Wall elevation camera bug in X5?

[Dave Pitman]

Just wanted to pass along that CA listened to my (and anyone else that took the time to submit a ticket) objection to not allowing an option for the wall elevation camera to see through invisible walls. The latest release includes a radio button to let the user choose.

It is an option, so those of you that want non-existent objects to be depicted in plans have that choice too.

Thanks CA!

Dave, I haven't tried it yet. Will it ignore an invisible wall that goes all the way across the room and is not set as "No Room Def"?

BTW, that's a Checkbox - not a Radio Button.

Yes, it will.

Yes, it will.

What about an Invisible Wall parallel to the camera direction that's also a Room Def Wall? Will the Automatic Room Elevations span across that wall?

If so then I'd say they did a great job on resolving the issue.

Exactly! Is that really two rooms and the Elevations were created with the "Automatic Room Elevations Tool"?

Yes. After you select the auto room elevations, you have to open the camera and check the box. I have not looked hard yet to see if you can have it checked by default or not.
