Elevation marker with arrows to point in 4 directions

Anonymous
Not applicable
We use the section elevation tool for our interior elevations. We use the elevation marker in floor plan so it looks like an interior elevation tag instead of a section marker. Some rooms are very small like toilet rooms and we need 2 arrows instead of just one. Does Archicad have an object we can choose that allows for this. We also want the tag to automatically to put the number in from plotmaker. We would aim the section elevation to the first interior elevation and then put in extra interior elevations that wouldn't show up in plan. THis way the interior elvation on the floor plan would be correct and we would just have one long interior elvation in plotmaker made up of the 2 or 3 or 4 elevations. THe ELEVATION MARKER object looks like it would work but it doesn't in version 9. ANy ideas?

Thanks,
Michele

Thank you all again.
You should not need to open and edit the object itself. It's a setting in the marker's parameter box

Tom,
Thank you again for all your effort and sorry me for all the bothering. Maybe it just doesn´t work well on windows OS...

I'm not sure what the problem could be. I know several people running it successfully on Windows (myself included).

The problem is here, just in front of my screen, typing this post.
