Entry Level indicator

yes_and_no — Sat, 20 Jan 2024 19:02:45 GMT

We love the default Entry Level very much.

It works well with sections, elevations, perspective, showing the "ground" shading very much close to design intent without any extra work.

However, when making new sections/elevations, when all the level indicators, old or new, will automatically show up...but it. And contradictorily, it is indeed the most important level indicator we want in all drawings.

How wd I go about setting this to be automatic. We are in R17.

Anyone?

What's a "Default Entry Level"?

This 0'-0" level.

What do you mean it doesn't show up?

Can you explain, or even sketch, what you want it to look like. You can have levels that look different, if that is what you're trying to say.

So it is just a level name. If the level doesn't show up in a view then it is outside of the view range. Check the level extent, or simple select it, right click and maximize 3d extent.

That has nothing to do with "showing the 'ground' shading very much close to design", as you stated above. Shading is controlled by Sun Setting's "Ground Plane Level".

So, what was not showing up for you in the View? The ground level or the Level?
