Thanks Michael and perhaps you're right but I think a Clipped View>Clip Elevation should be 'Clipped' and limited to the data inside the clipped box and NOT send "everything that's being displayed in your view" as if the clipped box has no real relevance as to the data/info being sent to Layout. One man's opinion and easy to deal with once the behavior is understood.

Which makes me wonder why the 'feature' is even included for elevations as it will send all of the data that's on the page pretty much no matter whether or not the 'Clip Elevation' box is checked or not and no matter where the clipped lines are located. I don't think this is intended behavior. I would like to see the clipped lines box be honored and send only the info in that box to Layout. I sent it in to tech.

Figured it out. There's a conflict between the Clipped View and Send Options>Entire Plan/View. When sending Entire Plan/View it sends all of the items in the view whether inside the clipped box or not.

It seems I have all the settings correct and also works when 'clipped to room' is selected but the Elevations don't seem to 'clip' as expected. Any help greatly appreciated.

Looks like this is addressed in the newest update. Thanks Chief. 2.19 3D Views • Fixed an issue that could cause elevation views to be extremely zoomed in when opened from layout.

Also curious, what's the purpose of the "Clip Elevation" setting if not intended to send that 'clipped' view to Layout?

Thank Michael, apologies for the late reply, been out of town. I think I see the setting you are referring to but can't seem to get what I'm looking for? Missing something as usual? or is what I'm asking for not doable at this stage in X15? Thanks

I know there's few new Layout Box features but was wondering if there's way to send an elevation to Layout 'clipped' to the elevation clip lines? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zQpeWuposQ

Thanks Joe, been working on this all morning with no solution worth the effort. I'll make sure the dims are close and the printed dims are overridden to show the proper dimensions.

Maybe I should just get them close and over ride the dims for the plans? Has to be a way!

It should but...

Hey Mark, I really want to thank you but I have no idea what resize about interior surface means or how it might work?

Or better yet, how to draw ONE 5 ft. wall? If I draw a wall and hit the tab key, enter 60" the wall ends up at 5' - 2"? Not getting something.

Yeah I know, lamest question ever but if I can't seem to get (3) 5 ft. long walls at 45 degree angles. Oh and I'd like the walls to be measured from the outside not the inside.

That worked a treat Joe!! Thanks

I'll try that too Joe, Thanks

Interesting....Thanks

DOH - Thanks again!!!

Thanks Tea Time but the faux beams will run perp. to the beams you've shown.

Looks like Soffits will work great as they follow the roof. Is there a way to change the line style from the default dashed line?

Thanks Joe, these 'beams' will be faux beams that will occur below the roof framing and T & G ceiling surface. Can't see how to use a rafter?

Thanks Chop.

For a faux beam look, or is it a P-Solid job instead?

Thanks DB, could have sworn I tried that - too easy and thanks for the help.

In plan view there's "Snap Unit" which I have set to 1/16" to move for very small adjustments. Is there a similar setting in Layout to reposition layout boxes? It seems to be set on approx. 1" and don't know how to change that setting. THANKS
