Elevation heat map colour issue

Anonymous — Fri, 12 Feb 2021 18:47:50 GMT

Hi, I'm working with ReCap to show deflection in balconies along the side of a building via a heat map. The issue I'm having is that there is discrepancies between the range legend and what is actually displayed on the heat map. I made some annotation notes that show the elevations at various points to show how it's not accurate.

Anyone have any advice on how to correct this issue?

Could you share some more details and put some screenshot here? Thank you!

Weird, I had attempted to attach screenshots when I made the post, I guess I made an error when doing so, whoops!

But anyways I believe now the screenshots should be showing, and basically the problem I'm having is that the colours being displayed don't match what the legend says they should be (for example on the Top of 24th Floor Balcony the elevation near the middle is -0.060m, but is displaying as green instead of red as the legends shows it should be.)

Thank you for the information. Has origin been updated for this project?

There is a known issue that the color ramp is not updated corrected when the update origin tool is used.

We will log an issue for this one.

Thanks,

Yan

Yes the origin was updated to create a 0.00m elevation point at a known point (floor of stairwell). I have an older version from before the origin reset and it seems to have the colours done correctly, so I believe it is indeed an issue with the reset. Is there a quick fix for this issue at the moment, or is it something that would come in a future patch?
