#bim problems

There are a few instances in archicad where a view or attribute setting can get buried behind custom components or attribute overrides. The pen settings of an opening in a wall with a demo’d window or door may not be obvious.  The pocket door lines are also somewhat hidden when the door is in a composite wall; Shoegnome does a good job of explaining the solution for both. Recently we had an issue with door swings not showing on elevation or 3d views for a custom door panel applied to a Cadimage door. The problem is the door swing spacing (inside to outside panel faces) is set by the noncustom panel thickness. By applying a custom panel you loose access to this setting.

This should be your view settings for exporting .dwg floor plans to engineers and consultants not interested in finish thicknesses:

Some people have been experiencing this:

The solution is to adjust your Model View Options for DWG export to INCLUDE skin separator lines:

Since you are not showing skins (core only), the result is a cleanly healed core with no skin element gaps:

So I am working through the selection settings of a door, specifically the trim options.  Normally I would click on a field, type the numeric input, hit "tab" to go to the next field.

In 18, there is a slight glitch where it goes to the next field and immediately deselects it.  It is super minor, but hoping the hot fix clears this up.
