Another hassle trying to get everything set up correctly, or another 2 minutes (max.) to set my template Markers manually, maybe another minute if I have to add another marker/height location. Very much like my experience with the new Story Pole tool. I make a simple text key note schedule and it takes less than 2 minutes if you have to create it from scratch, no time, other than changing text, if it's in your template. That's my general feeling about a lot of Chief's tools. If you like the automated plan note idea for plan views but using it for elevations just seems like too much for you, you can always just do notes for elevations manually.Īnyway, those are just a few ideas. The above things don't seem all that complicated to me personally, but we all think and work differently. This makes layer control an absolute breeze for things like this. I know a lot of guys don't do this, but I personally "Make Copy Of Active Layer Set" for almost each and every view I send to layout. You can also just drop the various note symbols onto unique layers and turn those on and off as necessary. Due to fact number 2 above, all you really have to do is create an extra floor or series of floors, set your schedule to display only objects from the desired floor, drop the note symbol in front of your camera (in plan view) and then drag the label down in elevation view. If the label is moved away from the symbol (like with the place holder room technique) it is only moved in that one camera view. This is one of the useful ways to hide the label in unwanted views.Ģ. If the rotate handle is moved while in plan view so that it is perpendicular with any given camera view it will disappear in that view. Plant labels have 2 very useful characteristics.ġ. Thus the benefit of dropping in plan first. The fact is that the note has to remain between your camera and the closest object. An extra step yes, but if you get in the habit it's really not that big a deal IMO. You'll probably just have to get used to dropping your note symbol in plan view. In the meantime, here are a few notes that might help you out. I'll try to make a video when I have a little more spare time. is there a 2D symbol that can be used like this so I dont have to worry about the label showing up in the wrong plane or in different elevation views? I forgot u could set a schedule to only report from a specific room. Your placecard holding invisible rooms were genius. Alaska, cannu share a video of how u use it in elevation and section. I would definitely use this in my commercial floor plans but I dont think its useable for sections and elevations. So you have to insert in plan, then go to elevation, attempt to find the label, see if you can move it, then check other elevation views to ensure they aren't conflicting or just hide that label in that view. But it's not easy, or even possible, to insert the plant symbols in elevation. It has potential but there are so many glitches. I spent all night till 4am playing with this idea and then all day today using it on a project.
