Updated zones name not updating names in Interior elevations

cocoloco

Hi!

We have our interior elevations to be automatically names after zone names - specifically. 

We had to rename/switch a few zones name. I would assume the interior elevations would automatically rename.

 

What a surpriseeeee (but sadly, not really) - The zones/and short elevations are not automatically being updated in interior elevations name.

 

Yes, I took the effort and went to design > Update zones  but it did nothing. 

Yes, I manually renamed my interior elevations which is exactly what I did not want to do... but the "short elevations" still include name of old room name...

 

Yes, I can again, manually select custom name and rename all manually ... that's not the point. I mean should not this all be automated and synchronized? especially if I specifically select interior elevations to be name after Zone name?  Or is this a glitch ?

There does seem to be a slight bug in the Navigator name for the elevation group name does not change when you change the zone.

But the individual elevations do change.

 

Make sure the elevation group is set to show the autotext that you want.

Now the individual elevation settings should be set to "By IE Group".

If you have it set to 'Custom" then you need to manually change it.

Now when you change the zone name, the elevation names will update automatically, but as I said the group name does not.

It will eventually, if you close the navigator and re-open it or open and close Organiser.

Also I assume closing and re-opening the file will rest the group name as well.

 

The pop up navigator will always show the correct name.

thank you! I did have the elevations setting adjusted to IE group, which I think worked. Howeverrrrr it creates definitely some misorganization because I need the groups to update automatically.... especially if there is 10 bathrooms, I need to go elevation by elevation to triple check each which one it is, check if elevation name works,  and rename...
