Internal Elevation Marker

Anonymous · ‎2009-11-23

I'm experiencing a strange problem with my internal elevation markers (Std ArchiCAD Object). When I try and stretch the boundary of the view, it moves in the opposite direction to what I try and stretch it...Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

Cheers,

Simon

could you post a before stretch - after stretch screenshot?

Below is a before and after screen shot of the marker. I Have attempted to stretch the right hand side of the view area inwards (to the left) - and then it jumps in the opposite direction.

Which version?
I see you are using many versions.
I tried this with AC13 but worked fine for me.

This is in Version 12. I tried the same file on a different computer and it still didn't work. However the markers seem to work fine on other documents i am using in 12. Very strange.

On a similar note, I've noticed you can't cut and past internal elevation markers in 12. Do you know why or am I doing somethin wrong?
For instance, you can't copy and paste to different stories, or to other files for that matter.

I've worked out that if you mirror the internal elevation marker, it does what i've described about (moving in the opposite direction to what it is supposed to).

We regularly mirror houses and this is a big problem, any ideas on how to resolve this?

Apparently the way Markers work is they store internally the Story they were placed on. So they have a Home Story. There are also options in their settings Dialogs to only display on their Home Story.
It looks like when you try to copy from one Story to another, it always copies it back to the same Story.
I don't know if this is a feature or a bug.

Copy-pasting between Project Files works fine for me, though.

That I could reproduce. It is a bug. I will let GS know about it.

I believe it's a bug as it functions differently to the way it did in 11. In AC 11 you could copy paste up and down storeys and the home storey would change as would the storeys it is seen on/Range.

Thanks!
