  1. Thanks Mick,

    Kind of funky :-( Because it's an object made to be embedded (a double wall oven), it doesn't render correctly if I slide it into the cabinet opening.  Is displays at that back of the opening.  So in order to make it display correctly, I have to place it in front of the cabinet, which then it looks off in the plan.

    I think I'm going to convert the schedule to text, edit it in Word to add the missing info (since I don't see a way to edit in tabular format in Chief) and then paste-special back into the CAD detail.  I already tried this, the only thing is that I would have to do this every time I change one of my fixtures.

    Anyway, thank you for your suggestion.  It almost worked ;-)

  2. Hello,

    The Object Information (e.g., code, manufacturer, description, etc.) for cabinet-embedded fixtures do not display in the Fixture Schedule, even though the fixture itself is listed in the schedule.

    Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong and/or how I can get this info to display?

    As always, thank you for your kind responses.

  3. Hello Chiefs,

    I've created a custom layer set by copying the "Section View Layer" set and turning on display of fences.

    I then associate one of my cross section views with this custom layer set, save the active camera, send it to layout, and all is fine...Until I close the cross section and update the layout view again.  The cross section view always reverts to the basic section view layer set after I close it, and the association to my custom layer set is lost.

    What am I doing wrong?  How can I associate my cross section view permanently with my custom layer set?

    As always, any suggestions and help is greatly appreciated.

     

  4. Thank you both for your replies.

    I'm not at liberty to upload the plan, but my elevation data if very simple (no crossing lines) and the terrain is up-to-date.

    I didn't really understand Joey's reply or how to accomplish what he's suggesting.

    Again, thank you.

     

    P.S. I have a feeling that this is some configuration issue with the building itself, but I don't know what.

  5. Thanks Glenn.  I tried that before, but what I need is for the soffit on the gable wall's eave to remain parallel to the ground all the way back to the "High Shed" wall in the back.

    In my low-pitch roof, a fascia with top and bottom edges parallel to the ground, high enough to hide the entire slope of the roof plane, would make the roof look flat.

    Again, thanks.

  6. I have a low-pitch shed roof (1/4) with 36" eaves.  The soffit covering the eaves mirrors the roof plane, but I would like it to render parallel to the ground just like the flat ceiling inside the room does.  However, I don't see a way to do this.  Any ideas?

    I'm using CA V11

    Thanks for your help.
