Has anyone experienced this before... 20+ Interior Building Sections tags suddenly moved to one place.

Yup, a whole bunch of section tags, representing sections already placed on a handful sheets, suddenly appeared in an interior elevation overlapping in the same place, thus messing up the section views. *Not all sections moved.

There are about ten people working on this file at any given time. I don't see any way to tell when it specifically happened or what caused it.

There didn't seem to be anything significant about the location they went to.. it seemed to be a random NE coordinate.

I'm perplexed, what about you?

Check with everyone to see who got the redlines (note, I mean those specific kind of redlines from someone not using Revit) that marked up to remove the section markers from some sheet somewhere they accidentially were left on in a plot... A beer at AU this year says it was a 'blonde cadder' moment (CAD habits won over Revit good sense). I would bet that a user was being conservative, *moving* the "section detail marker annotations" in favor of deleting them (as the redlines showed) because they got this hinky tingle that told them the shouldn't delete the sections, but wasn't tingly enough to make them remember that moving them beyond the "viewport" was just as bad...

Old school, I would send them to the blackboard to write 20x's: "I will remember to use VG before moving or deleting sections again." ;)

Good luck,
