  1. I might have mentioned this before but increasing issue with callouts 'disintegrating' into lines and groups - frustrating that an automated feature of creating callout instances turns into more work..... the callouts randomly appear all over the drawing and refuse to go home or sometimes reappear but bring all their friends along. Makes for a stupid drawing.

    You mean align surface? Several things in play:

    • hardscape plan projection needs to be fully coincident with or overlapping all the target edges.
    • If target is extrude, the extrude direction determines “Top” of the alignment. Eg if target is extruded down, the hardscape alignment will respond to lower edge as “Top”.
    • If hardscape is curved too much relative to target objects, only part of the hardscape will align. Then hardscape modifiers required. 
       

    Can you post a simple example?

    thanks Benson. I've had good luck with align surface in general but no this is simply the geodetic reference for top or bottom. I have a .15m hardscape and I want a modifier (stake or grade) to reference the top and some hardscapes reference to the bottom (seems random). I'll send a screenshot when I am back in that project

  3. Hi- modifying hardscapes and settings are for modifier at top and it seems to randomly work at top or not. Frustrating in that the workaround is to go back and set modifiers to adjust to the component thickness... Especially fustrating when it aligns to the top of one edge and then to the bottom of the next. Is this a known issue or is there something I am missing

    thanks

  4. Hi - when adding a callout reference to a sheet the outline appears but the callout does not, when editing the annotation the grip handles show for the callout but again no callout - as a work around I switched the callout styled (or position) and it appears randomly on the drawing as circle, lines and text - (instance references are correct). 

    This is happening across numerous drawings (randomly). VW2022
