Hi everybody,
after placing a door (or a window) in the 3D model, I get an elliptic annotation cell automatic generated for the door in the dynamic plan view.
How can I changed this setting? I saw that another annotation with width and height also exists and would be better, but I can not set it as active (or actually it seem that I can, but it still uses the elliptic one).
I followed the post under http://communities.bentley.com/product/building/building_analysis__design/f/5917/t/40318.aspx, but it regards the older version without dynamic views. I could follow the steps and I could place the right annotation cell in the 3D model, but switching to the dynamic plan view I would still have the elliptic annotation cell (together with the right one placed on the 3D model).
The best solution would be to have the Width-Hight cell (alone) automatic on the plan view without putting it in the 3D model, but if it's not possible, at least to have it from the 3D model without the elliptic one (which is automatic generated...and not possible to delete).
I attached some screenshots...hopefully they help you to understand the problem.
Does anyone have a solution?
Marianna,
Once the the automatic annotations have been generated, it keeps the original
annotation cell until they are deleted and recreated.
One way to have the annotations regenerate is to delete all the door annotations
in the file. Save file and close. Reopen file and the door tags will be regenerated.
Another way is to go to the building view attributes for the saved view.
Under the Building->Architecture tab toggle off the "door" rule. This will
delete all the door tags. Toggle it back on and tags will be regenerated.

Hi Marianna,
The automatic annotations (rules based annotations) get generated as per the annotation cell that is active in the Annotation tool settings dialog for the datagroup catalog items say for door, window, etc.
Also the same annotation cell type can be changed in the edit rule dialog.

Tom,
I tried deleting the annotations, save and reopen but it didn't chance anything :-(
And under the view attribute I can't find anything about doors. Am I in the right place?
I was in the wrong view...Now I found the right one but it still doesn't work.
Hi Pradnya,
I did already change the annotation under main callout to the one I would like, but the problem is that doesn't seem to have any effect on my draw...it still shows the elliptic annotation
