Layout detail viewports disappeared

Rhino
, ,
1

Hello

Ran into a very strange issue recently with a set of layouts from a model.

Suddenly, on all our layouts for this file the detail viewports have disappeared. At first it was only on one machine, then every machine. I have searched extensively trying to find a solution but to no avail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated to avoid remaking all layouts across the many sheets.

thank you

Hi David -
Please post both a 3dm file that should have details and the output from the Rhino SystemInfo command.

Hi Wim,
I have attached the system info .txt file here, though the model is above the 20mb limit for upload. I can send a wetransfer or similar if that is ok.

Hi Wim,

an update - I just tried opening this file in an older version of Rhino 8, without any recent updates this seems to have solved the problem and the viewports on the layouts have returned. Even on the machines with the latest version of Rhino 8.

It seems to have been a bug on this file which developed after a recent update.

Best

Hi @DAVID_MAGENNIS,

None of your layouts have any details.

I wrote a simple script to print out the name of each layout and the number of details on it:

Layout: 060 C 12.?? PLAN - Copy, Detail count: 0
Layout: 060 C 12.92 RCP, Detail count: 0
Layout: 060 C 12.10 KITCHEN 01A, Detail count: 0
Layout: 060 C 12.10 KITCHEN 01B, Detail count: 0
Layout: 060 C 12.12 TV CABINET, Detail count: 0
Layout: 060 C 12.14 WARDROBE, Detail count: 0
Layout: 060 C 12.13 LIVING/BEDROOM A, Detail count: 0
Layout: 060 C 12.11 KITCHEN MAIN A, Detail count: 0
Layout: 060 C 12.11 KITCHEN MAIN B, Detail count: 0
Layout: 060 C 12.50 FOLDING DOOR, Detail count: 0
Layout: 060 C 12.52 WINDOW SCREEN, Detail count: 0
Layout: 060 C 12.51 DOORS, Detail count: 0
Layout: 060 C 12.53 MAIN DOOR, Detail count: 0

Here is the script, fwiw:

#! python 3
import Rhino
import scriptcontext as sc

def PrintDetailCount():
    page_views = sc.doc.Views.GetPageViews()
    for page in page_views:
        detail_views = page.GetDetailViews()
        print("Layout: {}, Detail count: {}".format(page.PageName, len(detail_views)))
            
PrintDetailCount()

Hi David,
This is a bug. Until it is fixed, please disable your SectionTools plugins that comes with Rhino 8.

  1. Options → Plugins → SectionTool uncheck. 2.

  2. Close and reopen Rhino.
  3. Now open your file.

Your details will be there and your file will look as you expect.
We have logged: RH-90968/File-Opens-With-No-Details

I understand the severity of this issue.
Do you have other drawings that have similar damage?
Do you know how they got in this state, like a procedure that we can try on other models?

Sincerely,
Mary Ann Fugier

Hi Mary,

Many thanks for this - I have followed the steps and as you say it the information has returned.

Luckily, I have no other files with the same issue.

The issue seems to of been linked to a recent update, the file in question being created before the update and the issue appearing after said update.

Thank you for your assistance.

with appreciation,

David
