out of place

Eman

Hi,

When I draw a morph object or something in front elevation view (in green marked with red arrow) it looks in place but in reality it is not.

When I look to it in 2D or in 3D it is always out of place.

Please what settings I need to do to draw in the front elevation view and in place?

This is the way morphs work.
If you draw a morph plan in section/elevation, it will be place on the section/elevation line when viewed in plan.
Then you need to move it to the actual position you want it to be.

This is because when drawing in elevation you can not set the depth (position) as you would height in plan.
Lines and fills don't matter as they are just 2D and will only show in that section/elevation.
Morphs are 3D and will show in other views.
You could place them more accurately if you do it in the 3D window.

Also please don't post 'how to' questions in the 'Archicad+' section.
This is for discussions about Archicad.
Please try to post in a section that is relevant to the question you are asking.
