JonHarrah Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 (edited) Hello everyone, I have a question Is there a way to show the as-built reference file in the elevations? I can get them to show in the floor plan and 3-d camera, but not in the section and elevations. Red is the referenced as-built, but not showing in the elevation. Any work around or am I just missing something. Thanks. KNAPSCHAEFER ADDITION.plan Edited October 29 by JonHarrah ADD PLAN FILE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 (edited) My guess is in the elevation view, the walls are not checked in the layers for that camera. Post the plan file so that others may offer a suggestion. Edited October 29 by Doug_N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonHarrah Posted October 29 Author Share Posted October 29 (edited) I figured it out. it was not referenced in the elevations in the plan but will not show up in the layout plan. KNAPSCHAEFER ADDITION.layout Edited October 29 by JonHarrah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are sharing from X16 or prior make a backup which will include all files. You cant do a reference elevation in layout, just send your elevation from the as built and send your elevation from your proposed and layer it on top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other workaround is sending an orthographic camera set to 90 90 direction and tilt but you can't directly annotate that with regular cad based text and polylines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonHarrah Posted Sunday at 06:36 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 06:36 PM So i sent from the as-built and the renovation plan to the layout but they are transparent. How do I work around this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted Monday at 08:11 PM Share Posted Monday at 08:11 PM Just export the plan file. That should be small enought to post the plan file. If not. you can put it is a cloud file (such as dropbox or onedrive) and then post a link to the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
