Walls disappeared after the conversion



I’m having the same issue! Lots of VA objects like walls disappeared after the conversion. Even when I do not make the conversion, the simple fact that I move a wall, makes it to disappear.

Well, a couple of months ago, I made this model using the VisualARQ 2.X, then time passed (I’m not a pro, just like to study this stuff), having a new computer, I decided to continue this small home made project a try the new version VA 3.x. Then got this message, I chose to regenerate and many VA Walls (so far is what I could find) disappeared!
If I chose not to regenerate, and then I edit those same walls, they also disappear…
Even just by changing the name of any VA object, the other walls simply vanished!
And no luck with the VisualARQ 3.4 - Release Candidate 3

Hi @ripedro your model only contains 8 walls and a roof, and it has been saved with VisualARQ 3.3. Do you have a copy of that model saved in VisualARQ 2, before the walls disappeared?

Hi, @Francesc Scalla, since there was a upload limitation till 20Mb, I made a reduced version o my problem (without "regenerate geometry, selected some objects and exported them), made the tests on those walls and the same thing was happening. Did not mention, but also the regenerate tool also flipped the opening side of some of my doors.
To see whats is happening, you just need to change something on any VA object.

I made a screen capture exemplifying this issue.

Hi @ripedro I’ve moved your comments to a different Topic since this problem is different from the one of the other user.
Can you share the 3dm file of that model? No problem if it is a reduced version of it.

Hi @fsalla, here it goes, let me know if this works for you.

Hi @ripedro everything seems normal when I open this file and update it. I’ve tried it with VisualARQ 3.4 in Rhino 7 and in Rhino 8. The model from your last video seems a different one, where the doors and windows are already missing. Do the walls disappear when you update the same model yo have sent me?

Hi @fsalla after your experiment, it occur that maybe could be because I am using an AMD system instead of Intel, however, I tried on my good 10yo laptop, Win 10 and Intel System, exactly the same happen.
The file origin is exactly the same, a 144Mb file, due the 20Mb limitations, I just deleted geometry randomly. But for the sake of the doubts, the video that I send now is the exactly about the same file that you are working on…
I really cannot understand where is the bug in here! :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I have Rhino 7
