Topic: You down with OPP?

[Bob Wahr]

Just wondering how all y'all yeah, I said it denote section cut conditions like TYP, OPP, SIM, HIGH, LOW, etc.

I'm trying to decide how I want to do them.  Right now I'm just throwing a piece of text by the section cut, mostly out of laziness. Figure I'll probably ad in a couple (3 in case?) of attributes.  Still haven't decided if I like my section cut symbol enough as is anyway though.

OPPosite works for me...what does that section cut mark look like?

"Yeah, you know me!!!"


Wait...what??  Oh...  I thought this was the "Unofficial Swamp Finish The Lyrics To That Song" thread.  My bad. 

[Bob Wahr]

The question was not so much about the abbreviation as the implementation.

Sounds like a job for (duh duh duh duuuuhhhhhh) <Booming echo voice> DYNAMIC....NAMIC.... namic     BLOCKS....BLOCKS... blocks </Booming echo voice>

are you planning to use section view blocks and sheet set manager functions to link the section views to the page(s) they appear on, or???

The section cut block is a dynamic block, doesn't much answer my question still.  Text w/visibility states?  How exactly did you do it.

Michael, I am referencing the sheet with an attribute.  I know this is a hot button topic for you, but I really haven't found any benefits to sheet sets that offset the (admittadly minimal) setup time in doing it on my typical projects.  I know we've had this conversation before and would be more than happy to be shown how I'm wrong, but it hasn't happened yet.

Text w/visibility states?

That's what I was thinking.

How exactly did you do it.

We simply have a "dumb" block with an attribute and default is SIM.

[JCTER]

I use visibility states, yea.  Sometimes I'm annoyed with the number of clicks required for a simple toggle of a vis state, though.

Other times I will have the section labeled to clarify.

"Section A - Opposite Shown" or some such clarification.  Kinda still developing this ourselves.

so I've asked before and never gotten an answer from you.  I'll try it again.  Give me three things that I can do with sheet sets that I can't do as easily or more easily without them.  You have mentioned plotting before.  I asked how it was better than publish for plotting a set and never got an answer.  My parachute is open but I seem to be falling through a vacuum.

[Bob Wahr]

I'm having trouble seeing how vis states would be better than attributes.  If it were only ever one modifier, it could work, but two is not that uncommon so then I have issues with placement. ditto placement issues with the arrow when it's rotated.  Could allow them to move but with attributes, I can grip drag them.
