More exact Column Location Mark

[barbara.schurig]

Suggested by ATP Munich office

Column Location Mark should always show the distance to the axis of the grid, if it is not placed in center.

Column Location Mark, in the column options can show on what grid columns are placed. It will also show the distance, if a column is off grid.
But if the column will touch the grid and is not centered, there will be no way to see that it is not in the axis.

Here 3 scenarios:

Yellow is on axis, that is all fine:

 Green is touching the axis, also fine:

And blue is not on the axis, but showing no distance.
But there should be the value displayed, that the column is not exactly on the grid.

I don't agree 100% with the approach requested above, but i agree that the Column Location Marks need improvement.  There currently is little control over what column line is being detected - and if column lines are very close together, there is a good chance that a column might end up detecting a column line that the user did not intend it to be associated to.  

I do like the ability for the offset to not be read - this is useful when doing concrete columns with the grids aligned to face of column rather than center.

I would like to see the ability to a) Manually re-associate the column location mark to a different grid and b)have the option to show offsets when grid is not in contact with column or show offsets from centerline (regardless of whether grid is in contact or not)  and c) maybe consider having separate fields for column location mark and column location mark offsets (so the column location mark could be E-4 and the offset fields would read E(340)-4 )

Thanks for taking the time to submit your idea. Unfortunately, this idea did not get the support of the community over the last 6 months and as such we will not be pursuing it at this time. Please feel free to rework (titles and clear descriptions are really important) and resubmit this one down the road.

Hi @sasha.crotty,

So what is the solution to this as I am having the same issue with my column location gridlines bouncing off other gridlines when i make a schedule.

Thank you

Hi @sasha.crotty ,

I agree with @barbara.schurig. If one column is showing offset from the center, then shouldn't it be consistent to all columns?

I hope it's fixed soon.

Thanks.
