Doug_N Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I am working on a project that requires the plan view of each floor to have a reference grid that intersects at each column. Is there a easy way to do this where each grid has an alpha callout at the top of the layout view and numeric callout along one or both sides.

Alaskan_Son Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Cameras displayed as callout with cross section lines and visible on all floors are my personal favorite method. Biggest downside is lack of ability to snap to those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 (edited) but that means two cameras for each and every column grid pair doesn't it? Edited March 16, 2018 by Doug_N Thought of a clearer response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but then they will remain constant on all floors. Much less room for error. You can also just use callouts with cross section lines and Copy/Paste in Place from floor to floor or use your Reference Dispaly and/or overlap views in layout but IMO, cameras are the most dependable, most flexible, and least error prone.

Doug_N Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Well ok then. lol. I will give it a try. It will give me a boatload of cross sections to boot. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
