AC 11 Interior Elevation Tool

[Anonymous]

I'm looking at using the Interior Elevation Tool, I have the Marker set up the way I want it, everything else is looking good ... except ... My question is once I have set up the interior elevation, how do I stretch the elevation if for example the client increases the size of the ensuite ?

It seems like an obvious extension of the tool, but ask you can see on the attached picture the pet pallette does have that option.

Am I missing something ? Is the interior tool linked to the zones ?

I get inconsistent results too - and for elevations placed in the very same location with supposedly the same horizontal extent.

The only workaround I have found is to place fake walls to occlude unwanted distant objects. I created a layer combo with a special internal elevation only masking layer for internal elevations that need it

The AC11 elevation tool has a bug that doesn't limit the extent of views to the selected outline perimeter. Using a dummy wall, as you have found, is the only solution until they fix it.

I thought this was fixd with the recent library hotfix

The Library can only affect the marker itself. It doesn't affect how the tool itself works, which is what the wall problem is.

That is a great site, top to bottom, thanks for sharing.

Any other similar sites out there that people could share. I think it is very beneficial to all when these type of sites become more and more known.

Also, I've had reports of not being able to change the layer of an IE Marker once it is placed.

For anyone encountering the same problem: The layer setting cannot be changed (and stick) in the IE Marker dialog, but can be changed via the "Edit Selection Set" dialog.

For me even with only one marker selected, changing layer via Edit selection set changes layer on all markers in IE group. Only other workaround seems to be shifting the unwanted marker out to one side beyond extent of plan view saved to layout.

I found the only thing that works for me is I move the marker I want to delete out of view then I delete it from the project map.
