I just put this rig into service from the Dell Outlet, good price. Get a salesman to chat with you, they'll negotiate. Dell XPS 8960 32GB (1X32GB) Up to 5600MHz DDR5 UDIMM Non-ECC 2 -1TB PCIe M.2 NVMe Gen 4 Class 40 SSD NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 12GB GDDR6X (FWIW, to me, the Ti is not worth the price increase for just a bit more performance) 750W L6 Chassis without Optical Drive (Platinum) Core 14th Generation i7-14700 Processor (20 Core, Up to 5.40GHz, 33MB Cache, 65W) Windows 11 Pro Very pleased so far from my previous computer of about 8 years of use. It was from the Dell Outlet as well.

It was from the Dell Outlet as well. Seems it was somewhat similar to yours, see my old specs below.

I just fired up a new Windows 11 pc and for some reason I can't find where the setting is in Edge to almost eliminate the right and left margins of the ChiefTalk page. When I first launched Edge, the ChiefTalk page was almost edge to edge. Now, I can't get it back that way even by resetting everything to default. Maybe a Windows 11 setting somewhere?

Suggestion: Create your keyhole shape with CAD shapes with a circle in the center. Select the keyhole shape and convert it to a slab. Then convert the inner circle to a slab, then select it to set it as a hole in slab - no seam.

Text and callouts can be set to "Rotate with Plan" or not.

Fantastic! All this time, I did not know this!!!!

I had a very similar experience! It was a two story plan and I could not change ceiling heights in some of the lower rooms below because the upper floor had varying ceilings heights (like your video shows.) I don't know if this will help in your case, but try setting all the rooms rough ceiling heights to 97-1/8". Also be sure to check the double walled areas that may create a room.

That is just awesome! Which PC was it done on?

Thank you for your response! You confirmed what I had figured out by trial and error. I was making it really harder than it is. Yes, I had changed every floor joist setting that I could find in the Default Settings. I just could not get the "Framing, Floor Joists" color to change in the Perspective Framing Overview, even by changing just ONE room's Room Specification, Structure, Floor Structure settings. I then discovered that I could make the color finally change by changing the Room Specification, Structure, Floor Structure settings in ALL (or select key rooms) of the rooms on the second floor. So, to make sure I understood what I had discovered and with your explanation, I set all of the floor joist settings in the Default Settings back to their original settings. And I can now "toggle" the color on and off just by selecting all second level rooms and changing the Floor Structure Settings to change the color of the "Framing, Floor Joists" color to change in the Perspective Framing Overview. I love CA!

In X11, I can't seem to change the default Pattern, Texture color of the "Framing, Floor Joists" where the colored Floor Joists will appear in the Perspective Framing Overview. Auto framing is on. What could I be missing?

Great information. Thank you!

Thanks, With no second level, I discovered it must have been foundation related in that I deleted the foundation, rebuilt it and now there is no line in the reference display.

I noticed some red lines along the interior of an exterior wall in a plan layout. I open that plan view and when viewing the first floor, and then toggling reference display, the red lines appear only on two adjacent walls of the entire plan. The issue occurs in all plan views. I have deleted the two walls and then recreated new walls. The red lines stay in place with walls moved. Any ideas?

Many line types available.

Many ways to skin a cat.... I do this to manually archive my CA editing progress. 123_house_01.plan 123_house_01.layout - linked to 123_house_01.plan I copy both the above .plan file and the .layout file as follows: 123_house_02.plan 123_house_02.layout - linked to 123_house_01.plan I then open 123_house_02.layout and manually link it to 123_house_02.plan. Really, the only thing I need to do manually is link the new .layout file to the new .plan file. I have a Windows Powershell script to automate the copy of the files.
