Section Markers on Elevations and 3D

In some places it is common practice to show section markers on elevations. Currently AFAIK this can only be done manually. Not a very difficult task to place one or two of these suckers, but in a large project with multiple elevations and sections it may take a couple hours. More importantly: if sections change (location,  direction, gets deleted, new ones get added), checking elevations for these manual markers gets overlooked and the final product may easily have errors.

It seems that Archicad has the technology to do this, because section markers appear in the BIMx model, grids can be displayed and filtered in sections, elevations etc.

 

It would be cool to take this concept further to the 3D window and be able to jump to sections, elevations from the 3D window.

 

Thanks for listening!

Agreed. When I place a section marker in a plan it should have the option to appear in corresponding elevations and sections. This is an industry standard practice and it goes a long way toward plan legibility.
