Show columns on all views?

Gus — Fri, 26 May 2023 10:48:01 GMT

For some reason I can't get columns to show up on upper stories (I usually do my site plan and landscape plans as the top stories).

They are set to "All Relevant Stories" because the only other option is "Home Story Only." I don't know how ArchiCAD determines what is a "Relevant Story" or not. Is there a reason that there is no option for "All Stories?"

A 'Relevant Storey' means the height of the column passes into that storey and so you should see that column in that storey view.

That would mean you would see them literally on all storeys - even when they shouldn't be there.

Why don't you do your site plan on the ground storey?
That way you are displaying the elements where they really exist.
Set up a layer combination that turns on/off the relevant layers.

Thanks.
Good point about the Site Plan on the main level.
I'll give that a shot.
