WALL REFERENCE LINE

Takis
Expert
Hi, I have this problem:
While drawing a wall, if first accidentally pass my mouse over "Guide Line" or "Cutting Plane" then "Reference Line Location button" gets disable and doesn't get back to enable, so I cannot flip the wall.
I have to press escape and pick again to draw another wall.

You are not alone on this one. Indeed I never figure out why this was happening, but now that you just say it I went and realize that, that is the problem, when you pass the mouse by Guide lines, this happens. And also is still happening in AC20, just tried.

While this is solved, when drawing walls in chained method, you can click to create the first wall, then hit backspace to go back one click and the option will become available again.

Hi, thanks for the answer. It is good to have choices but since this is happening also in AC20 I think Graphisoft should take care of it.
I believe they just didn't notice that this is a bug.

Yeah, probably no one reported. I hope the Graphisoft people from this forum will see this message and take care of it, is nothing mayor, but is annoying
