Hi All,
I’ve got an issue where GH defined VA windows will occasionally decide to disappear and leave their profile opening in the wall. I’ve repeated this with multiple types of windows, built from scratch.
Anyone else running into this one?
Thanks!

Hi Clayton, it looks like other people are having similar issues, but we haven’t been able to reproduce it so far: VA3 BETA: Moving VA Style Object makes it disappear
Is this happening in VisualARQ 3 Beta?
If you update these windows, (with the vaUpdate command, you can use the vaSelWindow command to select them even if you don’t see them), save the model, and open it again, can you see the windows?
Can you recall what were you doing right before those GH windows disappeared? if you can provide any file or steps to help us reproduce that issue, it will be much appreciated!
Hi Francesc,
Yes this is in the current VA3 beta and current R8 release, but I’ve seen the bug since before the VA3 beta was released. The actual trigger is difficult to replicate, but it always is with GH driven windows and doors. The bug will usually start with one window/opening, and then the rest will fail once they are modified, moved, etcetera.
It seems like the GH script is no longer successfully loading or generating geometry for the model?
Reloading the model will fix it. I noticed that also “reloading” (the button below) the GH script in the style wizard will also fix the problem.
Besides that, GH windows are awesome.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks @Clayton_Muhleman, you described it perfectly!
@fsalla I was able to reproduce the behavior and record it on video. I sent it to you by email.
Hi @fsalla
Just following up on this one. It’s a fairly pernicious bug and it’s necessary to restart R8 a good dozen times a day to fix the model.
Any luck finding a lead?
Thanks,

We still haven’t found out the reason for this problem, unfortunately. We keep on investigating it. I’ll keep you posted.
