MikeRum Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Hi All, I'm new to HD and still learning so forgive my ignorance. I am trying to produce an orthographic representation of a proposal for the addition of an outdoor AC Compressor which is to be placed in front of a street-facing wall. I need to produce it in orthographic format - i.e. without perspective. I have read through the docs and have discovered Section Views, which I can use to produce these 'flat' views, but when I follow the instructions, the outdoor unit, which is physically in front of the wall is not in the view. It's just the wall and roof. The Compressor is included in the perspective elevation, but not in the orthographic one. I read somewhere that there is a depth parameter which might solve the problem, but I can't find that - is it in another version? Can anyone advise how I might get a view with all the objects in fron of the wall? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Most new users do not at once understand that the software has 11 or 12 DIFFERENT "Display Options" dialogs and each of those controls what can and cannot be visible in plan view and for each camera type. If an object is visible in plan view but not a camera view, while in that camera view, open its "Display Options" dialog and check "ON" the object layer that is currently "OFF" in that "Display Options" dialog. That is probably what is happening. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for your help. Cheers Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
