Level Dimension Tool Renovation Filter Glitch

Anonymous
Not applicable
Has anybody else had this problem with new AC17?

I cannot add level dimensions to any slab, mesh, roof etc. if the element in question is not in the existing Renovations filter layer.

I always use the 'gravity' tool to drop spot levels wherever needed for the contractors, but this is the first time I have got to this stage with AC17, it is not allowing me to add them onto anything that is not classed as existing!!!

I have saved the drawing back into AC16 just to try and the levels work fine, but I have lost a number of items because they were created in AC17 or using AC17 library parts.

Cheers

I don't actually use the reno filters but I can confirm what you see.
You need to set the reno filter for your level dimension to be the same as that for the slab you are gravitating to.
Of course you can't set that in the level dimension tool but you have to use the Renovation palette.
