Thanks for sharing!

Is that Mango Tree near the pool?

Thanks Rob

I have text position set to "Center on Dim Line". When the text does not fit where is the setting for that offset?

In elevation use the rotate function Else select the receptacle & open the Symbol Dialog

I don't have it ether but you can rotate then in elevation view or in plan view select & use the Open Symbol and rotate on the Y axis

Nice job, did you build the bar joist or is that modified Chief Truss?

Not Florida for sure, Austin Texas.

Thanks Rob for the info

Current project has a detached garage and a sloped site. The owner wants to raise the main house by 12". Currently the main house first floor is at zero. Should I lower the site & garage by 1 foot? I have had trouble moving the house vertically in the past as some objects are tied to absolute elevation. Are there any tricks to change all the site & elevation lines down one foot?

I turned the walls to visible, in 3D I pulled the wall top down, turned them invisible again & rebuilt the rafters via roof DBX.

What I have been doing is a plan file for each unique unit. Once the shell, interior walls & basic cabinets are done I create a combined plan file for building plan view & building elevations. Then I flush out the separate unit plans with electrical, plumbing, framing. The gotcha is if you need to change the exterior at all, it becomes a tedious job.

That;s a nice little nugget. Thanks

Thanks Michael, great detective work. I see the border set at 30 which is what I want for borders. But why is the leader using that number?

Thanks for looking at this. This plan file creates leaders at 30 with the line weight default unchecked. I have opened the leaders & checked default to get them to default line weight. Leaders I create come in at 30 with default unchecked. I can't figure out why. If you create a new leader is the default line weight checked?

I Know How To Fix It, I want to know why it was created at an override line weight of 30?

I have a plan attached that when I draw a leader Rich text the leader has an override line weight of 30. Can anyone tell me where the 30 line weight setting is coming from? Untitled 1.zip

No Gene, this is an infill lot, 5th Av. S. St Petersburg.

Here is the slabs added with 1/2" overhang. Not sure if that is the finished look yet. For form & pour it may be easier to flush up the slab, no overhang, just stucco. Although I like the look of the overhang.

Oh, so it was the entry spanning the rooms above that cause the error. The CC edge has always been an issue on porches. I just add a p-Solid for the edge display. Haven't found a way around this. Thanks for your time

Can anyone tell me why the balcony floor shows a concrete edge over the entry room & not the side rooms? 18 mb file https://www.dropbox.com/s/fk7li1etj0u1yxp/Lou-1.zip?dl=0

Messing about with this line type creator & thought I would share & see if it worked for anyone else. The DOT may be a bit large but give it a try. Wire Mesh LT.calibz

I found the answer here:

I usually draw the fine details in autocad but today I thought I'd try to in Chief. It appears the Chief can not manage extra small dashes in line types. Or maybe I've missed a Linetype scale setting some where.

Great suggestion, Thanks
