DOH...didn't see the separate newel height dbx. Fixed. THANKS

Sorry for the poor description but I'd like to extend the newel posts above the railing about 6 inches. Bottom offset seems to only effect bottoms with a negative value having no effect.

Been searching for a while and want to raise the newels on a deck railing. Can it be done? THANKS

Thanks P and am planning to keep my SSA up to date.

Found it, I imported the mysteriously disappeared tool bar configuration from my X16 docs file and then turned on tool bars which had somehow mysteriously been turned off. Weird.

Thanks DB and Yes will probably use X17 in legacy mode when I complete a couple jobs started in Project management mode and decide to use it full time and the 'new features' in X17 are in no way a compelling reason for me to use X17. My business requires very little Ray Tracing use overall as the standard views serve my purposes in most cases (and the YouTube Videos I produce for my clients) and the very occasional need that I have for a Ray Trace the CPU Ray Trace, which doesn't take hours for an image, works just fine for my business. I also have an older system and monitors that may or may not be compatible with a new graphics card and I can't justify the cost and complexity for something I really don't need.

I've read a bunch of threads regarding lost tool bars but haven't fallen victim until now. All configurations are gone as in pic. Need help! THANK YOU!

This is a bit of public service announcement for those didn't know this. Came as a surprise to me as I don't have (nor need) a GPU Ray Tracing capable graphics card and use CPU RT when needed card but may be in a very small minority. Curious how many rely on their CPU to Ray Trace instead of a GPU capable card?

Did not know this. I don't have GPU Ray Tracing and don't need it for my business. I have X17 and my SSA is due this month but have been using X16 because I just don't like the 'feel' of X17 and the project management tools. I know I can use the legacy tools in X17 but still more comfortable using X16 and the deletion of the CPU raytracing tool will ensure I stick with X16 for a while longer as it has all the tools I need.

Yeah thanks, ended up doing the same.

THANK YOU!!! But I see it only affects the elevation portion behind and not the portion in front. No worries I'll figure some thing out.

There's a feature in X16 where you can 'gray out' front portions of an elevation but I can't remember what it's called or where it is. Don't even know how to phrase the question so hope the question is clear enough. Thank You in Advance.

Interesting, not using 17 that much but will explore.

THANK YOU!!!

I've got a PDF plan that I am annotating in Layout and there seems to be a default arrow style that's spec'd somewhere I can't locate. In plan the Active Defaults include an 'Arrow' field. See pics below. In layout the Active defaults don't have an 'Arrow' field but there's an arrow that shows up with text anyway. In Layout with every arrow added to text I have to select the arrow and change it's properties and the reason I'm posting this is because there's a LOT of arrows. The pic below shows both Active Default dbx and the arrow that is on by default in Layout. Is there a way to change that arrow property in Layout? THANKS
