Lew, I didn't give up on the Wall Elevation camera issue (I sent it in).

I'm giving up on trying to understand Perry's logic behind wanting to have invisible walls block what you would see in real life. From his answers, I'm fairly sure he is on a different page, so no sense worrying about it; Moving on!!

I use the tool the way it was intended to be used, stay in that room, no problem.
its a wall elevation not a room elevation.

Perry:

then CA needs to provide a preference as obviously there are others who don't like the current default

I can see where I could use it either way depending on my need
so I would like to have a choice

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 didn't think you loved me anymore.

Dave, I didn't think you loved me anymore.

I edited out you specifically as I probably just don't understand your way of thinking in regard to showing a wall elevation, but that's ok. There were others, that don't post, that like to show invisible walls too!!

We both get what we want.

[perryh]

IT not that I like or dislike it. I just haven't had any problems like your having. I must do it differently than you.

[Dave Pitman]

No worries; We can move on and argue or agree on something else!

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.

[Joe Carrick]

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.

Is this what you are referring to?

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.
