    R RUSTON
    In OBD Updated 7, double angle members do not resymbolize to a single line graphic. This issue is occurring with both Horizontal Bracing and Vertical Bracing. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    I am running into an issue with the Elevation Annotation Settings in the Floor Manager defaulting back to the original settings after I apply changes. Is there a variable that locks these settings? I am using OpenBuildings v10.12.0.41.
