Understanding Archicad 22 3D Floor Plan Visibility: Troubleshooting Tips for Upper Floors in Archicad 22

If you're working with Archicad 22 and find that your 3D floor plan isn't displaying the upstairs layout, you're not alone. This issue can arise from various settings or configurations within the software. Let's dive into some solutions that can help you get your upper floors to show in your 3D views.

Check Your Model View Options

First, ensure that your Model View Options are correctly set. Sometimes, certain elements might be hidden based on these settings. Go to the 'View' menu and select 'Model View Options'. Here, make sure that the appropriate layers for the upper floors are visible. This could be a simple oversight that prevents your upper floors from appearing.

Layer Settings and Visibility

Next, check your layer settings. In Archicad, layers control what is visible in your views. Make sure that the layers containing your upper floor elements are turned on. You can do this by accessing the 'Layers' panel and ensuring that none of the upper-floor layers are locked or hidden.

3D View Settings

Sometimes, the issue lies within specific 3D view settings. Navigate to your 3D view settings and ensure that the 'Story Settings' include the upper floors. Make sure that your 3D view is set to display all stories. If you’ve defined a specific story to view, it may inadvertently exclude others.
