There MUST be a way to quickly draw an elevation symbol like the one pictured. I looked up an old thread but I think they were talking about a mark (or whatever you’d call it): [image]

Hi! I did one of these myself, with some Grasshopper script inside the vaAnnotation object. I can post it if you like. It does not have this leader line, though. This you would have to add yourself. If you did so, there would not be some comfy edit points, though, like in normal Rhino annotations.

Hi @keithscadservices , As @Eugen says, you can do this with a Grasshopper style. You can find information about how it here . You can find already made Grasshopper styles in Food4Rhino . I think this one is the most similar one to what you need. You can import these Grasshopper styles like this .

@Eugen Thanks Eugene! That would be helpful. @alfmelbev That looks interesting/fun to build and there is a long weekend coming up. I don’t mind building/tweaking my own tools (prefer it actually as long as I have time). I’m just guessing a bit but I feel like VisualARQ might do well to include more…

Don’t forget: these are 3d objects (unlike elevation marks in say Revit or ArchiCAD), and they follow my own layer ‘system’ - which of course you could change in the style definition.

Hi @keithscadservices , Sure, we could add new objects to the library. Please, let me know which ones you would like to have.

[image] alfmelbev: Please, let me know which ones you would like to have. Thanks, appreciated! Ideally, these symbols work also in Layout space (2D mode, so to say) and derive their information (if any) out of the underlying Detail - just like regular Rhino annotations. If so, they should al…

[image] keithscadservices: The default content doesn’t really come close to the program’s full potential. I totally agree. Actually, VisualARQ is too expensive for its performance

To be honest I would have to draw the same building side-by-side in Revit and AutoCAD to really do a thorough job. I might do just that in the future. I’ve had really good success modelling parking garages in Rhino to much higher accuracy than is achievable in Revit (at least within a reasonable tim…

Hi @Eugen , I have a few questions about your requests: [image] Eugen: annotation symbols, for elevations and floorplans, but with ‘2D mode’ What do you mean with “2D mode”? [image] Eugen: Grid lines, with some options for the line headers Do you mean a structural grid?

Just in case others see this post, the Guides feature has been implemented in VisualARQ 3. Check this out: https://youtu.be/2rfaGogZoQE?si=voUXQNtRQNjPdX9r
