DRAWZILLA

Can you try to use the auto storypole dims and do you have your dims setup to locate framing?

#1 rule for me is "When in doubt" restart first

You can also have different patterns in the stucco or siding material, for new and existing walls. Try to copy whatever material you use and add a custom pattern to create a difference.

The problem is when using Chief's driver is that it creates a huge file size as compared to Adobe and other pdf drivers.

The only reason some people keep them is if they help people using older versions or have a lot of older version plans. For me it's better to just bring in older plans and fix them up to work in the current version.

B/c Chief is always adding new tools and lib items

Also is your video card drivers up to date?

no , I dumped it, only X9 and X10 on my computer

nope, don't have it, if I have to I will just trace a plan--started with ver 10

Don't know b/c I delete those zero layers, and why does Chief include those layers anyway.

If anyone has a problem with something not showing in 3d ,then just delete that pesky zero layer and it will show again. Had that problem many times.

Thanks for posting the fix.

I only keep X9 and X10 on my system. if I need to bring any plans forward for some reason, it comes in pretty good with minor fixes depending on how old they are. Any older than 2 versions I will copy the old plan to a new template plan.

carbonite here also.

because if you don't flip them , the two walls will keep joining up to create one wall all the time

if you don't want them to show on the foundation plan, put them on their own layer and just turn the layer off in plan view, they can still show on the elevations. you can even put them in a schedule, use a window schedule and just show vents.

I think Eric means for you to post the actual plan file

I would stay away from the Quadro card use NVidia gtx

maybe they are also header lines

I find that sometimes that o paint layer screws thing up and I have deleted them all

What I do for elevations, I actually send to the layout using different anno-sets with thicker line weights for roofs, windows ,doors. I actually have different anno-sets to show different items, like when I don't want to show block walls or fences and just the building. Look to using Anno-sets, IMO they are the best thing Chief has come up with. You can totally adjust the lines to whatever you want and not effect everything else.

No errors for me and the jive is close enough, at least never had any complaints. Most framers will know when they need to align with existing walls, they just don't care about 1.2" or so

when I measure with the disto, I will round off the measurements to the nearest inch

We all know with remodeling it's plus or minus 1 to 3 ", so it shouldn't be a problem to get an even number. even at 1/16.

I would try to print to PDF and see if it corrects itself.
