View Full Version : Intersecting view tags visibility

I'm curious if anyone has come across this before, as I could not find a related post.
I have a building section which intersects detail section views. The callouts for the detail section views only appear in the building section view when they are in close proximity to the building section cutline. If I move the building section or detail section away from one another, the detail section callout tags will not appear in the building section view, even though they still intersect. Attached is an example where Detail 0 is not visible in the building section but Detail 1 is visible. Is there a way to have both detail callouts visible, regardless of their proximity to the building section cutline?

I tested your sample and get the same result. However, it does not seem to have anything to do with the tags as much as the distance from the section line. If the tag is greater than 4'-0" away from the section line then it does not show up. If it is less than 4'-0" then the tag does show up.

If you have a case where you need the tag to show, you can manually insert a tag that references the view you desire. Just go to the section view and create a new Callout, but before you draw the callout box, check the box on the properties bar that says "Reference other view:" and select the desired view. Then you can draw the callout box and it will reference the view as desired. If you don't like the "SIM" that shows up next to the tag, you can edit the tag family and remove the text "SIM" for that tag type.

it won't show it unless the actual view tag family is crossing the wall section lines.
you will notice that the flip section symbol of view 1 is actually touching the wall section, hence why you see it in your wall section.
very strange though...

It seems less to do with whether or not the tag itself crosses the section line as its proximity to the section line. 4'-0" appears to be the magic distance. Thanks for the help.
