VisualArq Element Dialogue WRONG Layers

I played arround with templates the last few days and came upon a bug - which should get fixed.

When I want to assign a layer to a visualarq element through the dialogue the layers in the dropdown get mixed up - it seems some of the don’t open / collapse the right way and thus the order gets freaky. As you can see in the screenshot the DOCOpack strangely takes the color (and the properties) of the Walls and then the error begins to run through all the layers.

I have to try to uninstall DOCOpack an see if it works then but, in the end its layers and should not collide with a plugin?

Anyway this way assigning a element to a layer is not possible, even if I use the right name in the dropdown, in reality the properties are wrong.

Best regards,

Hi @Sebastian_Wimmer,

I’ve just installed DOCOpack and couldn’t reproduce the issue.

Which version of VisualARQ are you using? I’m currently on VisualARQ 3.8.3.

Could you send me a 3DM model that demonstrates the problem? Feel free to delete all geometry beforehand.

Thanks,

Enric

thank you enric, for your response - I just went into weekend mode, I will check when I am back.

best regards

Hello @enric , I uninstalled DOCO and the problem still persists.

As you can see in the picture (and in the file) I made a bunch of nested layers and put the on top of the layers list - then I went into the wall settings and there again, the layers are messed up.

Best regards,

SeboWim
