Also on the inside. I believe the way around this is to make each unit with their arches and then mull them, but it would be nice to just mull and add the arch and it would work. Here is the same thing Gene is showing... I typically tell my client it is just the software and move on. I do not have time to fix this.

I wanted to give an update on Michaels Subscription. There is a lot of info about Macros that Michael teaches which I would like to get into sometime, but he also includes a lot of little "tidbits", advanced symbol manipulation (very cool) and many other things I just never knew about. Includes a number of How To videos as well. I started with Chief with X12 and I do very well, designing more than 120 new and remodel plans each year. And yet I continue to find these little gems that help me fine tune and speed up my process. One of the things I wanted for a long time, and now with X16, you can set up an Area Schedule without Macros. Michael shows some examples of how to do this. I have since added some new room names and again dialing in these things that just make my plans look more professional. This alone was more than worth the subscription fee. I have a number of these Schedules setup for different structures in a CAD Detail... And my Layout looks at this CAD Detail, and then I can pan to the one I want to use depending on the structure. (If you know of others ways to do this, please post those ideas in the Tips & Techniques forum. This forum is for Michaels Email Subscription. Thank you)

Yes, that is a very nice tool, thank you for sharing

Hi Mark. Not sure if you noticed, but this posted back in 2018. I added the link above to a suggestion I am pushing. Would love to have you leave a comment and give me a thumbs up. Thank you for taking some time to show the work-around and prove my point that we need something to address this.

Yes, my picture was about 6 years old I think and 20 Lbs lighter. I love this one with my granddaughter. Yes, it has been super cold here for a number of days. If you are in the area again, reach out to me, I would love if you would stop by.

What is also nice about this method is that you can go to a specific floor and delete only the framing on that floor. I use that at times for my attic if I just want to keep that clean in a section

Please give an Upvote in the new suggestion..

Very nice Rendering! Super amazing detail work!!

You can open up the wall and go to Roof and uncheck the Frieze boards. Or, open up the roof and locate the Frieze Boards

In Plot Lines mode you can override the plan defaults to get a lighter, cleaner look

Here is a plan that is Plot Lines for the cameras... 2.90MB https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y8E1y-Ax2S0aU5GFfY-Dsd-eeIemornC/view?usp=sharing Here is a plan that is Live View for the cameras...13.3MB Ouch! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NFdZOBurvXsrW0PaUFl1le38m2WZkOh_/view?usp=sharing The size of the camera view window plays a big role in the PDF file size. I reduced the size of the windows to be close to the house and the file size went down to 5.11MB from 13.3MB I typically like my files to be less than 15MB, but surely less than 25MB so I can send them in gmail. This is an example of how I will use the 3D Cameras. This plan is shown with images in Technical Illustration. 42N2246 Kelly and April Lappinga.pdf

What I have learned is that you can set your camera into plot mode once it is connected to your layout. You also need to turn off Shadows. OR, you can set your camera in live mode and keep your shadows on. But live mode will make the layout file much larger. Now when I add my layout to my drawing file it connects the 4 cameras I have set up in Plot Line mode and I need to refresh the views when I make changes to my elevations. But I no longer need to open a new camera and select my view and copy and paste in image over and over.
