Elevation level Display

Anonymous — Tue, 30 May 2023 08:02:54 GMT

Hi,

I have been manually adding floor and ceiling levels to my elevations for quite some time. I know Archicad can do this automatically using the story display option in the elevation section settings, but I find the boundary offset option difficult to use (maybe I need a tutorial on setting this up properly). I was wondering whether it was possible to manually move the level markers left or right in the elevation?

Hopefully I'm making sense. Any help on this would be most appreciated.

P.S. Using archicad 18.

Cheers,

Tommy

The Level Marker's location in the Section or Elevation is defined by the length of the Section Line in the Floor Plan and all Level Markers will be at the same location horizontally. They cannot be dragged individually.

I suppose this may be possible to do but the Story Level Marker object would have to be modified and editable hotspots would have to be added to its script. Then it might working (but I have not tried to tell the truth).

The offset for your Storey Level marker is set as per the attached image. Note in mine I only have a Storey marker on the left side.

As far as I know this isn't possible as the Story Level Marker is not a "selectable" element so there is no way of actually editing the hotspots.

Because you can't select the marker the hotspots never appear and hence can't be edited.

I had to resort to the settings dialog for our custom marker
