Deleted Section Source Marker

[Samuel00]

Hello,

I am completely new to ArchiCad and I started following a tutorial on YouTube during which I accidentally deleted the section markers (I think). Regardless, the section markers have disappeared and I don't know how to restore the interface to default.
How do I get the section markers back in the ground floor view?

Thank you in advance.

Obviously you did delete your section markers (there are no section viewpoint on the right - in project explorer).

Unfortunately deleting sections/elevations is not undoable. You can only place a new ones.

What if I reinstalled ArchiCAD?

Section viewpoint is just an element inside your project - it is not connected to AC installation

You can just create a new project with default template selected. Section markers and viewpoints will appear as defined in a template.

You can draw sections "by hand". Select section button in your left side toolbar (first icon under "Viewpoint" group) and draw your section line however you want. Section viewpoint for the section line will appear on the right side palette.

Thank you for your replies Miha,
The strange thing is that even when I quit ArchiCAD and create a new project with the default template, the section markers are still missing. I understand that I can make my 'own' sections but I just want the interface to look the same as it did when I first downloaded the software.😅 Is there any way to restore the default interface?

Are you sure that when you start a New Project, you select the "Template" option and select the default Archicad Template?

If you select the "Latest Project Settings" option, all settings will be based on the Project you just worked on, which does not have Sections in it.

Thank you for your reply Laszlo.
Yes I select "Template" each time and the section markers are still missing unfortunately 😕

Can you use the Open command and Open the Template file for editing?

When you opened it, can you show us a screenshot of the Project Map of the Navigator Palette?

[Samuel00]

I'm sorry but I'm not sure if I understand your instructions, could you explain step-by-step where to click?
In the previous screenshot I have the template file open and the project map is showing on the right.

OK, I don't know why your Template file doe snot contain any Section Viewpoints.

I guess then you just have to recreate them by placing Section Markers on the Floor Plan, it does not take much time.
