1/8 Interior Elevation Marker / Section Markers

[Anonymous]

Does anybody where I can find a 1/8 interior elevation and section markers ? I have a floor plan view I need to show at 1/8 because of the size of the structure so all of my interior elevation markers look huge. Could not find any in the default familes unless I'm looking in the wrong spot.

Thx,

Marc

I assume you already changed the scale of the view to 1/8" and the interior elevation markers adjusted accordingly and are still too large for your view as you desire.  If so, you will need to take an existing elevation marker and make a new one.  Just open one of the default elevation markers, save as a new one.  Then scale the graphics down by 1/2 and then change the label printed text height to 1/8".  Once finished, save and load into the project.  You will need to go to Manage, Additional Settings, Elevation Markers and change it to the one you just made.

Hope this helps

Here is how you find out which symbol being used in an Elevation marker:

Then, go to Family Browser > Annotation Symbols > and edit the Family.

Note that the change is universal, so you may want to make it in a way that the Symbol looks good not only in 1/8" drawings, but also in other scales such as 1/4", 1/2", etc.  I personally shrunk the OOTB down to 75% and keep labels as 3/32" size.
