Custom visual made with Charticulator not respecting scale

Hi, I tried to create a custom visual via Charticulator. It's a clustered and stacked column chart. Do someone know why my visual is not respecting the scale please? Here only deep blue rectangles...

    Hi Anonymous,

    At a glance, this sometimes happens when an object isn't snapped to a visual guide, however in order to investigate the issue, we'll need the raw file from Charticulator rather than the compiled Power BI custom visual. I did check the link in your OP but could only find the workbook and .pbiviz file.

    If you're able to provide the .chart file, I can take a look. If you're not sure how to do this, please review the Download as Chart section of their doc.

    Thanks,

    Daniel

Hi Anonymous & Anonymous

I had a go at this, using an example on another thread. The generated viz does seem to scale as I'd expect when I resize in Power BI Desktop...

...so I'm hoping that Anonymous's version may be a placement issue w/guides as originally assumed. Still happy to take a look at this if you want to attach the .chart file as previously mentioned.

I've attached a copy of my workbook, generated custom visual, and the .chart file for you to load into Charticulator as a starting point, if you wish to have a go at working it to your particular situation. You'll find these just underneath this post's content below.

All the best,

Daniel

EDIT: Looks like .chart files are not allowed and broke my post. I've attached all 3 files in a .zip instead.

Hi dm-p 

Many thanks for taking time to look into this and your support! Your chart works fine in Power BI for me. 

A couple of questions:

-Is it possible to have the chart update in Power BI if the source data is updated with more categories? (e.g. we if we have 5 statuses in the Status-column instead of the current 3.) Or would that have to be adjusted for in Charticulator?

-I would also need to have different fill in the column pairs, is that posssible?
