In the referenced plan file dialog screen, just highlight the unwanted original file (Plan "A") and click browse. Select the new plan file (Plan "B") you want linked to that new layout. It will then condense down to just the single plan reference after clicking ok.

Attached are two pictures with dimensions. All pink dimensions have text moved in dimension string. Blue is unmodified Below is the x15 drawing Below is same plan pulled into x16

Any update on this? I see the problem with new plans on dimensions that won't fit on the string (usually less than 2'). I also see the dimensions moved up off the string on plans pulled from previous versions where I manually shifted the dimension text away from center.

I just recently have been noticing this soffit issue. I don't know what is causing it. I haven't had any trouble with it before. Sometimes it will show like the picture on the left, other times it will delete the fascia below the soffit line (pic on right). Sometimes, it is not consistent on each side of a reverse dormer. One roof plane will be fine and the other the soffit sticks through. I don't know if it is the eave cut that is the culprit. I haven't had the issue before though. Plan attached. Soffit Issue.plan

Still haven't figured out the trigger for this problem. But I did learn about this great tool, thank you! However, I did realize when using this to "select all similar" that the bay window area shows as a room even though I can't select it as such with the tab key. Maybe this is what is causing the issue? Not sure who to tag from Chief to suggest as the potential issue or if I have to fill out a new support ticket.

Would changing it to an interior door in the "include in schedule as" work for your situation?

On a PC, I can do it by holding the shift key and pressing enter to create a new line.

Just today I started a new plan in X15 and the room labels are disappearing again! This plan has a box window. These window types (Box, Bow, Bay) must be what is causing the room label issue somehow.

I briefly looked at using saved plan views, but I already use the active default sets drop down as my different plan views. It only takes one second to get to the floor I want with hotkeys - and then I don't need the project browser open all the time. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see the advantage.

Thanks, that is another way of fixing the issue. I was hoping there was another solution that would reflect actual framing. Most of the time I rejoin the roof planes to get rid of the main roof below the over-framed gable portion and that seems to fix it as well. But then I have to manually adjust the framing to show it accurately for the framing plan.

I often have a similar problem with the valley protruding through the ceiling. I'm not sure why it does it or how to fix it. I have tried re-joining the roof planes. I want it to frame the main roof to the flat ceiling and the dormer to be built on the main roof deck, but to get it to frame that way it protrudes through my ceiling. I have attached the plan file.Interior Valley.plan

I was having a problem with a gap showing in the perspectives where the sill plate should be. I had to change my wall types to make sure the framing box was checked on the main framing layer of the wall type. Maybe that is the issue you are having?

Anyone with this room label issue have any bay or bow windows in their plans. I just realized both of the plans I have this problem with, have bay windows. Not sure if it has anything to do with it, just trying to come up with some correlation so I can send a bug report.
