Windows missing detail in plan view

Anonymous
Not applicable
Can anyone help? I have recently updated to v 11 and I have a problem that when I insert a window in plan view non of the detail appears. The window is essentially blank. Sometimes no frame or glazing lines appear.... It is less than convenient and I can see any settings in the parameters that would affect it...


Help anyone? Ta!

Did you check your Model View Option settings?

Is the Floor Plan View of the window set to Symbolic?

Yes it is set to symbolic, I haven't changed it but now it seems to be working. How bizarre! Thank you!

She has tried several window objects with all the same problem. (No detail, no frame, no glazing etc) As a temporary measure she has changed the properties of the window to be "projected" rather than "symbolic".

Floor plan cut plane set to just catch the bottom part of window materials?
Leaving out rest of window materials/details?

Did you try them at different floor plan scales?
