Object facing elevation camera

[JGoode]

Hi,
I have a 2D symbol that I need to be able to show in elevation. The issue is I always need it to face towards the camera. Is this possible for elevation? I have an object which does it with normal 3D views but not with elevations.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm, maybe you could re-think this object as a label? Have some very minimal 3D presence (small box, crosshair), so it shows up in Section elevation and with a quick find & select you can select them and label them. Would work in floor plan too.

This wouldn't really work with what we are trying achieve unfortunately.

But does it need to be shown in the 3D window as well?

It only needs to show in elevation/section and obviously in plan. The same thing needs to happen as if you were to place the 2D symbol on the elevation/section but it needs to display the ID that is put into the 2D symbol. Due to the fact they need to be scheduled, it's not much of an option to place each instance twice, both for elevation and plan.

So I'm stuck with the same issue... Only I want some 3d CUTOUT PLANTS (made with lines, not a picture) to rotate automatically to the ELEVATION... Obviously this means they'll need to rotate differently for each elevation..

I have successfully scripted them to rotate to camera in 3d views (great for SKETCH RENDERINGS and 3d documents) but as noted below there is NO GLOB VARIABLE for the rotation of the section or elevation as placed in the plan..

Can anyone verify this?

Note: it also does NOT work when the 3d window is set to PARALLEL PROJECTION... ugh...
