Our office made our own detail/section bubbles that are a bit smaller than the standard ones that come loaded in Revit. Now when I place a new detail cut in our drawing the line connecting the tail to the bubble is not actually touching the bubble head. I made our new bubbles 1/16" smaller in diameter and now the line is 1/16" short of the bubble. It still acts like it is connected but does not display the correct way. How can I fix this?

It seems like the famly is not center on the ref plane. Can you psot the family?

Section heads can be a bit tricky to modify. I've had this issue also. Start with the default family and resize the circle from the center to keep it on the ref. planes. Once you are done, it's a good idea to test it in an actual project by drawing sections that go in each direction, because they tend to behave differently when drawing left to right vs. up and down.

Just figured it out. I hadn't repositioned my "right" reference plane to make contact with the horizontal at the correct place.
