My good man there is nothing to apologize for, I appreciate you trying to help. I'm sure with enough time (like most thing's with chief)  I will stumble across the solution...its just a matter of how many times my head makes contact with the wall before that occurs! 

Its strange because I can change other things like contour colors, display post options and it will restrict it to just that layer set but the roofs, deck and driveway shading carries through the whole set..

x11, yep good idea I will update that now

Thanks for the reply. The 'color by layer' thing is selected and the 'modify all layer sets' is not selected but it is still occurring, just checked and now it has updated my layout pages as well.

Hi All

I am trying to figure out how to confine a layer style to 1 layer set for e.g.

I want to create a layer set showing the impermeable surfaces of my development on the lot.

So I create a new layer set called impermeable surfaces.

I shade and fill the roofs, driveways etc... I do that fine, but then it changes the way they look in all the layer sets...

If I remove cabinets etc, by un-checking them in the active layer display it confines that change to just that layer set, but when I change how they look it applies it to all the layer sets.

TIA for any help.

Great, figured it out. Thanks v-much for the help.

Hi All

I have a Plot with 2 separate buildings on it House & Garage/Studio. They sit at different elevation heights on the terrain. I have designed the Garage/Studio and now that I am trying to design the house at a different elevation height the walls just float in the air. I can build a slab and that drops onto the elevation region fine but the walls still float. 

I am pretty sure they are being built at the original height of the first structure but Ill be damned if I can find how to change them.

If I go into the terrain specification box and change the sub-floor height above terrain it sinks the first structure into the terrain.
