ArchiCAD 17 Detail Marker Appearance

Anonymous — Wed, 24 Jul 2013 07:11:51 GMT

Hi All,
I have a bit of a weird one. Just playing with my office ArchiCAD 17 template, and I have realised a custom detail marker object we use, doesn't seem to work anymore with ArchiCAD 17.
Has anyone else found issues with the new version with libraries?

Tom

Can you try placing it from scratch and see if it works that way?
Can you show its settings? Any error messages? Which Viewpoint does this happen? Or in Layouts?

This happens in any view. It seems to be the order that the detail is drawn. Ie. If the detail rectangle is drawn from bottom left to top right, it seems to work fine.
No error messages, but there is an error message in the 2D script, however this was also in ArchiCAD 16. 17 must handle it slightly different.

I would much prefer to use the standard built in marker, but it doesn't allow for a multiline drawing number, which we require for our very long drawing numbers (sometimes 15 digits, which is client driven)

Does anyone have the GDL code for the built in marker?

The built-in marker can be opened by using the Open Object by Subtype... command.
