very very advanced to build and requires custom models to create. recommendation would just be to use a CAD detail with a note

I'm guessing that its not wall lengths you are after but rather wall heights as that would indicate a longer cut/stud length and would be more useful information. I'm not sure why you would want that in a schedule as opposed to a material list. What is the actual end goal, what are they trying to solve for? Casing and base would be a custom schedule with custom macros. Would need to know more about the end goal again before I would advise on that. Seems as if you someone is tying to use this as a buy order.

if you open the polyline up what shows on this panel:

man if youre trying to get better trees I'm gonna go ahead and mention my stuff as its optimized for chief: https://www.rabbittdesign.net/shop/p/low-poly-realistic-tree-and-plant-package-chief-architect-x-16-pre-order

that wouldnt work as a ramp. you'd be creating a second slope across the width of the ramp which is going to tip someone sideways as they are pushed up the ramp.

and also....more often than not I find errors in plans that are auto cad based files that are generated by the drafter themselves. They may have made a mistake and actually have a 25' section there

I sell templates that have a ton of dynamic architectural and structural details:

you can trace it with cad lines or you can try converting it to a dxf with an online jpg to dxf converter

Change the text style for Cad,Default also, I mentioned this to you in email, would highly recommend doing your lot with a polyline and leaving your terrain as a rectangle. This is a big liability:

@buzzsaw204 please provide a plan file. I can't diagnose what that polyline is or what layer its on and if its just a polyline or a polyline based object. It looks like you have a polyline based object below your terrain perimeter which you are selecting and is likely on another layer

Im not sure I know what you are referring to. To my knowledge there is no temporary line length unless possibly you are using a polyline label. in which case that's the polylines,labels text style.

Thats the Text Style of whatever layer that line is on

For those looking for info about creating plot plans and lots in #ChiefArchitect. Here you go:

It can be within the plans cad details

This has more to do with the export method than anything chief could do anything about and again is more a problem on autodesks end as they in fact smooth their own component based assembly but seems they do not have a vector smoothing option for imported 3d objects or your technicians do not know how to implement such an option. Simply put, you 3ds/dae/dwg as methods of export will always split into quads or triangles. No matter what it will be tessellated. 3ds works just fine, same as dae. Just circling back, this is not a chief problem, this is a them problem...from a rendering artist of 25 years. renders in sketchup from 3ds: I would suggest working with the architect to commit the design changes in Chief. It will be more economical. As a last effort, you might take your export into blender and re-export as an fbx file

see if clicking this tool: which is located at: and in the dialog choose: to get:

for those who need it. Edit The Active View then:

Question then is why are you exporting 3d dwgs instead of 2d dwgs? There is nothing that an end user in revit can do with a 3d dwg except for rebuilding the model. Same with autocad, they just need the 2d representation of your plan views and elevations in vector which they could actually manipulate. Trust me..its autodesk that does not want you to be able to build a model that works in 3d within revit from a 3rd party software...chief would steal half their user base if that happened. Why is 3ds not working? In terms of what, conveying a 3d model or rendering or? They are not going to be able to feasibly use your 3d model for anything other than rendering. In sketchup maybe, if you were a top technician as you would need to use a slicing tool to get much of any kind of modification done. Im not sure what it is you're trying to accomplish as your end product that you would need to export and then modify in pohotoshop. We have section cut tools in chief architect that you can render in a raytrace view and it will look far superior to most other softwares. Also in sketchup, vector lines dont matter as we would typicaly render using a plugin such as thea or vray which has vector smoothing. So to summarize, I would be exporting to architects and engineers in 2d dwg plan views and elevations for them to markup for engineering and i would export in 3ds for 3rd party rendering in sketchup, twinmotion, D5, Lumion and supplement polycount capped items by exporting them as dae/collada

you're uploaded file shows a correct assembly. did you mean to upload one that had the offset you mentioned?

It's quite standard for modeling programs to use triangular tessellation instead of quads. Regardless of the method, you'll encounter split faces on irregular shapes no matter which program you use. Ultimately, it's up to the third-party software you are using for media marketing to handle vector smoothing. Most major third-party rendering programs come with built-in smoothing algorithms. Which software are you using, and in what format are you exporting your model?

we would need to see your wall properties tab for your framed wall
