SOLVED!

I want to make the spacing between the section and the section view of the floor plan different.

The section marker spacing in the plan view is 10.
I want the section views to be spaced 20.
What should I do?

Linked markers are good when you have an upper floor that is smaller than the lower floor.

You place the source marker on the lower floor and position the markers to suit the larger plan and set it to show on home storey only.

Then you place another section on the upper floor and 'link' it to the one on the lower floor - also set to show on home storey only.

Now you can move the markers on the upper floor to suit the smaller plan, but is will not adjust the width of the actual section - which comes from the lower floor section markers.

 

Make sure the source section on the lower floor has an unlimited height, or if you limit the height, make sure it includes the upper floor.

 

It will only appear as one section in the Project and View maps.

What section marker spacing are you referring to?

Can you post a screen shot?

I want to display a cross section of one wall in the plan view and two walls in the cross section.

What does the spacing of 10 & 20 refer to?

What does it look like in Archicad and what do you want it to look like?

my english is short
I am sorry that it was difficult to understand, although I expressed that the cross-sectional mark of the plane is different from what is shown in the cross-section. ^^

Yes I am aware language is an issue.

That is why images are important.

What are these settings for the section markers you show selected in your image?

I am suspecting it may not be a 'Source Marker'.

Can you show screen shots of these too please?

This is ready.

If you only want a short mark on the section, lengthen it on the section and the mark will automatically lengthen.
I captured one short plane and an image with long sections. Of course, it was elongated in the plane. But I hope it won't be long.

If I change it to linked, it becomes a shape that has no relation to the plane.

Even if a wall is added, there is no change in the cross section.

ah!
If you make a long section marker, then layer off
Are you creating and putting one linked section marker? ^^

If this method is correct, it will be troublesome to write letters.
