Elevation is empty

Hi.

I have been working on a project. When I try to generate an elevation but Achicad won't show anything.

Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Presuming that you have modeled walls etc and you are placing lines in floor plan (which will not show up), things to check:
• Layers are on
• Elevation marker range includes the model (set to infinite)
• Zoom Extends to see the model
• Renovation Filters are the same

If the marker settings are set to "Linked Marker" instead of "Source Marker" there will be nothing in the section.

Not true.
It will show you what ever it is linked to.

correct - but before it is linked it is empty - not a live section.
