Deafult placement of reference when tracing?

[Mats_Knutsson]

Maybe i should know this... I have a section through the house. I dragged a copy of the section to the outside and trace the first section and the reference show us on the side... What if I'd like them to appear on the same place... a straight forward overlay... ?

If the default location of what you want to reference doesn't match what you are referencing to (the origins should match), you can adjust the position of the reference to where ever you want it to be.

It will then stay there until you move it again or reset the default location.

Eye no that. The question is why they don't align directly!? I'd prefer not to move it manually to begin with...

[Barry Kelly]

You said you dragged a copy to the side.

I am not clear on what you are trying to reference to what, but if you have dragged a copy of something to the side, the reference probably won't move to match the copy.

You will have to align it yourself.

Sorry about not beeing totally clear. Attach shows my question about the default placement of the trace.

[Barry Kelly]

That is indeed strange.

If you trace & reference section A with itself (section A) they will overlay exactly - you can test with the T&R splitter.

But if you reference another section it will place to the side.

I have no idea why and if you use the reset to default location, it will always end up 1 meter to the side.

So this must be something Archicad just does - but I agree I would expect it to overlay exactly.

If you reference the elevation on the plan it will line up exactly with the plan and place on the section line.

"So this must be something Archicad just does"...haha indeed! I need to comply silently...;)
