Window markers misbehaving

Anonymous — Tue, 23 May 2023 01:14:58 GMT

Greetings,
I have been trying without success to get a consistent window marker appearance in elevation. Ideally, each hexagon (see attached jpeg of the model) would have an opaque fill, with a number centered in it, and reading horizontally. That looks OK in model.
When I go to the layout, however, the numbers have rotated against my intention, and my work-around opaque fill rectangle has migrated on top of well, everything (see the next jpeg).
This strikes me as weird, and it certainly is inconvenient.
Does anyone have a solution for this? Or perhaps I should go about labelling the windows in elevation in a different way?
Currently, I have checked the "Label Window" checkbox in the Selecion Settings diaglog box, and then selecting the "Label Window-Marker SE9" label with some modifications.
Thanks in advance,
John

And now, the layout view. Thanks.

I would guess that's a bug. You should try reporting it to your local reseller so they can pass it on to Graphisoft.

Hmm, yes, buggy.
But unique to me? That would be a first!
Maybe I would qualify for a gold foil star sticker.
Is there a better way to get solid, consistent elevation markers for the windows?

Is "Label Marker SE9" from an AC9 Library, and you're working in 10 (as your signature would suggest)? Could this be where the conflict lies?

Yes, exactly. The marker is a holdover from our earlier refinement of the label.
That would be a good source of an incompatibility, but the exact same thing happens when I use the Label Window-Marker 10. Sme thing with the rotated text, same thing with the position-skipping of my digital white-out. Further, the rotation of the text is entirely random: at one refresh, it will look right, at the next, it will be rotated.
