Elevation Marker Fixed Rotation within Rotated Viewport

LB_OD — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 14:26:45 GMT

I am trying to rotate a view on my sheet (by rotating my "Cropped View" NOT by using "Rotation on Sheet"), the view and dimensions rotate as I had hoped but the Elevation Markers (and outlet markers) remain sideways. I have attached a few screenshots to reference.

image #1 - all is showing as I want, however I would like to plate this on a landscape 11x17 so I would like to rotate the drawing 90 degrees

image #2 - how I go about rotating the drawing

image #3 - the issue with how it gets rotated

I can't replicate your issue. Only when I use the Rotation on Sheet method does this happen for me.

Don't use Rotation on Sheet. Activate the view and rotate the View Crop Region in the reverse direction you want to rotate the view.

Use scope box to rotate and control the views, you can assign same scope box to multiple views and control all those views rotation using that single scope box, elimination rotating crop region individually for views.

I have tried all of these options, I have now been in contact with Autodesk directly and they are troubleshooting as they cannot sort it out either.

I am having the same issue in Revit LT 2023. I didn't rotate on the sheet, I rotated in the view itself. When I rotate it back the elevation marker look right however when I rotate the view, the markers rotate as well. Help!

You need to set the label for the sheet callout in the elevation marker to Center/Middle and Fixed Rotation.

Thank you for replying. I am using Revit LT 2023 and there is no Keep Rotate button!

Is that a callout marker or your elevation marker?

This is my callout marker. They do not have the keep rotation option.

Make sure the family category is set to Elevation Marks.

I read through this, but I'm not understanding the solution. Checking a label's Fixed Rotation instance parameter will keep the label correctly oriented when a viewport is rotated, but does anyone know how to get the line dividing the detail and sheet numbers to orient correctly?

Unfortunately lines in callouts do not operate the same way as the labels. They rotate with the callout. The only one that functions properly is the section marker.

This is a long requested feature/bug.

One way to get what you want is to use a nested generic annotation in the callout that has dashes (-) for the horizontal lines and use the vertical bar (|), above backslash (\) on keyboard for the vertical bars.

Also, how does your elevation callout work when you have more than 1 view from the same marker.

Elevation marks are made from a body with a nested pointer.

The pointer should contain the drawing/detail number and the body should contain the sheet number.

Everything in the pointer rotates while everything in the body remains stationary.
