Hi Robert, Thank you for your reply, I currently do my details in live cameras also. I think having a camera for each detailed area is the way to go. As far as labeling the callouts I agree it's manual. thank you Michael

Good morning, as the title states Does anybody have any ideas of the best way to get this accomplished currently in x11 or x12? My client has requested details made from a back clipped cross-section camera view. His first request as an example. There are a lot of these needed in our current large project!

Hi Dru, Try turning on, recessed to main layer or sheathing and see if that changes it. You may have to move the exterior foam layer to the exterior layer and then use recessed to exterior sheathing.

Hi Joe, I was printing from layout to chief pdf driver. also tried CutePDF. both the same output. I have discovered that if one uses another camera style say the technical illustration type it prints correctly. I have reported this to tech support.

Here is also the example of the vector view style. A-201-test-chiefpdf-1.pdf

I just experienced this problem with a watercolor view sent to layout jumps out of alignment with the vertical dimension lines set to floor levels It was not a problem with the vector view but when I changed it to watercolor it moves when printed to pdf. It looks correct in plan and layout and print preview but once printed it's out of place? I attached a copy of the result. My client wants to use this view type in the layout. The vector style is not showing the way he likes. He mentioned something about line hierarchy? I have not really heard about this before. This problem is in X11 A-201-chiefpdf-color-1.pdf

There is a tool to fix the intersection of the layers, when you select a wall in plan view look for this icon. then grab the end handles ( looks like a diamond) You will have to play around with it to get all the layers of all walls to connect properly. It doesn't always work the first time. keep trying, it will work.

+10 for the stairs! I can't remember how long we have waited for this anymore!

Hi J, Here is the Home designer forum link. https://hometalk.chiefarchitect.com/

And your solution was?

Hi Kevin, Your camera has to be in the same room as the lights for them to show-glow. If you start with the camera in the room then move/pan out to the required position it will still work.

Hello, Edit, snap settings, bumping and pushing. (keyboard shortcut F11)

Hello, Is object bumping and pushing turned on?

Hi David, I did a search for your question on the web and found out that Windows 10 has a feature called "Windows Ink Workspace" built right in! I do see your sig says you are still on Windows 8, is this correct? If so there is another option a small program called "Zoomit" There are several program options out there.

Hi Chad, Here is the place to turn off the railing half post at wall.

I would suggest that you delete the view and send it to layout again. have seen this in the past and it appears there is a double image.

Hi Rene I did read Brown Tigers reply and it sounded like a very professional inspection of whats going on. ( Thank you Brown Tiger!) My system was built 1-2012 so I will need to upgrade the whole thing in the near future. I have been watching your threads about ram disk and the nvme drives. I cant wait to get that newer hardware.

Thank you Graham, now I get it.

What I dont understand is why the p-solid stress plan is slower than snails with one object?

I agree with your statement Graham, I upgraded my gpu recently from a gtx960 4gig saw very little improvement. Was disappointed for the amount of money I spent. Also when I ran my test all I had open was task manager and fire fox window for email and the forum. Also Bit defender security software.
