2d view - windows schedule

Anonymous

Is there a way to see in 2d symbol view the wall also, as it appears on the floor plan (with all it's composites)? - see the png attached.
Also I keep running into the same problem with any schedules. I can't scroll down to see the last lines of the schedule, same thing to the right. I move around it by dragging the schedule into a layout and i switch in between the two to do the checking. If anyone has any suggestions that can help I'd be very grateful

Thanks

No unfortunately not.

See the attached image.
You also have the scroll bars along the bottom and the side - are they not working?.

Thank you for your suggestion. That solved part of my problem. I can now see the whole width of the schedule (After a bit of searching).
I saw the vertical scroll bar and used it but it still didn't show the last of my entrys. I couldn't see the horizontal scroll bar. I also found out why. I had a tollbar on the bottom of the screen that coverd it. Apparently the schedule window doesn't know how to resize in between the fixed tollbars. I find this to be a big inconvenience. Also the fact that you can't zoom in/out like in any other work window is annoying.

I think the main problem may be that your screen resolution is just too small for ArchiCAD to fit everything vertically. Is it 768 pixels tall? Can you set it to higher?
In your screenshot, there are three buttons in the upper right corner. Click the middle one, the maximize button. Then your Schedule Window will not be maximized and you can resize it and I think you will be able to see the bottom of your schedule.

Hello again,

According to the official graphisoft website, the 2d symbol view can be detailed
Does someone know/discoverd what do I do to have the same detailed view. Now, mine is as seen in the attached .png

Click into the cell and the Annotate text appears in its upper left corner.
Click it and you are taken to an editor window where you can add 2d lines, text, annotation to the given cell.

Is there a way to edit the 2D image itself?
I mean it appears that the 2D image is rendered as "Own Surface Colors (Non-Shaded)" as far as Model Display options goes. Can i change that to something else (ex. "Uniform Pen Colors") ?
Thank you

No need to edit the image.
You just need to set the correct Graphic Override.

This may help to explain.
