    • RE: Ground Plane work position

      I tried this solution of moving the axes down, but my ground plane is not following the axes... I didn't have the ground plane on before, but now that I want to use it, it is cutting through my model. I can't move my model, as I have 60 scenes for an animation that would all have to have their elevation updated.

      Is there a "refresh" or some other means to update the ground plane elevation?

      Thanks!

    • RE: Schedules in Layout

      In response to Dave R:

      Thank you for the clarification, and the suggestion of a box behind it with the fill and border to give it some definition, that is a good idea!

      I meant "illegible", and it's because of the fine black lettering on gray background, which I realize now could not only be changed but also prints clear on your paper (which is probably white) anyways.

    • RE: Schedules in Layout

      Just did some testing, the problem I describe above only arises after I edit the .rtf inserted table.

      For example, if I insert a .rtf table, it will update as expected for a Layout document reference. But as soon as I give it a fill or "stroke" border it behaves like an independent shape and will not update with its reference document.

      I cannot simply leave it in raw form without giving it a fill, it is ineligible.

      @dave r said:

      ... If you import the table as an RTF file, you can go back to the text editor, edit, save and the text is updated in LO.

      This is where I'm having a problem, my table won't update in Layout. I created it in Word, saved it as an .rtf file, and successfully inserted it into Layout. The formatting was funny, but I was able to correct it easily.

      I still can't update the table in Layout. My method is to edit the Word document, save it, overwrite the .rtf file, and then update the document reference in Layout. Layout will show the reference as "old", then show it as "current" afterwards, but the table itself does not actually change. I've also noticed that if I click "purge" the .rtf reference will disappear from my Document Setup window list, as if my inserted .rtf file is not actively linked to the document reference...

      Any insight would be greatly appreciated, and a solution will be rewarded with beer when you visit my town.

      Thanks!
