Interior Elevations - Help,Hints & Tips Please!!!!!!

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm looking at the Interior Elevation option for a hospital job, to do Room Data Drawings. Can I not put dimennsion on the drawing once it has been generated, I need to put height sizes for objects on walls, ie light switches, mirrors etc.......

Can anyone please give me some info or the best way to deal with this.

The posts in this thread from 2004 back refer to a version of the Interior Elevation Tool that no longer exists. The current one is much more usable.

Aaron,
Hadn't noticed that. Good catch!

Much more usable but still not perfect.
A wall passing through the limit line of an intereior elevation will still generate a view of everything beyond the limit line - as if the limit line wasn't there at all.

For a room bound by walls on all side it seems to be pretty good.
Just not so good when one or more sides of the room is open such as in a kitchen.

Any chance you've got "Add Bounded Area" selected in the Horizontal Range?

No, definitely set to "By limit lines".

On further investigation it seems to be only because the wall passing through the limit line is on an angle.
See the attached image.
Walls pependicular you can't see because they are at right angles to the view.

Maybe it is something to do with automatic folding out of curved walls that Djordje mentioned earlier in the post.

So it's not a big deal unless you have walls at angles.
