v81 series 2

What you describe with the level showing twice in Level Manager list box suggests that the elements are cells.

Try going to View Attributes and try to change the clip volume & clip front/back. You can also try to toggle the Displaysets attribute. Possibly tags attribute as well.

Otherwise, right click on one of the used levels in Level Manager go to properties and the the Usage tab. You should see a list of elements for that level. It's possible you have a file with multiple models. The active model may have nothing in it and the elements are contained in another model.

If I did it correctly, the file has been uploaded.

dont see it,,,,

Sorry, See attached file

There seems to be a lot of bad errors in your file. Try starting with a clean file and reference this file to it. If you can see the elements try to merge the reference file into the clean file. This can help alleviate the problems. A lot of elements are text nodes & cells in this file. I can get them to display by using power selector and changing everything to the default level but, with all of the errors it's best to abandon the file.

Hi Ronnie,

I took a look at your file. It seems like almost everything inadvertently got scaled up a huge amount. If you select everything ( Edit>Select All ) and check the element information ( Element>Information ), then pick a cell from the list and you'll see the scale is astronomical. The only exceptions are the *_Title_Block and ANSI_D cells, which are scale:100. In fact if you turn off all levels except ed_cabinet and then fit the view you will see the plansheet. Now you can turn on all levels and a few more elements will appear. To get back all of the other elements try scaling them by the reciprocal of the current scale of a cell that was originally placed at a scale of 1.

Here's what I did:

1. Display only level ed_cabinet and fit the view.
2. Turn on all levels
3. Select everything: Edit>Select All
4. Deselect only the elements that are visible in the view
5. Scale the selected elements by .00000000000231749 (This is the reciprocal of 4.31501e+11, which is the current scale of most of the cells in the file, so I assumed they may have been originally been placed at a scale of 1.)
6. All of the elements in the file should now be visible and hopefully the correct size. :-)

The elements may not be the correct size since I made an assumption about what value to scale by. Since you are familiar with the files, you should be able to make a more educated guess as to which current cell scale value to use the reciprocal of, for the scaling factor.

HTH,
