SP2 causing symbols in walls to show full wall breaks/wall hole components where none exist


DuncanR

Question

Recently updated to SP2 and upon opening a project file to make some changes I've noticed that if i amend a wall, a symbol in a wall or an element connected to a wall (e.g. a roof) all 'symbols in walls' start showing a wall hole around the extents of the 3D symbol objects.

 

Wall breaks are off and there are no wall hole components in any of the symbols. Even checked the new wall closure options to make sure they hadn't been activated as a default but they are also off in both symbol options and wall style settings.

 

Undoing the change to an element reverts all items back to normal.

Bug Report submitted but interested to see if anyone else has had this issue with SP2?

 

Attached both the file prior to any changes made with SP2 and after roof edit dialog has been opened and closed with no change so it has affected all walls connected to it.

Thank you for reporting this.

This is a known problem (VB-184186) and should be fixed in an upcoming service pack.

In the meantime, the best way to correct it is to remove the symbol from the wall and place it up against it (without inserting).

Thanks for confirming Matt.

Unfortunately, removing the symbols from the wall isn't an option as this affects every live project that we are working on..that's a LOT of sockets, furniture etc.

 

Following a phone call to SS tech support we have reverted to SP 1.1 until the issue is fixed. Luckily CMD+M with a value of 0 for a single symbol in each wall or opening the roof edit dialog and closing with no action at SP1.1 seems to fix the issue on the 'corrupted' file.

Yeah.  I understand you don't want to do all that for every file.  Moving back to SP1.1 (as tech support suggests) makes more sense.
