SusanC Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I have been having problems with Material Regions in plans brought forward from X7 to X8. When drawing bathroom tile, for example. I draw a CAD box, use the "Convert Polyline" tool to change it into a material region and it disappears from my elevation. If I take an overview of the plan I can always find the missing material region outside of the house. What is causing this? This does not happen if I draw a regular old polyline solid on the wall. The polyline solid stays where it was drawn, however I don't have the control over the tile as I do in Material Regions so I prefer not to use polyline solids.

Chopsaw Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 This seems to be functioning fine in X8 for me. So I would suggest trying to use the wall material region tool or reporting to tech support as a bug if the proper tool also does not work. Just curious, why the cad box?

Yes, you can draw it on the wall when in perspective floor overview, just make sure you are looking at the wall in a direct enough manner otherwise it will draw in weird places.

DRAWZILLA Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I always use the section elevation views or a wall elevation view if you don't want to see the whole building, but never any perspective view b/c you are looking at an angle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmejerry Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 You can draw material region in elevation or cross section view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmejerry Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 That's my way of thinking Perry. Always elevation or section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
