Door and window markers?

[Anonymous]

I have the plan view door and window markers and their auto schedules working great. Now, is there a way to have the markers and ID's show on my building sections and exterior elevations? I'm using the Window Marker_NCS 17 and the D Marker 17.
Doors are a hexagon with a numeric ID
Windows are a simple square on end with alphabetic ID

I'm using AC18 (not sure why I'm using AC17 markers maybe because they simple)

this is in the section elevation window where I guess the auto marker's job has ben defered to the label tool somehow.

Understood that it'd be problematic to fix this job,
but for future reference see attached:

Choosing the "Window Marker" should correct the rotated marker in elevations/sections.
The "Window Marker" can be used for doors too (just change the polygon shape to a circle).

I agree, it would be a great improvement if we could turn on window/door markers in elevation as it is done in plan (without the label tool).

Karl, I'm using v25. Maybe something has changed, but selecting all the windows, going to the settings I don't see a label box. There is the DIMENSION MARKER, MARKER TEXT STYLE, MARKER SYMBOL AND TEXT. I don't see any where in any one of the those where you can say you want the windows marker to show on elevations or sections. Am I missing something?

Yes, a lot has changed in the last 7 years. Labels are now a separate tool, not part of Door/Window settings.

Use the Label tool to place associative Labens that can display many types of information about your Doors/Windows. You can even place multiple Labels with different content if you need to . Consult the Help files or User Guide for more details.
