Custom Detail maker

Team, I’ve been trying to create new DETAIL MARKERS, but I haven’t found the right way to do it. Does anyone have a tip on how to create detail markers? I’ve attached a picture of what I’m looking for.

If you are needing a specific look for the marker, you could look at commissioning someone to script you a custom one. Alternatively, you could look around for a 3rd party library which may suit your needs. Someone on this forum who uses a suitable one might stumble into here at some point.

Could you use the Request HomeDB_info to get a usable string that you could measure and scale your bubble from?

Lingwisyer, I thought I had responded to your post earlier, but I don’t see it anymore. I’m not sure who to try and see if your tip works. I couldn’t make the marker, so I’m using the default markers instead. It would be great if I could create a custom marker if possible, but it seems like it’s not easy to do.

 

 

Oh sorry, I had assumed this was under the GDL sub given that it looked like you were trying to create a dynamic width marker, one in which you had utilised Autotext...

 

I am unsure how you might go about making a custom detail marker from the floor plan...

Dear Lingwiayer,

Thank you for the tip and your willingness to help. I appreciate it. I believe this issue requires more than a simple solution. Therefore, I’ve decided to close this ticket as I haven’t been able to find a solution.
