Favorites - Bringing walls, objects ect into a drawing

ELEVATE
Booster

When trying to use my favorites bringing them into a level a dialogue box pops up indicating (see dialogue box below).

It used to work no matter what level I am on.  now it only works according to whatever the favorite level is set to.  I am using "transfer all settings" and tried checking and unchecking the "home story" and  "home offset" but still get dialogue box when on another level then the first level.   (see other pics below)

THANKYOU!

Turning the 'Home Storey' off in the transfer settings is all you need to do.

But note this will no longer change the storey when you choose the favourite (exactly what you want).

So check your object settings to make sure it is showing the correct home storey is chosen - it may still be set to the wrong storey from previous placements of the object.

You can either change the home storey setting manually, or just changing stories should also change it.

 

Example.

Your 'Home Storey' in the transfer settings is on.

Your object favourite is set to place object on ground floor.

You place object on ground floor - all is fine.

You go to the upper floor.

 

If you now place an object it will be fine, because changing the storey has changed the home storey default in the object settings.

But if you now use the favourite, it will reset the home storey to ground floor and you will get that message.

 

Now turn the 'Home Storey' off in the transfer settings.

Activate the favourite - it will no longer change the homes storey in the object settings.

But you must make sure the object settings for home storey is correct the first time you use that favourite - because it no longer is set by the favourite.

Hope that makes sense.
