Adjustable thumbnail for Issues

Adjustable thumbnail for Issues

We would like more functions for the Thumbnail icon on Issues. We want to be able to reposition the section line which currently is not possible, once you select the Section analysis tool it snaps out of the edit issue mode so the section line cannot be changed, so if the design around an element has moved (which was visible in the issue thumbnail but has since moved 'out of frame' we cannot move the section line to suit, we would need to delete the issue, adjust the section plane and place it again, which makes managing issues more difficult.

 

The thumbnail is the first thing users see, and should have options to represent the issue in the best way possible. This would bring consistency and give more visual clarity of the issue. We would also like to be able to add a thumbnail for all issues, including those not created from within the model space. Even within the model space some issue are best represented as an uploaded file, not a screenshot from the model.  The current workaround is to attach the desired thumbnail image as an attachment, but it's not instantly visible and is often missed, therefore we'd like to propose this improvement of the Thumbnail.

 

Thanks!

Please note the section adjustment does not work for custom section lines angles (by clicking on an element and selecting section plane to make it orthogonal to that element, which we always want to do). Moving the issue when using the default section works (ie. the issue can be repositioned), but this (default) section line is rarely the correct angle to the walls and we need this feature to be possible to bespoke section line angles too so we can show the issue from the best angle.
