I’m duplicating a project by recreating it. (I’m deriving a metric template from an imperial one.) Copying elements over, adjusting text styles, etc. I’ve uploaded the two projects to dropbox. Thanks.
Here’s the imperial one, displaying (and printing) correctly:
Below is the metric one I’m generating from copied elements. Some elements haven’t been adjusted yet and don’t yet match, but I am having trouble with the following: This project has a black mass or background in some viewports (and not in others, though the view modes are identical.) The Aerial Perspective only shows that black background when active, but ithas another problem also: It looks shaded though it is set to an Ambient Occlusion View Mode. These problems print as well.
This black mass is a text object, that after applied the layout scaling it is far too big, so it is occluding the rest of objects. I don’t know which text. You can disable text scaling for this document in the Rhino options dialog:
Thanks. It was dimensions from a set of Opening Elevations copied to a metric project from an imperial one. In such a circumstance, Va-generated objects paste into the new project with annotation scale issues unresponsive to style text size changes, and don’t update. They become inert and have to be regenerated.
I’d say wrt scaling, anno styles were set to scale in both Model and Layout Space in the source project so they have needed to be set that way in the target project. (but anno styles didn’t scale properly in the target project and needed to be manually adjusted.)
In any case, turning off scaling didn’t fix the problem.
I have copied the layout and in one version zoomed around in the problem viewport and when I approximated the original viewpoint, AO was operating again. Now I have two copies of the viewport, with AO operating properly in one and not in the other. The only difference between them is that I zoomed around differently in one than in the other.
I always delete all used files after finished debugging them. Maybe I have them in the trash, or maybe they are still in the DropBox account. Do you know the name of the 3DM file?
I think I found your files in my trash. I’ve uploaded a couple of files to a new folder called “AO Issues” in the your shared DropBox folder. I’ll send you the link by email. Both files are from the same date, and seem to match the screenshots.
