The labels are there, and then they are not, and then they are back

I ran into this issue today, so not just you.  Mine was where half where labeled and half weren't.

We have those set to show, but they randomly disappear then reappear with no real rhyme or reason. 

 

Yeah, I have noticed some funky behavior that seems to be related to camera angles.  My guess is that you don't really have them set to "show" and you are still using "automatic".

 

In camera views, labels can be set to "show", "hide", or "automatic".  When they are set to automatic, they will sometimes show and sometimes not.  If they are showing and you don't want them to, then just force them to hide.  If they are not showing and you want them to, then just force them to show.  When you use the edit toolbar button, I think it will either force them to show or hide and it should turn off the automatic behavior. 

 

If they are not doing what you want when you have them set to automatic, you still might want to send this to Chief and "suggest" that they make the automatic behavior work better.

they appear and don't appear simply by updating the view. sound like a bug vs an intended design needing an improvement suggestion

I have this problem when I have an elevation that I previously sent to a layout open. When I have it zoomed in to an area and some of the windows are out of view, it seems when you force the update in the layout with that tab still open, it removes the labels that are outside the current view area. If you close the tab first or zoom out to the extents to make sure all the windows are in view, and then force the layout to update, the labels should display automatically per your display options.

 

Definitely a bug.

anyone seen this behaviour?

 

Updating the layout causes window labels to show then not show

 

he layout boxes seems to cause different window/door lables to appear, but never all of them at the same time

 

@SHCanada2

Try zooming out on the view or close the tab, then update. When you zoom in and update an open elevation tab, for whatever reason it hides the labels on any windows out of the current view.
