One model does not show up in Whole House
« on: September 21, 2015, 07:20:32 PM »
I have 7 models on my screen, which all work individually and/or all together with an effect dropped onto each model.

However, when I bring over the "whole house" model, there is one of the 7 models which does not participate and yes, the "make part of my display" is ticked.

I have even deleted that particular model and rebuilt it.  Even when I right click that model and click "play model" it plays fine.

Anyone?

Are you using model groups?

There was a "whole house" model which I don't remember making, but maybe I did.  I unticked it and the problem still remained, so I deleted it totally and re-created it.

Is that the idea?  I thought unticking it was supposed to be the fix?

Any models groups with the check box will be exclusively shown. None selected will show all.

Is that why when I add a new model but don't put it in any group I can't see it. That was not obvious. Can I suggest it would make more sense if not in a group then it should show if part of my display is checked.

I don't know why people are selecting the groups in the first place when they have no clue what that does.  If they left those checkboxes alone they would never have any confusion.  The way part of my display as been used is a long story.  We will leave things as is because I think the real improvement is going to be displaying the models differently where you can see the nesting in the tree view and use "eyeball" visibility icons to turn things on and off.

Unchecking part of my display is not how we want people to hide things on the layout.  The purpose was to distinguish between elements you create for sequencing purposes only versus elements you want to see in preview.
