it seems to me that temporary dimensions are used differently than all other dimension types and should work dynamically with the zoom level. That way they would always be readable regardless of screen size.

How can I change the size of the text and arrows in temporary dimensions. When doing details I need to measure small differences in locations, and the text is way to big to read and the arrows are monsterous

To add to those woes. some jurisditions will not allow a document to be "locked" so that they can add examiner's comments.

Hey Coop! Wow, I spent a few hours trying to figure that out myself and did not notice that. Well done and to gold stars!!!

The left handrail should work but the right handrail can be done with a 3d moulding polyline, but not as an automaticly generated feature.

Ed the good thing about that plan is will keep the snow from falling on people walking by. Just saying...

This might be the answer to your quirky backsplash behavior

Hi Perry, I am on the waiting list for this as well.

Sounds like you should contact support right away!

No, I didn't

I have just purchased an iMapper system. I currently use a Matterport Pro 2 camera, but lately the floor plans being issued are way out of whack. The iMapper is a lidar system that is accurate to 2mm over 30m. I will let you all know how this works out my asbuilt work. https://www.imapper.tech/

That can be done, but it has the disadvantage of using the defaults of the plan file that one is pasting to. So if rooms from the copied plan has different floor heights, the and the pasted building is using default room heights, then the pasted building inherits the native heights.

so far as merging two plan files, I don't think so, but you can have two plan files merged using reference layers in a layout file.

Please post the plan file. Export an unconnected plan file if you are using managed projects. Make sure to close the file prior to trying to post it if you are using unmanaged projects.

Hi Rene, I think most of us ignored the comment about what you do, as a user of your proplan, I knew that the comment was incorrect, but that was not so germain to what is the standard. Keep up the great work that you do and so many colleagues in this forum apprectiate the contributions that you do.

Depending on the size of the drawing sheet, having the title boxes on the right side of the drawing running vertically allows the most drawing area. It seems to be an informal norm for most architectural, structural, mechanical, and electrical drawings. Just my experience anyway.

Thanks for the comments. This is an as built drawing, so the brick ledge is required in the sections that will have to be included in the renovations for damp proofing the basement as well as the details of the furred basement walls and insulation. One problem that I have to solve with this project is a wet basement. The wall can be fixed by manually adjustments, but it just seems strange that it happens at all.

How does it integrate with Chief Architect? I am very interested and currently use Matterport Pro 2 camera.

Me too.

Put the plan file in a dropbox, or on Onedrive, and post a link to the file.

Next question, have you created a copy of the wall type being used in the plan? Hopefully, it is the copy that you are trying to modify. Also, it would be helpful for you to post a copy of the plan file.

This was just playing with making an upper an lower segment roof with different pitches for each segment, a really steep slope on the lower roof, and then curving the lower section. Seemed to work.

I think you make an excellent point Jim. Perhaps you should make this case in the suggestions part of the forum.
