I use 24x36 PDFs out of Chief Architect exclusively and have never had an issue. You mentioned that the PDF was too large to email, what is the PDF file size?

Maybe in newer versions of CA, but not in X11.

Like this?

Thanks for your reply! I had deleted some elevations on layout page 8, deleted the cross sections and recreated the elevations I had on page 8. Little did I know that the original elevations on page 8 also had a copy of them on a "scratch" page 19, therefore the update error. I deleted the elevations on page 19 and problem solved!

X11, anyone have a solution for this? c:\p4sync\dev\releases\21\chief\source\layoutview.cpp(657): Warning #272032582 "One or more of the views on the layout could not be updated because the original saved camera could not be found." 1/30/2025 11:13:50 PM Build: 21.3.1.1x64

Try this: In the attic Wall Specification, Structure, Platform Intersections, check the box "Stop at Ceiling Above".

If I understand you correctly - yes, no reason to change it, I leave my layout paper size to ARCHD for print shop 24x36 construction set drawings. I print it out to PDF as ARCHD. Then when printing in my office, the ARCD size PDF prints scaled nicely to an 8.5"x 11" printer paper. Hope this helps.

FWIW, in the past I could not see the dishwasher "cabinet" in a material list or cabinet schedule until I realized this from a post of mine in 2020:

I'm using X11 on Windows 11 and don't have the experience you describe. Long shot here as well, but before "click, click, click" changing anything, my first line of attack for any unusual behavior would be to close all programs and "restart" Windows and then see if you can reproduce the issue. Please post your solution.

My CA version X11 works just fine.

Is this a CA error? Regardless, close CA, rename the PDF file to old standard 11 character (8.3) format filename and try again.

Hammer7, I think you need some breathing room! A two year old PC should be able to accommodate PCIe M.2 2280 NVMe SSD. I added one to my six year old PC and it made a world of difference. What are the specs on your processor? (your signature says only I9) How much RAM, etc.? Here's a possible economical solution: https://a.co/d/5QzMj8w

Plan views are very powerful! Please see these videos here: Search | Chief Architect And this article: Understanding Saved Plan Views (chiefarchitect.com)

I just put this rig into service from the Dell Outlet, good price. Get a salesman to chat with you, they'll negotiate.

It was from the Dell Outlet as well.
