Back referencing on detail markers....

[fhedberg]

I've had a look through the more detailed pdf doc (below) on ArchiCAD 10's new features and I can't find anything regarding back referencing on detail markers or sections.....does anyone know (maybe a beta tester) if this has been implemented in the new version????

could those new parametric drawing titles possibly handle this?

Possibly, I'll try to find some time to look into it (though I'm not supposed to say anything until 10 ships). I suspect that it will take a little more tinkering on GS' part (some new globals) before it will be possible though.

It's OK, Matthew, we got the go-ahead.

It isn't standard practice anywhere I have worked, but came as an urgent request from our most senior staff, who said tracking the occurrence of details to where they occur in the building and source sections etc. would be extremely useful.

The only caveat is that often one detail will point to multiple occurences (in section for example), but if it is typical, and the source detail references all carry the same number+ page reference, that shouldn't matter (which source detail or 'viewpoint+view' the bubble points backwards to)

Its the customary way in Australia and I used it in England but I cant remember if I introduced the concept or it was there already.
Its very useful.
If someone wants to start a Poll I'll vote but sounds like it may be a wasted gesture as it seems our American brethren (& sisters) dont use this system

*with tongue firmly in cheek* This might be a case where the Kiwi's back up the Aussies, just like you did for us with our Rugby World Cup 2011 bid. Oh, hang on, no you didn't. *tongue removed*

Yes, back referencing is essential.
