Saving a french door to my catalog I wanted to change the Description. Can't seem to find where to change it.

Can't upload this plan. Is there a common cause of the wall/floor intersections? Using the wall layer intersection tool does not work, plus it usually messes up the framing if you use a 45 deg.

Both good suggestions. I have never tried the wide wipe-out line.

The Doctor is very interesting in the plan development and doesn't want to see the extra line in plan view om his multi million dollar house. As a surgeon his is very picky. Chief says the only way to make it go away is to have the balcony floor at the same height as the interior. That's not going to happen. Any clever ways to deal with this? I'm preparing to use a solid fill poly with invisible border.

I forgot about the browser update button. But as Eric said it should be a pointer that gets updated not a complete refresh of the preview image. Nothing in the Image changes just the pointer.

Yes I was dragging the sheets in the Project Browser. The "Update All Views" did not restore the previews in the Project Browser.. Thanks for your interest.

When I rearrange sheets in the layout set, dragging the sheets in the browser, the previews remain unchanged. This problem is resolved by closing the Layout file & reopening it. Is that normal behavior?

That was the recommendation from tech support until they fix it. Good advice from Michael, the squeaky wheel as they say.

Tech support confirmed the issue & turned it overt to software development to fix.

Ah Ha! So I forgot to add one more hanger & when I went back to get one more Chief refused. Will report this.

I use the ESC key = [Select Objects] Don't use the SPACE BAR

This is a weird one. If I select a lib item from the icon view, insert it, quit the command, I can not select it again from the icon. I'm sure the video will explain it better. I use the ESC key = [Select Objects] to cancel out of the place LIb command.

In plan view with wall framing displayed and using a north/south wall. Select a stud and the arrow key moves studs relative to the wall coordinate system & not the plan coordinate system. Now this would not be so aggravating IF when you select the stud a coordinate icon would appear letting the user know the coordinate system changed. Is that too much to ask?

Very cool 27/64 worked perfectly. I use Arial & Arial Narrow most of the time. Thanks Michael

Amazing coincidence. Vibs all the way from Alaska! I need a 5/4 for the drawing I'm working on & used BING to do web search.

Found this today, another source for fractions. https://lights0123.com/fractions/

Similar to Michael's, both good alternatives. Keeps the hold down under the column. Thanks

Oh that's a nice idea. Thanks

I think the offset base plate may do the trick. We'll see what the engineer has to say about it.

I did find this which is not a bad idea

This house has 2 spots that need columns that sit on a 10" wide concrete wall, (formed & poured) The 6" square steel columns don't allow much room for the base flange bolts & still have 1.5" cover on the steel. Looking at recessed bolts for this, see attached. But was looking for any other ideas you might have. Not looking to go with wood as it is exposed to the weather. (Austin Texas) That is a somewhat open hallway & open stair area.

Oh, I'll check that tomorrow.

In CAD I exploded blocks & then flattened the drawing, see attached. But because it's a two story the layers are not separated. You might be better off using a pdf. Or have then export one floor at a time (2 CAD files) 843903671_206Monarch-3DModel(3)AB.dwg

This what I see in CAD

I create the attached elevation lines with dimensions and block them so I can paste in all elevation views. But when blocked the dimensions disappear. I have to create them during a Block Edit. Is this normal behavior?
