Thanks for some clues, I will try the suggestions. Looks like %scale% and zoom are linked In the PLAN view Print size is set to ISO A4 Undo zoom Gives scale 123/128m = 500m, close but should be 1 ? as scale set to 1:500 However not always consistent 61/64m = 500m 25/32m = 500m etc Using Chief Architect Premier X13

Setting the label to "specified text" - %scale% gives a dynamic scale based on the screen image size not of the drawing image Is there a setting to fix this to actual scale, rather than these strange factions ? Scale of drawings set to 500m = 1m Are there any METRIC scale bars for 1:500 and 1:100 ? Thanks Mark

I think the problem is the CA (X13) is showing only the rain screen studding not the main wall studs Removing the rain screen then no external wall studding is displayed, internal wall studding is display OK However creating a new external wall type, the problem is solved, Had odd problems like this before, it appears that making changes does not always change everything and CA has some hidden settings

The outside wall appears to float, I would have expected the outside to sit on the flooring beams I expect there is an option to line these up,

Is there a way to copy the details in the e.g. Wall Type Definitions , so they can be added to a plan definitions ? Is the a way to highlight sections of floor/wall/roof joints etc to add say a bubble showing the details Thank Mark

The skylight is 114cm x 118cm and enlarging a standard size skylight causes the raised box. There are custom ceilings, floors and walls as this is an ECO bungalow, so 200mm of insulation in walls and roof. Thanks for your help Mark

I used the polyline method to create a hole in the roof and drop the skylight into the hole That works OK Thanks Mark

Adding a sky light to a hipped end roof 22.5 degree slop, the skylight appears as a box on top of the roof in the 3D Perspective overview. The Second floor (rather than attic as staircase needed) is in the roof with the ceiling being the roof. I rather not have to redraw the whole plan again to try and fix this error, Thanks Mark Version X11 & X12 on Windows 10
