Type, Description and Code

Refer Common Controls.

Marker page

The Marker page has similar controls to those on the Line and Fill page. The difference is that there is a Style list, instead of a Fill list, where you can select a shape for your marker i.e. square, diamond, plus, and cross. Simply click one of the shapes to change to it.

Size page

Position

The grid of buttons are standard and have no effect on markers.

Visibility

These options offer better control over the display, as you can turn it on or off in each view mode. You can choose to hide or show a section by using the...

• Plan check box - Plan view(the drawing page)
• Line check box - for Wireframe visibility (3D View)
• Solid check box - other 3D views visibility (Hidden, Solid, Textured)

Height, Depth, Width

The Specify Size in World Coords check box is by default turned off, i.e. default is Page coordinates, the measurement shown on the A4 plan.

Markers not only allows you to set out precise layouts in 2D but can also be used in 3D by turning on  Specify Size in World Coords check box. When specifying the marker in World coordinates, the height, width, depth, height-off-floor change the marker size.

Example of Markers in 3D View 

If you provide a height setting and go into 3D, you will see the marker at that height.

This is an example of a large size marker compared to a nearby cabinet.
