Linking elevations & sections to the drawings

Anonymous — Fri, 19 May 2023 14:01:43 GMT

I have noticed that all of my Archicad 12 Section, Elevation & Interior Elevation markers have only the 'Custom' text option and not the 'Plotmaker' option which automatically numbered the plan marker when you placed the elevation/section on a drawing. The only one that works is the Section Marker-NCS and I think that is from A9

Nick:

The option you are looking for is "Referred Drawing", which is an option for the markers that come with ArchiCAD. This option may not be available until a view is placed on a layout.

David,
Well, I created the interior elevations, saved them as drawings files and mounted them to the elevation sheet. When I go back top the floor plan and select the elevation I still only have the "custom" option, no "Referred Drawing" in either the Marker or Marker Head windows. No page number is showing up on the floor plan referencing the elevation drawing where they are placed.

Sounds like you haven't set the reference in the Interior Elevation Settings - image below - set to "First placed drawing"

I am having similar issues with not being able to get the multiple elevation marker to read properly. In a marker that I am trying to indicate 4 views of a rectangular room, it will auto-number 2 of them, but not put the sheet number in. I've been struggling with this item for many hours, and am ready to give up. Does this tool work properly for auto-numbering, using a common marker for a group?

Anyone had any luck with using the single marker for multiple interior elevations? I've been playing with it and just can't make it show the individual elevation IDs with single marker, I can only get it to work with a marker for each elevation. Very annoying. Am I using this thing incorrectly, or is the marker broken?

Thanks Stuart, you were right and now I have been happily placing elevations ever since!
