      I wouldn't have a clue what is wrong with the files, but I would recommend choosing Abort if you're getting an exception error. No telling what caused the error, or what the result will be if you continue...

      As far as DV workflow goes in 8.11.7, here's my completely unofficial take on it: 1) From the "Views & Sheets" Task Interface select one of the standard Building views: Plan, Ceiling, N/S or E/W 2) Define the resulting Clip Volume and Section…

      Yeah.... Mine's OK too. Matt, did you add any customized files to the delivered dataset or project folders? If you look at the Workspace Config dialog, does it look like all the TFDIR and ATFDIR variables are pointing to *only* the delivered locations

      Very true! I've thought of another potential reason why the current behavior is what it is... Since you've creating a new Building View model, the intention is for *that* model to become the focal point, not the main 3D model. If the 3D…
