active class displays not

[Brooke]

Although a door-in wall is shown as having class 'door to be removed' when that class is made active and classes are set to display active only, that door does not display.

Since a door in a wall is in a "Container Object", the class of any containing objects must be set to visible also.

So make sure the wall class is set to visible. If you have made a group of any walls or doors, make sure that the class of the group is visible also.

It is a good practice to always leave the class of groups as None. This makes it easier to trouble shoot when you loose objects.

Okay, I daresay that advice is worth more than it's weight.

Thanks much. I'll search for recommended practices on renovation work, for instance, where one has potentially overlapping / intersecting classes...but maybe that's not really unique at all.
