Building disappears in wall view

If the building disappears in well view, it is probably because you selected it before going into wall view and the part of the building in the screen does not have any walls. Try deselecting the building by left clicking elsewhere on the canvas. The normal color of the building should return and the building should be visible once again.


Can't select a new building

If you are left-clicking on a building to select it, but it does not become selected, you may be in floor view in another building. Check the floor slider . If the slider is not set to zero, move it to zero and try selecting the building again. Alternately, if the component window is visible, closing this window will also set the floor to zero so you can select a new building.


Can't move components

Some critical components exist on multiple floors and cannot be moved. Attempts to move these components will give you an error message.


Can't edit ground level

To edit the ground level, you cannot be in floor view. Check the floor slider . If the slider is not set to zero, move it to zero and try editing the ground level again.


Can't see wall(s) in wall view

Sometimes in wall view a building appears to have no walls, or is missing certain walls. If you are sure that the building should have a wall, but you cannot see that wall, it may be that you are zoomed to far out, or that the wall is too thin to see under the current zoom level. Try zooming in more on the area where the wall should be. Eventually you will probably be able to see the wall.


Center button shows nothing

If you press the center button, but cannot see any buildings, you may be zoomed too far in or the buildings may be in a configuration such as a ring or at opposite corners to where the center view will not show you anything. Try zooming out more to get the buildings to appear again in the viewing area. Also, try looking at the navigator panel if the black square there is covering only white space, you will not be able to see anything. Drag the white box to where there are some buildings to get them to show up again.
