Alan, There are 3 walls at the bottom of the balcony ( the 45deg wall and the 2 walls to the left of that one) that are checked as No Room Definition.

The cross hair setting makes no difference to me.

Are you talking about one of the Extensions at Preferences...Edit...Snap Properties...Extensions...

Perry, The Wall Material Region Tool doesn't quite do what the Custom Backsplash does automatically. The Custom Backsplash is aware of cupboards whilst the Wall Material Region is not aware of cupboards. Click a Material Region Tool on a wall between the upper and lower cupboards and it sizes to the whole wall. Do the same with a Custom Backsplash and it only sizes to the length of the lower cupboards and to the top of the upper cupboards. Obviously the tools are based on each other - with subtle differences. Kilgore is correct about the y=0 problem, that I believe has been fixed. Locate y=0 in plan view and make sure all your building is a above y=0

Looks more like a screen resolution problem to me. This is a screen capture of the same table. It's a lot smoother than yours. How does yours look on the screen. The 45deg roof one is, I believe pretty standard and is definitely related to the 45deg line and the screen resolution. I see the same thing

Perry, I don't think that is true. P solids ARE calculated in the materials list under Exterior Trim.

Post the plan.

d dot, Could be lots of things - you are only guessing without a plan!

Larry, Can you post a small plan that demonstrates the problem?

Aerial view doesn't work in cross section/elevations. Have you tried the Fill Window Building Only zoom tool?

Gene, Try this: Select the room and open it's dbx. Materials Panel...Walls...Plan Material. In the Plan Materials dbx scroll up to the top and select Use Default. This will set all the walls back to the default - including the stone fireplace wall. If you now want all your walls to be sheetrock, you should set this in the wall definitions.

My guess is that when you create a folder in DropBox or SugarSync, there is a system or hidden file being created. In Folder Options, do you have "Show Hidden Files, folders and Drives" toggled on? Or even try toggling off "Hide Protected operating system files" if the above doesn't reveal any files.

Preferences...Edit...Snap Properties...Options...Always Snap Walls On Allowed Angles?

Posting the plan might help.

Kirk, I have had success by doing the following: Open the template plan (not a new plan, but the template plan). open the LB & PB and place and save them where you want. Save the template plan. Even after a reboot and open Chief, the settings are remembered.

Perry, I was going to point out that the reply from TS says that plan and layout views update OK - this implies that they are only looking at using the AV to change the layout or plan view. BUT that is not the problem. The problem is that the Aerial View doesn't update with a layout page change. They initially missed the problem.

Changing the Aerial Views size will update the view. But, yes, this should be fixed to update automatically.

Select the poly solid. On the Edit toolbar select Convert To Solid.

Don't worry, I see what you have done. It's just the polyline solid. The layer was turned off in the camera view.

All I get in that floor plan is a polyline hole. Can you try again. Close Chief before zipping the plan.

Joe, I am glad things are working for you. My apologies, I assumed that by telling us your setup, you wanted to help solve this particular problem so I was suggesting something that may help us track the problem down. Don't bother changing anything if you are not trying to help and if you are happy with your setup. Maybe you should start another thread to deal with your other topic.

Post the plan

Joe, What happens if you try running with your LB & PB undocked for a few days.

Here is mine.

Gene, posting the plan would help.
