manfredi Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I don't know if I'm missing something - I just upgraded to VWA2011, and I can't seem to see the components in a section viewport. I've tried switching all the usual display buttons on, and I've checked that my line thickness is showing and my sheet layers are not black and white only, but nothing happens. I've tried tweaking the section style line thickness and colour, but nothing happens either, the section looks white with max .35 wide lines, even no matter what rendering I apply to the viewport... This happens both on new files with a couple of walls as test, and on previous files that worked until a few days ago in VW2008 Can anyone help? is this a bug? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Are all of the appropriate layers and classes turned on in the Section Viewport? 99% of the time when things disappear it is a class visibility issue. Quote Link to comment

J Lucas Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Check OIP Section Viewport, Advanced Properties, Display, Show Wall and Slab Components. Quote Link to comment
Pat Stanford Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Is the viewport cropped? If so, could the crop have moved so that it is showing a blank area instead of what you want? Can you see anything in the viewport? Quote Link to comment
manfredi Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 the viewport shows everything as it should, but the actual section appears colourless or not as a proper section, if you know what I mean... not too thick and with no shading or colour within it. Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Make sure the two Advanced properties panels are set-up as indicated... Quote Link to comment
