  • Section Markers Won't Reference In

  • Thematic maps disregard clip planes when they render in the sheet file

    Is it the case that because of the way thematic maps render they disregard what clip planes have been set in the attached models and drawings ? I created the space planning layouts for all levels of the building in one 3D model using the floor manager…

  • Re: Drawing View Model Moving

    Eric, we are looking into this... I'm not sure whether this still exists in the forthcoming update, or if it's specific to the current version. Or if there's some setting that controls this. More testing is required on that end. For everyone's…
  • Re: V8i Sheet Composition

    <<Using the Building View Manager, after creating the cut, there was no visual cues as to what to do next.>> It's a little over simplistic, but, you can sort of follow a left-to-right workflow; i.e., pick your view orientation, then choose one…

  • Re: DV and DEM hybrid projects for V8i SS1

  • Re: Drawing revisions?

    Yes, of course the more elements you store in a single file, the bigger that file becomes. But as Lauren stated their files are very big to begin with - I can vouch for that! - so even incremental changes could include a large number of elements. And…
