large site model that I share between a few different files. Many of the neighboring buildings are massed out as Massing Models, and the rest are Solid Additions. As of 2023, the Solid Additions don't appear when the model is referenced into a 2nd file anymore thought the Massing Models do. Anyone else? Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 The Solid Addition will only show as wireframe when in a Top/Plan view. This has been true for many, many versions. The Massing Models are Hybrid objects so they show in Top/Plan and all other views. Easiest may be to convert the Solid Additions in the referenced file into Auto Hybrids so you get a Top/Plan view. Or switch to a rendered Top view instead of Top/Plan. Quote Link to comment
0 techdef Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Pat, sadly I am in rendered 3d views... they're just gone from the VP reference (don't even show in model 3d views) I'll try auto-hybrid-ing them and report back. Edited January 27, 2023 by techdef Quote Link to comment
0 Pat Stanford Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Are they in a class that is turned off? Quote Link to comment
0 techdef Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) For whatever reason this xRef'd file is just giving me fits. One screenshot below is my viewport for rendering - the x-ref site model is just missing altogether since updating to 2023. Double-click on the VP and go into the layer the model is on and boom, there it is. Hit Return to Viewport and its gone again. Has this behavior changed intentionally in 2023?

0 techdef Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) PS: Pat, thanks for helping, kind of apropos given the model in question is like half of 90024 zip code Edited January 27, 2023 by techdef Quote Link to comment

0 Pat Stanford Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Not too far away. 😉 Take a look at this thread. Similar issue. Quote Link to comment
0 AlanW Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 @techdefHi Have all you exrefs been updated to 2023? and brought upto date?? in the main file. Quote Link to comment
0 techdef Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 Yes. Good question. That’s a rather annoying ‘feature’ to deal with every year. Quote Link to comment
0 techdef Posted January 30, 2023 Author Share Posted January 30, 2023 Well, to confound matters, when I reference the site model into a new, blank Vectorworks document it shows up and works fine. I tried deleting it from my working file, and even ran "purge" to no avail. Quote Link to comment
Question
techdef
I have a large site model that I share between a few different files.
Many of the neighboring buildings are massed out as Massing Models, and the rest are Solid Additions.
As of 2023, the Solid Additions don't appear when the model is referenced into a 2nd file anymore thought the Massing Models do.
Anyone else?
