Interior Elevation Tool Problem

Anonymous — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 20:58:07 GMT

I have a Bench that is a Complex Profile and I am trying to get it to show up in an Interior Elevation.

Attached is a Snap Shot of the Plan where the bench is located.

Your plan view doesn't show the extents of the IE views. Is the depth set to include the wall and benches?

In the settings for the interior elevation tool try unticking the 'Hide Cut Elements' box.

To answer your question Matthew: yes the depth is set to include the wall and benches. I made sure to check that many times before posting

After much searching (I used Dom's suggestion) I checked that the Hide Cut Elements was unchecked... It was. I kept looking until I saw that the Exclude View Blocking Walls was checked and remembered that the person who modeled the building inserting the Complex Profile as a Wall! Viola! Problem solved!

Thank you again guys... I wouldn't have figured it out without your help
