Rotate Tag Annotation

vania.n — Fri, 14 Oct 2022 07:41:48 GMT

Hello.

I want to rotate the annotation tag for beams (see the image below). I have tried to rotate it with the rotate tool, and mirror tool, but it didn't rotate. Is there any solution?

Thank you

Hi @vania.n

For beams the tag is always positioned aligned to the beam direction and in the center of the beam. Rotation is not available for the beam tag.

You can position the beam tag without leader to the other side, by moving it (drag with mouse).

The text is always kept readable for the beam tag, so I don't think you can't get the alignment in your picture (Unchecking "keep readable" for the label inside the tag family doesn't change this behavior).

Thank you for your answer, I need to differentiate the left beam support and right beam support, and our standard is we see it from the right (for the vertical beams), so it needs all to be in the same orientation. These two beams (in the image below) have different orientations.

So for now I think it's impossible to make this happens (?)

But what should I do in this case?

Tag rotation problems here.

Main view ->structural plan view which we show whole building and do modeling in.

Then we have these duplicate as a dependent views that have been done with scobe box.

And as you can see here, we need to rotate part 2, so it fits to paper size and looks good.

This far everything goes like planned.

Tags and texts show in the main view and in the part 1 view ok because we don't need to rotate these views.

Part 2 we have problems because tags rotate automatically and of course in the wrong way. (or different way than in the main plan)

(I think these turn in to readable, and it doesn't matter is there dot in keep readable or not in the tags parameter)

We should have element ID:s showing same way in every plan.

(f.e. hollow core slabs and deltabeams).

How should I do this one?
