Elevation Markers disappear when line is jogged

I apologize if this is common sense, I'm new to Archicad and still learning! I've been trying to get interior elevations of a room, and when I create the elevation, everything looks dandy. But, as you can see by the shared image below, as soon as I jog those elevation lines to get an accurate wall elevation that includes the door in the distance, the elevation arrows disappear. I tried not jogging at all and using "infinite" for horizontal and that didn't work either - it wasn't truly infinite. So, how do I get to see the wall in the foreground, the door in the distance, and all as one clean elevation?

Thanks in advance!!

I am not going to be of much help here with a solution to your problem as I don't use interior elevation tool.

I just use the section tool (or you could use the elevation tool).

Or you can use individual interior elevations.

But what I can tell you is that by 'jogging' the room perimeter, you have inadvertently created extra elevations.

As the markers will be pointing in the same direction, they can not be shown as a single common marker.

Turn on the individual marker and you will see what I mean.

As I said, I don't use interior elevations, so I am unsure what is best for you to do.

I know you can hide the elevations you don't want (03 & 04 in my example), but I don't think this will help.

I am unsure how you can extend 05 across to show the door.

I think you can just do a rectangular room with 4 elevations and then tell the one looking at the door to be infinite so it sees the door?

Your screenshot shows the elevations are split instead of 'jogged'. It was originally 4-sided but now it's 6 elevations and that's why you don't see the 4-sided arrows anymore.

To jog the elevation cut line, you use the pet palette.

That's said, I wouldn't bother jogging the cut line in this case. I'd just set the horizontal range to infinite which should work to show the door. I'm not sure why that's not working for you.
