Walls don't show in section when I turn layer on

Anonymous

I'm working in an AC13 teamwork project. I go to one of my sections (this also happens in elevations) and I turn on the layer that the walls are on. Nothing happens, they do not show. I have to right click and say "Rebuild."

We still draw elevations/sections with lines (shhh!) and when I go to turn on all the layers (roof, walls, slabs, etc.) I open the layer settings and turn on the specific layers, then click ok. This does nothing, and as I said, I have to click rebuild for everything to actually show.

1. Is this normal?

2. If not, what's going on?

Thanks in advance.

I don't know, isn't your model out of your zoom? Does 'fit in window' bring your model back?

I'm looking at the line drawn section, which is drawn directly over the 3D model. I turn the wall layer on and it doesn't show up until I right click and tell it to re-build model. It's all there, just not turning on right when I turn the layer on. I can't think of what is doing this.

No I don't have any more ideas, better contact your reseller or helpdesk which might send your model to GS.
