I did not have a problem with getting those dimensions on your plan with End to End. The initial snap of the dimension line goes to the edge and then I need to adjust the dimension to the center. Small hassle to move them but not very time consuming. Make sure this snap is turned on.

I don't want to be a tool but to reiterate what Joey "alluded to", a reflected ceiling plan is done by drafting. We get a nice guide to start us off and then we draw a bunch of lines and circles and stuff until the drawing begins to not suck and tell the story. Happy Friday.

David, you would be wise to get Terry Munson's book http://www.amazon.com/Residential-Design-Using-Chief-Architect/dp/0692498699 and watch this video series: https://video.chiefa...ch=Breckenridge Good basic training on how to get rolling with this software

Dude, we are in California. A simple bath remodel does equate to a simple set of drawings in order to get a permit. I got your message and will try and call tomorrow. For most jurisdictions in Monterey County I have a first page that is just project information, a vicinity map, scope of work, index, contact information, and code notes. Now I have one page fully dedicated to BMP's (required) and Green Building mandatory minimums (required). Monterey county is requiring a page of notes and a site plan dedicated to construction management (where is the material lay down, job site toilet, trash dumpster, truck parking....).

Next you will need to learn how to post the plan. In there your answer lies.

Thanks for the info Ryan.

If I was sending Vector views that would be true but I am sending WaterColor views. My section view layerset has Walls, Normal at 55.

Thanks Joey, your suggestion did alter my grade line but the edge lines of the elevations are unchanged. LEH Viz DD v2 FULL SIZE COLOR TEST wc lines ca pdf save.pdf

If anyone is bored and wants to experiment.... I am doing a test of the live elevations and line weights. See the attached pdf comparison to a screen shot. What I am trying to do is punch up the elevation lines on color elevations without cad lines. The elevations are set to watercolor and I removed the pattern lines from the shingles so it does not overwhelm the view. The problem is that when printed to pdf with either the CA save as pdf or a 3rd party pdf driver I am not getting any line weight variation.

I sometimes need to draw a cad line that is long enough to be in a clear area. This seems to help the program understand what object I am intending to reflect about.

Roofs build on top of walls. Build some walls then build the roof.

Strange but I can get point to point dimensions to work but none others.

This plan is in V X8 public beta. I am trying to dimension in a section view. I am getting an error that won't let me proceed. Has anyone else seen this type of behavior? This is a plan that was probably started in X6 so it has come forward a few versions. I tried in both a new camera and some of the saved cameras.

Did you reboot after the changes?

Nice sink. Well done Michael.

Zoom in a little tighter and hover about the point you want to snap to.

None. The most seamless yet.

Check the Acme Company website for a downloadable symbol. Beep, Beep.......

You lose the dimension line in the string. The nice part is that the adjacent lines will still maintain their alignment if you adjust the offset. When I am working on dimensions that I need to "hack" I will make a very small cad line and move the dimension to that line. Then click on the line and type in the dimension that you want.

Thanks. Unfortunately, I went for the public beta upgrade and my digital locker is empty.

What is this mode and how do I get out of it. X8 non public beta version. I have not had time to upgrade to public but this might be the reason. I see this when I click to draw a line. When I click on the rotate icon I am getting a protractor type circle.

He used a floor camera?

Thanks for the reminder Nicinus. I thought the last day was Jan 1. Today is the final day to renew SSA at $449. Tomorrow it moves up to $499. On the phone with sales now to renew.
