Evoking Distance guide

[Niranjan Das Sharma]

Is there a way I can evoke distance guides? It sometimes pops up, sometimes it does not! 

Operating system used: Mac Apple Silicon Sequoia

Hi,

Make sure that:
1. They are turned on - Options - Work environment - More options - Experimental features - Enable Distance Guides.
2. They are toggled on, you can add the toggle on the toolbar: https://help.graphisoft.com/AC/27/INT/_AC27_Help/030_Interaction/030_Interaction-65.htm

I am using Archicad 28. it has the feature inbuilt and should be working properly. I have  distance guide is enabled but very un predictable. 

Thanks

If they are active, it depends on how far you zoom in or out.

The elements the guides snap to have to be visible on the screen.

If you still have trouble, show an image of your distance guide settings, or even better a short video of the problem.

Check these screenshots. Same zoom. I don't see a distance guide when I grab the WC or a particular wall but another wall is showing up the guide. 

   Also attaching the screenshot of settings

 

 Thanks Niranjan

I would suspect that that wall is not exactly vertical.

If the walls are at a slight angle, the distance guides will not lock to them.

Its 90 !  dont know whats wrong!

[Niranjan Das Sharma]

Also the other objects. They too dont show the guide when moved.

That wall may be vertical but then the others are not.

They all need to be perfectly square to each other.

 All are perpendicular. Windows and doors also not showing up the guides! Something wrong with the file it seems. I made a new file with default template and current profile and its showing up. I copied the elements and pasted it in the new file and it has problem!
