sad 2D symbols not working
Title says it all. For a long time I have problems with placing 2D symbols. They are blank ...

Info:
- Version: bought via Microsoft Store
- I'm using Sweet home 3D on 2 machines (laptop and dekstop). Both have windows 11 H2. (for some reason the laptop one has a newer interface for Sweet Home 3D)
- I'm using 2D symbols from https://sourceforge.net/p/sweethome3d/d-models/325/#fdf9 that I found on this forum

Workaround:
Copy and paste from old files

Re: 2D symbols not working
2D symbols are basically the same as any other furniture. A 2D symbol from a 2D symbol library is an invisible box with a second icon added for display in the 2D view, a "planIcon". This icon can be different from the default icon.

In itself there is no reason why a 2D symbol should not display while other furniture does. The most likely reason is that they are hidden by other objects. Since they are the same as other furniture you can set an elevation. Increase the elevation and see if they show.

Re: 2D symbols not working
They are at 50cm above ground, this is standard. Increasing or decreasing the height does not work.

Looking at the parameters from both (regular vs copied from other project), they are all the same.

Extra info: I did remove Sweet home 3D and reinstalled it and adding the symbols again but to no avail.

Re: 2D symbols not working
Did you import the 2DSymbols library again? It only works using a library because individually imported models don't have the planIcon property.

Do you have the same problem with other 2Dsymbol libraries?
