Rotated Elevation Drawings

Gerry Leonor
Advisor
drawings are PMK published from one file & brought into another file's Layout Book. this time, i've had to publish ONLY the internal elevation & NOT the plan view.
The plan is rotated 90 deg, but has not been updated/changed. why does the Internal Elevation view rotate 90 degrees? it's marker hasn't changed.

the only fix that i've found so far is having to REDOCUMENT the internal elevation. I have to re-create a new Int Elev marker, & copy/paste the unlinked 2D elements from the old view into the new view & re-dimension/re-tag labels.
i've done this 3 times in the past 2 days

is there a proper fix for this?

i'm afraid that's not going to work -- we're still on AC22 & the office won't be upgrading to 23...

Are you on the latest AC22 update? I think GRAPHISOFT issues updates only for the last 2 versions so updating the latest AC22 update is your best bet.

Use the "Help > Check for Updates" menu command in Archicad. It will take you to the relevant web page that will show you if there is an available update.

with a different company now...
unfortunately this still happens. we're using AC22 build 7000, & placing a group of internal elevation views resulted in all of them rotated. fortunately it was early in the stage of the work & no documentation info was lost within the views. i deleted the marker & redrew a new set of views, saved them in the View Map, placed them in the layout & it still resulted in rotated views. tried it numerous other times by eye-dropping IE marker properties from an existing & working one, still no joy.

i tried to do a New & Reset All, re-opened the file & it seemed to have worked when created a new marker, saved the views, & placed them in the layout.

not sure why i had to do the New & Reset All to get it to work. i always thought the simple fix to it was to create a new marker.

frustrating that still happens & have lost hours of work in the past.

Maybe try opening the file from the FILE menu > OPEN option.
Then tick the 'Open & Repair' option to see if that makes any difference.
Not sure if it will but it shouldn't hurt either.
