Firstly... Those stairs don't work. There is not enough head room at the top. It looks like there is only about 3' headroom on the left hand side at the top.

This explains what happened:

Rob, Have a look down at the bottom of this dbx:

As Mick says, probably easier to create your own from cylinder solids, multiple copy and save as a Millwork symbol. It should only take a minute or two. You can then use it in your railing panel. This one just took me less time than to write this post.

Instead of using a material, I think you are better off using a railing panel which will display properly in both render and vector views. This is a panel railing using the Cross-Hatch Ironwork - although you can't easily change the sizing of the mesh. Standard: Vector: Settings:

While this looks OK in a rendered view, it doesn't really work for a vector view as it is only a texture and is not transparent in the vector view. Grapes, people....all the same.

You just beat me to it.

My guess is a gable.

Something like this? Use a railing with Panels and Post To Rail. Change the Plan Display to Show Newels and Draw Balusters and Panels, or what you want.

Kyle, Are you saying you want this: And not this: If so, that is controlled by the Reach setting

Check the Tilt Angle setting in the camera defaults. Did you first draw the camera view when connected to the TV? Are you running your computer monitors at anything other resolution than 1920x1080? Just stabbing in the dark.

Looks to me like it could be a camera setting/monitor or TV aspect ration setting. Open the Camera Specification dbx and check the Tilt Angle - what is it? Set it to zero and see what happens. Does this happen to new camera views? Or...post the plan.

A screen capture might help

Alan, I am not sure what you mean by this. Esc is usually a shortcut to Cancel Selection/Previous Command - not Select Objects. ESC does default to Selection mode when it has cycled through all the history of commands which makes it look like it is a select tool if you only have one command in the command history list and press ESC once. Or, if you have more that one command in the command history list, repeatedly hitting ESC will cycle back through the command history list. Have you changed any of the keyboard shortcuts lately? Have you closed and reopened Chief?

Symbol Molding?

Ryan, Your rafter overhangs look like they are being cut off by the wall.

Build a second floor.

Yes, as stated by Mick, if you use the Material Painter tools to paint ANY walls (if that is what you did), the materials are not included in the Materials List.

I don't think it is a video problem. I think it is a missing image file problem. I can assign another random image (.png file) and it displays instead of the original plant image. When I do a 3D view in X12 I get a Missing File message dbx. The missing tree image is specified as coming from the X10 data folder. A lot of your textures are specified as coming from the X10 folder and some even coming from your X7 folder. Does that sound correct to you?

Depends what you mean by drawing sheet. Do you have a drawing sheet displayed in the view. Fill Window? Fill Window Building Only?

We already have a temporary dimension toggle.

I think the problem is that you are not including in your selection all the objects that are referenced by the dimension. Dimensions are only included in a cad block when all the objects they dimension are included in the block. This is a cad block including dimensions:

You can make your own fairly easily using a Polyline Distribution Path (for the lights) and a corresponding Molding Polyline (copied and converted PDP to a MP for the cord). This one took a minute or two.

Thats what I was getting to.

Would you be happy with no line at all?
