Interior Elevation Auto Scale Problem

toman311 — Wed, 17 May 2023 07:17:36 GMT

Hey all,

I have an Interior Elevation tag created in the office template and it automatically puts all interior elevation views at 3/8"=1'-0".

Is there anyway to get it to be 1/2"-1'-0" automatically when I create the Interior Elevation tag. If I can do this, then I won't have to manually change all of the Interior Elevation views scale to what we always draw in, which is 1/2"=1'-0" and not 3/8"=1'-0".

As far as I can see the Interior Elevation does not have a default Scale setting and so it inherits the scale of the Viewpoint it is created in.
So try to set your Floor Plan Viewpoint to the desired scale and then create all your Interior Elevation Markers. They should all inherit the desired scale.

Thanks for the reply!

To bad about that scale "rule". I wish we could set that scale fixed under it's settings since the Interior Elevations in our office are always drawn at 1/2" = 1'-0".

Still, I get your work around.

I'll just have to alter the scale, briefly, before I create the Interior Elevations. Still, I wish the process was foolproof. I guess that work around is just something everyone will have to remember or learn.
