Siding not going to foundation on a couple of walls?
glennw replied to Larry_Sweeney's topic in General Q & A
One way quick way to track down the difference between multiple objects is to group select the objects and open the dbx. Any settings that are the same will have a tick in the button. Any settings that are different will have a horizontal bar in the button. So, in this case, copy the wall from the old plan and paste into the new plan. Select the old wall along with a new wall and open the dbx. -

Auto Exterior Dimensions will dimension to opening centres.

As a default try: Default Settings>3D View Defaults>3D Views>Auto Rebuild Walls/Floors/ceilings Or as a one off try: Build>Floor>Auto Rebuild Walls/Floors/ceilings
-
Try Default Settings>Walls>Room Divider>Structure>Platform Intersections>Invisible Walls and Railings: Generate Between Platforms

Guess 1: Have a look for Wall Coverings in the wall dbx. Guess 2: Go to the Materials panel of the wall dbx, select the appropriate wall surface, Select Material, select Use Default Material.

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".

Contour splines don't create the terrain I expect
glennw replied to ADallas's topic in General Q & A
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.- 13 replies

glennw replied to ADallas's topic in General Q & A
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.- 13 replies

UI interaction on manually changing dimension line length
glennw replied to caf200's topic in General Q & A
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. -
Backdrop Disappears when i Close and reopen the software
glennw replied to goodburger18's topic in General Q & A
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.
