Prefs for select walls before room (image one) You need to adjust the color of the grout lines for your brick. They are most likely currently white mortar lines. When you send an elevation in vector view you are losing the color (red) for the brick and only showing the grout lines in white which are disappearing in your white background. (Image 2)

Did you use the material painter tool on that wall? Check the materials for the wall in the DBX.

If you have not figured this out by tomorrow morning, PM me at alan@lehmandesignstudio.com and I will walk you through it with a quick (I can set you straight in about 2 minutes) online meeting.

Draw the pyramid in plan view. Shoot an elevation view and rotate.

The particular line you want to set is object specific in nature. If you want this you will need to save out some cameras to your template plan file. But, if it is the wall elevation camera, no go as you can not copy and paste cameras.

Select the camera in plan view and open the object DBX.

I am not having that with either Line Drawing or Watercolor with Line drawing. Just to let you know. Therefore, I don't think it is the update unless it is something that changed in your defaults with the update that cleared a setting that was getting your system to work previously.

Susan, you can not send a layout file without the .plan files. In order to share a full layout, make a new folder "Sulpher full back up" and then go to file-> back up entire plan. This will make a monster file with all the associated layouts. Then you will most likely need to upload that to a drop box folder or similar.

If you are in a camera move mode and click drag with the mouse this will always happen. Is this happening just by moving the cursor?

What codec are you using?

Look for Beade Insert.... in a folder

Although there are often several good or bad ways to do most things, I think in this instance the majority of the people with a lot of time using CA are doing it the same. Have a sheet of details make that a distinct plan that is sent to layout on it's own. Less weight in the main plan file and easy to use on the next project with modifications since some of those details will be standard details (ie: hand rail grab section...) If you only have one or two details to add to a page do that directly from your library to your plan file. I sometimes just place that detail off screen of the plan view.

What is the door configuration? Is it one pair and one single on the left? At least for the pair you can make one door not swing in the DBX. I have not done this but if the other fixed door was a symbol could it be set up so it does not have swing indicators?

You did not attach the file. Look closely at the upload dealybob. First you swing your partner round and round, then you dod si doe.

The layer to look for is "Roof Planes". Which camera did you select? Are you using the floor overview? Floor overview excludes the roof.

See my post in this thread and upload that plan file: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/4609-cant-see-roof-in-3d/

Attach your plan file. It is difficult to say what your issue is without seeing your plan. Or, are you displaying the Roof Planes layer? When you go to attach your plan, close the file in CA before attaching. Also, after you browse for the file it is not yet uploaded. The actual upload requires a second button that will be apparent after you see the dialogue button. In the post options to the right and below where I am now typing you will see "More Reply Options". You want more.

If you do not make the railing area an actual room you can cheat the railing height by adjusting the bottom and top in the railing defs. See attached plan Bash rev1.zip

Agreed. I would also be great to be able to assign a rotation axis and alignment for the cad blocks to help rotation snapping.

I draw a cad line arrow and place some text.

There are contractors nearby who just do framing. I had gotten a bid from a guy a few years ago out of Santa Cruz. He was bidding jobs in Carmel and The Santa Lucia Preserve so Pleasanton is not far away. Most framing contractors will do the concrete and framing. This is a good way to go since the framing being straight and square is dependent on the foundation being the straight and square. The problem I have found with hiring carpenters as opposed to hiring a contractor with a good crew is that once an individual reaches a certain level of knowledge they often branch out on their own. Therefore, if you hire a guy who is not a contractor or not actively working for a contractor you are rolling the dice. Many General Contractors will be happy to work with you as a sub or consultant. I have not done work in Pleasanton but I was helping my brother with a project in San Mateo and got this list of local contractors with great recommendations: Rick Guinon 650-556-9518 Larry Kayle 650-318-0211 Patrick McEvoy 415-999-1432 Ron Collosi 650-594-9442 ron@summitltd.com Summit Construction www.summitltd.com

Only the vector view can be sent at scale. If you have any of the rendering styles visible you will be sending an image. You can get your image scaled just right if that is what you are trying to do. Here is the workflow: 1. Set you camera so that you can see all of the "image" / elevation view (now don't move your camera for a bit). 2. Send the vector view and choose the send option in the layout DBX "Current Screen". 3. In layout show the layer "Layout Box Border". This will make the next step easier 4. Back in the plan file, change to your desired rendered view option. 5. Send to layout (the options have disappeared ) but this will be good. 6. In layout, resize the image by snapping the corners of the image layout box to the vector view image box. You now have your rendered elevation at scale.
