Jank - Section View Layout and Group Plot Style

Section View Layouts and Group Plot Styles are pretty janky and unpredictable. In the first Section View Layout, the sheets layout fine, but for the last sheet, the layout for no apparent reason lays out wrong:

For the other Section View Layout, the Section Views should easily fit in the allotted width, but they will not place correctly, even though the Group Plot Style has the space between Columns set to 0, and drafting buffer size is unchecked. What is the deal with the space to the left of the section views? Why does it not move them more to the left to allow both columns to fit?

Hi @jameshitt 

 

Did you try the right click to any section view and choose "update sectionview group"?

Can you share your file to take a look?

Yes, I prompt them to Update Section View Layout constantly, to no effect.

Here is the CAD file. I can't Promote the corridor into the drawing (because Civil 3D doesn't allow you to), so hopefully that doesn't cause trouble when you're examining the file.

Wow, for absolutely no reason whatsoever, that Section View Layout Sheet started laying out correctly for me as well. So, glad it's working, but jank still verified.

However, the layout in the second image still remains problematic. Why is it only allowing 1 column on the first sheet when there is easily room for 2 columns?
