Issue Description
In Archicad, sloped MEP pipe elements disappear or fail to display properly in plan view while remaining visible in 3D view and maintaining their selectability through grip points. The pipes may vanish when their end elevation extends beyond certain height.
Solution
This display problem occurs because the default Floor Plan Display setting for pipe elements is configured to Projected mode. The symbolic representation provides a more reliable display method for sloped pipe elements in plan view.
- Select the affected pipe element(s) in Plan view.
- Press Ctrl+T to open the Pipe Route settings dialog.
- Navigate to Pipe Route > Floor Plan and Section > Floor Plan Display.
- Change the Floor Plan Display setting from Projected to Symbolic.
- Click OK to apply the changes
Note: Pipe bend and fitting objects may not include the Floor Plan Display setting and will continue to use their default display methods.
