ArminBuilder Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 This may be a stupid question, but I cannot find a way to make cameras disappear from the plan view, regardless of model or starting plan style. With many saved cameras, this becomes an issue. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArminBuilder Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 Thanks for the quick reply, but I have tried that many times in many different models. It removes the view-angle markers, but has never yet removed the icon for me. Maybe there is some other setting? I have looked a lot ... though it wouldn't be the first time I missed something staring me in the face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArminBuilder Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 Yeah, not for me. Honestly, during plan setups I have tried that probably hundreds of times. It has never worked for me as shown in the video, in v2019 or in v2020. It is interesting that the "Used" column shows "S" instead of "+" ... not sure why that is, as this plan has quite a few back-clipped ortho and dollhouse views.

solver Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Are you using the default template profile.plan or one of your own? The video above is using the out of box defaults for the Pro 2020 trial. Yours should work the same unless you've changed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArminBuilder Posted June 1, 2019 Author Share Posted June 1, 2019 Thank you for all your help on this. I have not messed with any of the installation files, out of fear of just this kind of thing. Below is a picture of a plan I just made from the default style. I changed the Display Options as you see them, clicked the OK button to commit the change, then opened Display Options again. Wondering if I need to reinstall the app. If so, should I manually delete the "Documents/Home Designer Pro 2020 Data" directory? I would, of course, delete the app before reinstalling. Not sure if HDPro hides files elsewhere, but can look for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Attach that file and I'll have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArminBuilder Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 Attached file is simple structure, camera is saved (I assume it will be saved in the plan?). Camera display options are turned off, but on my app the camera still shows in plan view. Thanks for taking a look.

solver Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Same problem as you -- cannot get the camera to not display. Try this plan. camera test.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArminBuilder Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 Ha! On your plan, the Display Options > Cameras shows the "+" instead of "S" , and when I turn it off, it doesn't display. You have my attention ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 I think as you said above, a reinstall may fix the problem. If you delete the template directories -- there are 2, one is a backup copy, and then do an install with the repair option, you should get the latest templates. Look in Preferences and you will find a list of directories where things are stored. there should be a button to Show All or similar. One of the first things I did after buying Pro was to modify the default template (profile.plan at the time, probably still the same). It's just a regular plan file so you can open and save it like any other plan, although you may need to change the permissions so it can be overridden. You can change defaults, like window styles, foundation settings etc, and when you start a new plan using that template, all the defaults will be set.

ArminBuilder Posted June 2, 2019 Author Share Posted June 2, 2019 Thank you! I will back up everything before attempting any of this. Modifying the default template is something I may try once the camera issue is fixed, so appreciate your explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrSkier Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I've got a related issue. Deselecting Inactive Cameras in the Display Options dialogue hides the inactive cameras - all except for one of them, which shows up in the grey color even when there is no 3D window open for that camera view. The offending camera has a small "v" on its icon while the others all have large "V"s. Does this indicate something? I have attached a picture showing the issue and the plan file. The camera in question is North Framing - Planned. Thanks for any help on this! Gambrel Plan.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pachecoarch Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 How do you get the camera labels to show up in a Layout File? Can seem to get them to show up. HD Pro 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
