Building View loses Saved View

I see the following  occasionally.

Which means the Building View is unusable with a lot of geometry missing.

The Saved View excists and it works fine in another Model in same file.

Is there a way to mend the Building View. Kind of reattach the Saved View?

  • Hi Thomas,

    While it's obvious that the orientation is not found, it's unclear which model you have open and what that reference attachment is.  Is the missing orientation a Saved View created during the drawing composition process?  If so, is this the drawing that was created or are you reusing that Saved View elsewhere? 

    What happens if you turn the display of that reference attachment off, then drag the saved view/orientation into the active model from the Saved View dialog? 



  • Hi Steve

    As switching between files is slow compared to switching between Models I have tested in this  project to have everything in same file,  with possibly  100 Models. 3D-Models with only geometry, Drawings, in Bentley speak, with Dynamic Views + annotation, Sheets and some help files.

    It is 32 MB, but my guess is that this is much more than needed for the 3D geometry. It is created a year ago.

    The Saved View was created by the Drawing Composition process. That Saved View is not used anywhere else. I see now that most, but not all, Dynamic Views are missing the Saved View. Some Models with DVs are very slow to open, several minutes. And printing to pdf can take 20 minutes.

    If I drag from the SV-dialog nothing happens. But I can use View Attributes and Saved Views and see the correct Saved View.

    I do not use CVE. No 3D-geometry seems missing or corrupt.

    I also see that much 3d- geometry are on levels they are not created on. I see levelnames in the yellow baloon totally alien to my system when hovering the elements, But those names don't appear in Level Display.

    So something happened to this file a few weeks ago and I consider some parts of it corrupt, Other things seems to work fine.

    The challenge is what way to proceed. The project is beeing build so it not very much work needed, short of as-built drawings. Should I mend this file or create a new and import/copy/reference.

  • Hi Thomas,

    It sounds as though you do have some strange behavior happening!  By any chance does this coincide with the "missing levels" from your other thread or the PDF plot Case you have open with Marcin? 

    The first thing I would try, if you haven't already done so and after backing up the current version, is to compress the file with all options enabled - give it a good cleaning. Exit OBD and then reopen the file. That should generate all the required DV levels based on your currently loaded Family/Parts.  And speaking of which, are the available Family/Parts as expected?  They control the levels generated by all drawings so any changes there could affect things. As could level libraries if any changes have been made. 

    Aside from that, you could create a new file, import the 3D geometry, then import one of the Saved Views. In this new file create an empty  2D drawing model and drag that Saved View into it.   What happens?
