Symbol Bounding box offset

[Michael_Gia]

Hi there,

 

I usually create a sloped driveway by placing a driveway on a sloped terrain and then creating a symbol for that driveway.  Then I can position it on my terrain at the height I want and at the slope I want independent of my terrain’s slope. 

(stole that from one of Scott Hall’s sloped deck video)

The problem is always with the blinding box not being aligned with the symbol in 2D. See photo.

How can I line up the bounding box with the symbol in 2D?

Open Symbol and change the origin offsets to zero.

It is at zero.  When I enter values in the origin offset it simply moves the symbol around in 3D but the bounding box remains where it is.

Post a quick example eh.

Here’s the plan...

Looks like that symbol got a little corrupted somehow.  Drop into a blank plan and convert to symbol again.

You were right sir.

I was working on an X10 plan in X11.

When I created a new plan in X11, all behaved properly.

 

I think this gives weight to the idea that for each new version of Chief we need to create a new template or plan from scratch in that new version as opposed to using an older plan or template from previous versions.

....which sucks
