This is a good reason for just using auto build, snce you would need to raise your porch rooms height in order to achieve this. So either raise your porch room 24" with your roof planes or set your railings to baloon through ceiling...Otherwise its using your default exterior wall to build from and that has a different size main layer from your railings

works well, its just showing your stem wall and footer/footing on floor 0. Much easier to show floor framing views or SOG and also way easier to do a full build out without messing with layer sets etc. I do not have a video on this cept for in a paid part of my discord where I went over foundations. Surprised if there isnt one floating around somewhere on the net

My foundation is on floor zero, walkout basements on floor 1...HIGHLY suggest this. You'll find that most of the power users that attend the advanced level II in Idaho do it this way for a myriad of reasons

I use the working layer set. No issue with text since my foundation is on floor 0 and there is no other text that would make it onto floor 0 so why not have it on the default text laayer

SPV never existed before just FYI. We never had save floor reference or remember zoom etc. Default sets were previously called Annotation Sets.

Your Working SPV got designated to use the Active Layer Set. Change the default by editing the active view to use the working layer set instead of the whatever the foundation SPV is using

Still planning on showing X16 at the booth?

Post your .plan file

Apparently we're fighting now, my previous symbol wasn't good enough? Fine Here's one with a more realistic base and custom texture, set to include in schedule as shelf on the cabs shelf layer with options set to mount to wall. I'm not petty you're petty Double wall shelf-3 tier.calibz

This isnt a disagreement, we are in agreement. Dropbox business uses the same save and sync method as Dropbox personal. To clarify working "Live" with dropbox and chief architect does not mean you are working on a file that is being hosted online. You are working on a file that is being hosted on your machine and then synced to the dropbox account once closed, which is EXACTLY why this happens: The problem Dave is having is that the end user thinks he can work from a file that is in an online only dropbox account that does not do "active syncing" to their machine in a folder that is associated with Dropbox. So Dave who has an active sync established through the Dropbox App on his computer is sharing a link with the colleague, and the colleague is clicking on the link in his dropbox online account, which in turn is being downloaded to their machine where it lives as a non-sync copy on some arbitrary section of their respective machine. This file then has no means of syncing back to Dropbox..it is just a "dumb" copy. The key difference here is that Kevin has associates that all have Dropbox syncing to a folder on their respective machines, and in this fashion, this is no different than having a scraper constantly checking a website.

Wait wait wait don’t delete anything. I think you should hire some help or call db. you and your colleague have your own Dropbox accounts. That’s as it should be, one of you should have ownership of the project folder and share that folder via Dropbox share to the other person account who will click add to Dropbox on their end. both sides should be syncing to their desktop. Your colleague who is working “from online” is the problem. There is no “working from online” in Dropbox, all that means is that they are downloading the file and working on it, which is not the same as working on a file that’s in an active sync location on their desktop. thats just downloading something and working on a “dumb” copy

there is typical a surface at the outer bounds of the bounding box, this one was easy to spot. Here you go: Double wall shelf-3 tier.calibz

one of you may not be properly added to the dropbox or have it added to their dropbox or have it approproiately linked to their dropbox account and be set to actively syncing

I think I mentioned this before but you should not be both working on the same file at the same time. Instead, you should be making a copy of the containing folder and you will work on the files within that folder and then shut down and let it sync. Then your colleague should be making a copy of that newly synced folder, and work from the files within. My guess is that your colleague or you have the file still open and thus chiefs file locking is happening and so dropbox has a redundency issue and is not syncing because of it

I really think a replace from library approach would work better in this case. One symbol reports included and has a blank cad block and the layer is always turned on and the symbol has no geometry just a big bounding box, then a custom placed library object that you hover over and click and then its placed correctly and reports everything under the sun from the OIP

Just do this with a symbol and a custom schedule and redraw your symbol's cad block to represent the graphic you need. Not a matter of displaying or not displaying a layer, but rather placing a symbol. Tie it to a Custom Placed Library Object in your toolbar and that'd be lighting fast.

I have a newer version that does a bit more in my pro plan template but this one should still work great for all intensive purposes. Go into CAD/Text/Text Macro Management then start a new macro, set to evaluate on an object level, name it, then in your window default label, click the macro drop down and find it in your user macros

An FYI:
