section mark not visible in all level plans

tcoco — Thu, 17 Dec 2020 13:59:10 GMT

I have a 5 story building with a section mark that is only visible in the 2-4th floor plans. All plans have the same view template, the same view range and the section mark crop region encompases all floors.

I need to see the section mark on all level plans?

Hi There,

Did you check the phases for the view?

Is your scale set the same for all plans?

You say they have the same view range. As a test go to level 5 (if that's the highest), enter View Range and set both 'Bottom' and 'Level' to Unlimited and their Offets to 0. Can you see the section mark now?

Try this:
Select your Section line and on its proprieties, increase "Hide at Scales Coarser than" to 5000. Let me know if something changed 🙂

I am using imperial so I changed it to 1"=400' it still shows on levels 2, 3 and 4 but not on level 1 or level 5

All this plans are at 1/8"=1'

I discovered something else when I go to the site plan which is at 1/16"=1' it shows up but the other sections don't show on the site plan the other section was set for hide at scales coarser than 1/8"

Does your view template have Annotation and Filters boxes checked? Have you revealed hidden elements?

You have to use The higher scale possible on "hide coarser than" for every section You have in the Project. Also, remeber to add these section views to The sheet show it on PDF or real printing.

I figured out the problem It is a split section so it was actually in those views but I did not see it because i didnt realize that I needed to pull the ends at every level so it was in the middle of the view and I did not see it
