Hi Westvale, Try looking at your "Dimensions, Plan" layer text style. Probably set to 1/4" text style. If you change to 1" text style while you need it and then change back to 1/4" text style.
-
I have seen this in the past, I delete and resend the view. That usually fixed it.
-
Look at the drawing sheet setup and see what the line weight setting is.
-
I would consider using the landing tool, you can set the height, thickness, shape it, railing on/off individual sides as needed. hth

Hi Garreth, I think you can change the text style for the schedules by the layer (look in Active Layer Display Options) under schedules and change to 1/4" or 1/2" text style) or the individual schedules to use a custom size under the main title on the left of the dbx.

The picture on close inspection is a cable railing with 2x4's set inside of the cables. I would suggest using the cable railing panels in the library and make the 2x4's in a cross section out of 3d solids as you first mention. Then block them and move into position in plan view.

Decor: what's best practice for painting interior walls
MPDesign replied to GeneDavis's topic in General Q & A
In your default wall type. I like to add a 0" thick layer inside the drywall, set to the paint color of your choice. I think it should report as square feet in a material list. and other ways I'm sure -
Well it took a while to find the problem. The model took 5+ minutes to render on my tower also. With only 360,000 surfaces once it generated the view. I started with looking for big symbols from imported objects. Then deleted all furniture, cabinets, fixtures, material regions. etc. I think I found the culprit, the layers in the picture have cad blocks and hidden pdf files in the plan. I marquee select the items on each floor and deleted. Once I deleted these items the 3d camera works as it should. It also reduced the plan file size by 30meg.

see if your elevation camera is set to clip to sides.

Is this happening on all x15 plans? a new x16 plan? how large is your plan file? send a pm if you want more help with trouble shooting.

Hi David, You mention a 3d dwg export. Are you trying to update a 3d symbol? or You might want to try the export as STL file, this will make a 3d symbol of the plan. Open a 3d view in chief and look under File, Export, Export 3d model (STL) Also which version of chief are you using? HTH, cheers
-
Thank you Brett! I try and keep the solutions within the tools at our disposal. The nice part about this method is you can add multiple trim boards as desired.
-
Hi Jim, I thought about this and tested my theory in X16, it should be the same in previous versions as well. I would suggest that you turn off the fascia and use the shadow board feature as a fascia. The shadow board has the ability to be turned off per roof edge.
-
We would need to see your settings for the doorway to make sure of an appropriate course of action. Also, what chief version are you using?

Try extending the back clip thru (passed) the end of the solid objects.
