Walls not rendering

[Travers Ebling]

I have an issue with some CD Construction Plan & Electrical Plans in Layout. Previously both drawings rendered as desired but now the walls are not rendering. The model is updated in LO. Looking at the individual scenes in SU the walls are visible and the layers are selected as ON in the respective scenes – Heavy, – Hatch A, -Heavy 50, – Hatch A respectively.  If selecting the individual scenes in LO, I can again see walls in the respective scenes – Heavy, – Hatch A, etc. It appears as though the ordering or layering of the composite is now such that the walls are being obscured. I used the stock configurator settings, which I believe is where the ordering is controlled. Doing a new export of the Electrical Plan etc also renders a drawing with walls not visible. How can I return proper visibility to these walls in my prior drawing and correct visibility in newly created drawings? Thank you.

Hello Travers,

If walls are not showing up entirely, that must mean that something is not lining up with your layers and drawing sets. If you’re using the native ConDoc drawing sets (see screen grab below for the drawing set to use for SU 2019), verify that you have the new drawing set for SU 2019. Or if you’re using an older version of SketchUp, you can use the standard ConDoc 4_ARCHITECT set. Try clearing out and re-loading your appropriate drawing set, and re-running Plan Generator.

You can definitively still customize the appearance and styles as you wish, and then update you scene. Can you manually turn on the “ELEMENT_Walls” layer and see if they appear in your drawing view?

Give this a try and let us know.
