Make Elevations Room-Aware

Make Elevations Room-Aware

Give the Elevation System Family the ability to be Room-aware. This way, when creating an Elevation, it will "know" the Name and Number of the Room it is in. Automatic View naming could also be possible when generating elevations.

Current Workflow:

-Place Walls>Place Room>Place Elevation Mark>Create Elevation>Place on Sheet

-Name Elevation View and/or Title on Sheet. The naming process is manual and error-prone, and it has no "smart" connection to the Room Name and Number.

Proposed Workflow:

-Same as above until naming the View--if the elevation mark is "room-aware"--and perhaps know the orientation of Project North

-Elevation Views are named automatically from Room parameters of Room Name, Room Number and which direction the elevation is pointing in relationship to Project or True North.

Such a room aware elevation could (should?) have the crop region maintain its distance from the nearest cut room boundary so that if the room is resized the elevation would also resize itself. his could be via a manual or automatic constraint.
