It is the Gable Fascia size of the other adjacent roof planes because the fascia belongs to them, not the roof plane you have selected.

Seems like if you place the Wall Covering AFTER placing the Backsplash it works OK.

At my first quick look.... I think it could be because you have already used a Wall Covering. Open the room dbx and delete the Wall Covering. I am not 100% sure why this is happening - maybe you can't use a Custom Backsplash with a Wall Covering. I will have a play and see if I can find anything else.

Do you mean you are using Cad Detail From View? Have a play with the layer "Wall, Thru Wall Lines".

Don't use points - too hard to keep track of. Use lines, splines or elevation regions. Try and avoid the use of terrain modifiers Do not cross contour (Elevation) lines. Always best to trace the imported data with Elevation Lines or Elevation Splines when practical. Best to avoid breaking elevation lines for text or other data like heights, etc.

I just had a quick look and found a couple quickly. Interior Stair Defaults>Carpet Runner>Carpet-04 Ghost Exterior Stair Defaults>Carpet Runner>Non-Slip Surface

First off, I would turn off the display of contour lines in layer display options and then have a look for any rouge elevation data.

What is the "tiny line"? You are not understanding the basics of this operation. You do not need a dbx. Select the object you want to move, click on the dimension text, a box will pop up displaying the dimension (in your example it is the box with 8' in it), the dimension value will be hilighted, change it to what you want, hit Enter, the selected object will move.

You need to turn on the backdrop in your template plan and then save the template plan.

How are you rotating the plan? Rotate With Plan only works when you use Rotate Plan View or when you rotate a layout box.

Apparently it was fixed in X12, but got broken again in X13. It is on the "to be fixed" list.

This sounds a bit suspect to me. When you do File > Import > Import Drawing (DWG, DXF)..., the file should not be saved to the same folder as the plan - it shouldn't be saved anywhere - it should open the Import Drawing Assistant dbx.

I think the easiest way is to use the Active Layer Display Options and leave it open. Or, Layer Hider? One keyboard shortcut (mine is LH) and 1 mouse click. While this is a quick way to hide layers, I don't think there is an easy way to turn those layers back on apart from ALDO. I don't understand this question.

That changed back in X11

Another way is to use the Object Painter tool. Select one of the dimension markers (make sure you get the marker and not the dimension line - the status bar will tell you what object is being selected). Change it Radius to zero. Select the Object Painter tool and then Object Eyedropper. Select the marker you just changed to zero height (once again, make sure you get the marker - you can still select it even though it has zero size). Using the Object Painter in Object Mode, you can click on only the markers you want to hide. A bit fiddly, but gets the job done.

If you can use a pony wall to configure your walls properly, Chief will place the auto Wall Cap from the outside of the upper wall layers. This may not fit your situation though.

Insert New Floor

Chief will automatically add sidewalks to roads. Select the road and on the Edit toolbar, select Auto Generate Sidewalks. One shortcoming is that it will not copy any curved joins in the roads.

In a 3D view use the rainbow tool (Adjust Material Definition). Select the vegetation material, open it's dbx, go to the Properties panel and turn the Transparency up to 100%. This will not work in a vector view, but will work in Standard or Physically Based views. These are the same tree:

You can do that in the Window Defaults and then use the windows dbx to toggle the display of indicators on an individual basis.

Does't sound like the island room thing from your description. If Joey's suggestion doesn't work, post the plan.

Try General Wall Defaults>Resize About>Inner Surface

Try ....Define Material dbx>Pattern>Offset and Angle>Global Symbol Mapping If that doesn't work, you may have to make copies of the material (one for each floor) and change the horizontal offset for each floor.

This is a bug that goes back to when wall caps were introduced. I reported it as a bug way back then, but it still isn't fixed. I will report it again.

Rene, I am not 100% clear on exactly what you want, so this may or may not help: Select the first light Multiple copy - Evenly Distribute - enter number of copies Start to drag the light in the general direction you want to go - you can drag in any direction, it doesn't really matter because you are going to set the angle of the line of lights in the next step Hit Tab Use Relative to Start and Polar Enter the distance from the first light to the last copy Enter the angle of the line of lights OK Using Tab will work in copying just 1 light in a known direction and distance - just leave out multiple copy and use the copy command. Using Tab during the drag will avoid any snaps that may get in the way otherwise.
