However, once a Viewpoint exists (e.g. a Detail Viewpoint), you may want to have multiple Markers in various Viewpoints of your Project or various positions in the same Viewpoint all pointing to (referencing) that specific Viewpoint because they are all the same detail, for example. To solve this, a Marker can be placed as a Linked Marker, which DOES NOT create a new Viewpoint. Instead, when placing it you will have to select which existing Viewpoint it should point to (reference).<BR /> So a Linked Marker is just another reference to an already existing Viewpoint, the Source Marker always creates a new Viewpoint.

I think I've figured out that with linked markers - you can't back reference to the page the detail was on, is this true?</DIV> Fri, 07 Feb 2025 10:35:31 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/linked-vs-source-detail-markers/m-p/255065#M39288 Anonymous 2025-02-07T10:35:31Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Documentation/linked-vs-source-detail-markers/m-p/255066#M39289 The Source Marker (this is also true for Section, Elevations, Interior Elevations and Worksheets, not just Details) always creates a Viewpoint in the Project Map when it is placed.
