Window Marker Display

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hopefully I am simply missing something very easy here!

I am trying to place a marker for all of my exterior windows, but some of the windows do not display the marker correctly (the same marker). I have attached a couple of screen shots depicting the issue I am having.

Question: Does a window have to be either cut or set to display symbolically in order for a window marker to display?

This seems to be the result I am getting.

The root of the problem is both windows do not have the same sill height, one is at 2'-8" AFF and the other is 7'-4" AFF. Both windows need to be displayed on the plan but we prefer to display them differently (like we have it now).

Any help would be appreciated.

OUCH! That's what it is. OK, I will share with the rest of the team on Monday and discuss what our options are. Thanks for the description Karl!

Have a good weekend.

You're welcome.... but, I might be wrong, or somebody else might have a better idea for you by Monday. Let's hope...

Reopening this issue, I can't get the view I want and have been playing with it for ages.
I want the wall above and windows to be dashed with the marker showing in plan. In section I want solid lines for all.
I have my plan set up with the wall as symbolic cut, the windows as symbolic. This is the only way I get the look I want in plan.
I have tried all the combinations in the table above and do not get the same results.
Problem is to get the look I have to change the cut lines of the wall and window to dashed, which means they are dashed in section too, which is not what I want.

Unbelievable!! --- this is still an unresolved problem, 5 years later.
This needs fixing.
Why would you not want to display window markers in a construction drawing, regardless of where they sit in the wall.
They should at least be set to always display on their home story, if nothing else.

PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE IN THE NEXT VERSION
