Have you looked at this thread? https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/20-time-to-show-your-goodies/

Great, thank for the reply.

How do you folks manage the display in plan view of the cook top & hood? Thought I saw a topic on this but can't find it. The hood covers the cook top & you can't see any of the burners. I often use a cabinet to house the hood & can manage transparency of the cabinet but not the hood.
-
Thanks for the tip. I'll try to remember it.
-
Update, Had to leave so I closed CA & when reopened the plan the PDF was behaving normally. Go figure.
-
Oh sorry I forgot it was not embedded in the file. PDF added to post above

With 8x the PDF import is not transparent especially after 'point to point resize. I can not find how to lighten up the PDF. Simmons.zip Concept drawings 5.24.16.pdf

OK Plan Fixed. Thank guys.

Oh thanks fellas! I nee to look up once in while.

Looks like the Weird line is associated with a Invisible wall i used to create the Lanai. Not sure how to get rid of it though.
-
See attache PLAN. The line can not be selected. What is it. Also i have a poly solid making the Pool Deck that has crossing vertex which I can not locate. I do appreciate your time to look at his. Thanks Simmons.zip

New day & fresh eyes. Took some tweaking but I got it. The narrow wall, no drywall & 2.5" width made the plan view more realistic. I had the change all the walls forming the "Open Below" to the narrow Fence type to get the corners to form properly. Also the end walls with door openings to suppress the railing at top & bottom of the stair run need to be set to Cable Railing too to get the connections to form properly.
-
See attached plan. See camera S24 Issue one is the plan view of the railing. Should I create a railing wall with no drywall & a 3" core to get the plan view to look like a railing? Issue two is where the stair on 2nd floor meets the Open Below. See S24. The railing on the stair needs to follow the stair all the way to the toe of the bottom tread. Then the level railing should start near that point. I need to run some errands but will return in 2 or 3 hours so I will be silent until then. Thanks in advance. MacDill RH-Unit A.zip

Wow the price is right. Problem is I have a ton of LISP routines I use daily & my hobby is lisp programing. You need to get the pro version $1,250 to run lisp as I read here. http://worldcadaccess.typepad.com/blog/2012/04/a-user-reviews-draftsight-the-free-and-pro-versions.html BricsCAD is still top of my list so far at $550

Has anyone used BricsCAD? https://www.bricsys.com/ I was considering replacing my 2006 AutoCAD with BricsCAD but will look into ArchiCAD now that I have read this thread.

Michael I must say you are quite a talented user of this software.

The Plain Text with grid on works OK once you get it figured out. I do use blank layouts on occasion but for 10 sheets the text table is easier for me to manage. Just edit it on one sheet.
-
OK Thanks Alan, that helps. Playing with plain text I was able to create a text object & align the vertical lines to match the Index. This was the way to go only I could not conquer the Text table elements, Now I have a better understanding. SO I no longer need the cobbled table I created.
-
I build an extension to the table of contents on a plan to accommodate sheets I do not generate. The horizontal likes need to be quite accurate to fall between the new text. I measure but at 3/16 the rounding chief does at that small a measure is off. In Autocad I just Pick the measurement which is quite accurate. I doubt Chief will add this feature to its dialog boxes as not enough people are asking for it. So what is the best way to get the accurate measurement? Is there a better way to do this?
-
That's it. Thanks Joe.....
-
Thanks Joe but not working in the text, works in the label.
-
If I change the Text Macro to Referenced Object it works in the text but not in the Label.
-
I created a Roof Surface macro that works in the Roof label but not in a text object. See plan attached. What am I doing wrong? Roof Macro.plan

I AGREE. Simply providing a way to move the coordinates of the area hatch would be a quick solution. As long as you can create a 2'x4' hatch.
