Ideas
- IDEA:truncate Span Direction Symbols like Grids (do not hide) [ARCHIVED] by lionel.kai - similar to (subset of) Hard cut for Crop View and Annotation Crop - this is a problem often encountered with partial plans (Dependent Views, etc.). WORKAROUND: The Span Direction Symbol will be shown if the Floor is completely contained within the "largest rectangle" containing the Crop Region, so Edit the Crop (if possible) to extend into an area without visible elements (see 2019-01-11 #4782.01 HSVH S-121 ID: 851339). One problem is that the bounding box then increases as well (which can cause issues with activating/deactivating the view and others on the Sheet). [TODO: create video and post workaround to idea]
- Span direction symbol option - stop the auto placement - should have option of whether or not to tag on placement like Framing, Beam Systems, etc. (and/or a DNSM checkbox when there isn't one loaded)
