Hi

 

Trying to find the setting to turn on the line between the marker heads.

I have turned it off or changed the colour, but cannot find the setting that controls this in the info box.

 

AC info box settings are a complete nightmare for finding settings. The layout is non

Aaah, sorry, I understand now. I don't think you can have this line (for output) in between both marker heads with the built-in elevation marker.

However you can control the "virtual" visibility of this marker line through View > On-Screen View Options.

You can also adjust this color in the Work Environment UI:

Sorry, the thread title mentions elevation. Which elevation marker lines on plan view, could you make a screenshot of this marker head?

Sorry, I ment the elevation marker on plan view, which I want to show the line of the elevation across the plan, similar to the section marker.

There are other elevation markers in other localization libraries which have extandable lines at the marker head, but I haven't seen any on which one could turn on/off the middle segment like in my previous elevation marker post.

Ah Ok, thanks. I had a memory of markers lines being possible for elevation markers on plan view.

 

Thanks for your help!

I don't have Archicad running at the moment, but I think with elevations, there is an option for 2 marker heads and then they act like the sections.

There is the option with two marker heads, but there is no option for a line connecting the marker heads. However a section marker could be used for the same purpose.
