Guideline is not shown as in training video

Hi,

I am not sure am I in the right forum. Anyway, I just try first to post my question.

I know the manual way to create a guideline but in Your training video below, the guideline is shown automatically. I wonder have i missed any detail in setting or something else. the Orange icon never really shown. I use ArchiCAD 21 Professional Version.

Thanks in advance

You have not missed anything but that video was created in an older version and the guides lines were different then.

We now have blue 'Snap Guides' which are automatic temporary guides to assist in modelling.
There are the semi-permanent orange guides that you can manually place.

Look up 'Snap Guides' in the reference guide.
I am sure there will be videos on the Graphisoft YouTube channel as well (sorry no time to find a link right now).
