Can't change interior elevation Layer... Still!?! Fix this!

Anonymous
Not applicable
Seriously ArchiCad.... on the 19th Version of a $5,000 program and I still have to go googling around to try to figure out how to change the layer on an interior elevation marker that has it's layer permanently grayed out? Yes, I selected 'only the extent line'.... still grayed out.

I have work to do, I don't have all day to try to figure out weird archicad issues that shouldn't even exist. This should be an intuitive no-brainer. Changing the layer of something shouldn't require a secret code or special knowledge.

Thanks Barry, this also solved an issue I was having of not being able to change "Show on Stories" of an Interior Elevation. When you click on the extent line, this option is no longer grayed out. Super weird. I would still consider this a glitch that needs to be fixed by Archicad, but thankful that there is a simple solution.

Thank you for posting! I was having the same problem with Show on Stories being grayed out.

I am having the same issue as the original post in this thread, I cannot change the layer of an interior elevation marker, I'm working on this file Teamwork in v24 right now. The layer drop down is grayed out in my info box, and in the tool settings dialogue.

 

So, has this glitch not been fixed? Is there a work around?

So you are selecting the outer extent line and not the actual section marker or the line that passes through the section marker.

Also with teamwork, don't you have to reserve the marker so you can make changes, and have the correct user permissions to be able to do this (I don't use teamwork so am not 100% sure).
