Section\Elevation marker not scaling with floorplan scale

Anonymous — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 18:25:18 GMT

Hi, is there a way to set the size of the section\elevation marker to scale automatically when I change scale of the floorplans?
For example, if I draw a section at 1:100 the marker looks ok, but when I make another view at 1:500 the marker is way too big.

Hi there,

In ArchiCAD and Revit, and even in Autocad these days, Annotation elements (texts, Symbols, Marker heads) will keep their size in order to be readable all the time regardless of the scale. This is the expected by default behavior.

However there are times when you would like to show a "scaled down" drawing - that is: scaling everything down regardless of the Real Scale of the model elements. In that case, you will need to scale not the View, but the Drawing on the Layout. Keep in mind that the scale will not be the one set in the view.

Hope this helps

Regards

Nando

Thank you, but I already knew about that.. however scaling into the layout doesn't change the view settings for that view. Anyways, thank you.
