Add a Height Symbol
Architectural, Framer
This function allows you to add a height symbol to a 2D drawing, a 3D model, a geometry generated from the building model opened from a drawing sheet (elevation, section, or perspective view), or a wall panel drawing view. A height mark may look like this, for example, in a floor plan (A), a model (B) or an opened geometry (C):
