Interior Elevation referencing will not work!

Anonymous — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 00:33:21 GMT

I'm confused. I am using the "IE Marker 1" and when I created the views and set up the <ZoneNumber> for its ID it correctly referenced to room number as I intended.

But then when I close out of archicad and open it up it is back to as it appears in the attached screenshots.

To fix it I have to move the zone title or delete and reinsert the <ZoneNumber> option under ID as seen in the second screenshot!

Please Help! I can't understand why it won't correctly reference.

Is the zone layer off?

It has to be on for the library parts to report the zone/room no.

thank you for responding. Yes the zone layer is on. it is actually showing too, as the room tags are the zone names and showing in the attached screenshots before.

Very confusing, because if I select the limit lines and move them it will update to the zone number as it should. But then if I close out of archicad and come back it is once again not reading correctly. see attachment.

is there some sort of autoupdate for interior elevation markers that I have checked off or something?

It could be a problem with the marker itself. I use my own custom markers and haven't had this problem (yet).

How does it look on the layout?

Unfortunately this is not the case. I switched to Interior Elevation Marker 1 15 and have the exact same problem.

I tried saving it as a solo project. same problem. not that i think tw botched it up, but it's getting to where I don't know what else to try to fix this.

I am wondering if I should try a v14 marker to see if its some problem that is related to v15 markerS? think that's worth a shot?

any other ideas would really be helpful. you guys know this program a lot better than i do.

v14 copy didn't work either I'm starting to think i'll have to do it manually after wasting an entire afternoon trying to fix this.

silver lining at least i'll have another notch on my belt in the way of legitimate things to complain about with archicad

Do you have two or more zones overlapping each other (maybe even in layers that are turned off)?
Maybe the marker can't register what zone it belongs to because of the other zones until you edit that zone that is currently on screen.

that's an interesting idea., but no. no hidden zones. and i'll just mention again: it works if i open the interior elevation selection settings and uncheck and recheck the box i have pointed to in the attachment it updates the reference as it is SUPPOSED TO! until i close out of the program and open it back up again to find it not referencing.

I had the exact same problem when I brought a 14 project to 15. I use a custom marker that is based off of the 14 markers. Funny thing is that only some of the markers would do it. Moving the elevation cut line would get the markers to re-link to the zone. However only temporary, after sending changes and closing the project then reopening the project there would be a whole bunch of other markers that had gone haywire.

My workaround was to manually name the markers, which was no fun with nearly 100 interior elevations.

I posted about this nearly a month ago: http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?p=192079&highlight=#192079

i finally bit the bullet and manually named all the markers. it wasn't so bad... except i'm trying so hard to use all of the BIM features and be disciplined about using the program the way it is meant to be used. *sigh*

I suppose they'll have this fixed in a hotfix or perhaps it is a problem specifically w/ v14 migrated into v15. time will tell.

I had the same problem with one of my IE tags a minute ago and all I did was move one of my zone border lines and moved it back. Hope that helps.

@ Mark, have you closed the project and reopened it? Does the marker ID stay related to the Zone? Is it a teamwork project?

I just did as you did, moved my zone boundary then moved it back, sent changes and closed the project, then reopened it. I still get '#Zone Name #Zone Number' for the marker ID.
