window dimension marker sill height - NOT to wall base

Andy Thomson — Fri, 26 May 2023 13:04:21 GMT

Anyone come across this yet? With fancy window anchor points, and the ability to specify sill heights(aka. anchor points sometimes) relative to both story and/or wall base, we should be able to have the window dimension marker read the sill height as relative to story height. But no.

ie. I have a window 6" from the floor/story, but the wall drops another 12" below the floor/story height. Do you think the window dimension marker shows me the height to the story/floor? NO! NO! Why Not!! IT SHOWS THE DIM TO WALL BASE ONLY!

I am going crazy here, nothing I have tried can get the sill marker to show the sill height relative to the story - ONLY the wall base! If this is a bug, it should be fixed, if not, just please tell me what to do and I will go back to my corner...

Mine shows correct sill height.

What is your window setting showing, to wall base or sill height?
Which marker?

I don't know the question: but to be precise, these are 'empty windows', the 'Anchor' is set to 'Sill to Story 2' (for example) and opening plane is set to 'vertical', the 'Sill or Header Height' in the info box shows correctly, the dimension/value I want to see on the dimension marker, but the dimension marker will only give me to wall base.

BTW, I am using 10 on a mactel...and using 'window marker 10' - but the others are no different...
