do you have Color enabled in Layout? .......as your pics tell me No..... ie hit F8

Looks like Dermot maybe correct looking at pics , your Schedule is not set to Display Notes...only Custom perhaps ? M.

You have better eyes than me if you see a dentil in that pic....... Try a 3D Molding Line and a 3D Molding , check the Library.... Or make one to put on the line if needed.... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00840/creating-a-custom-dentil-molding.html https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00786/creating-and-using-symbol-moldings.html

Did you try Scaling the PDF instead? ie Print at 300% .......... = 25.5 x 33? .......so maybe you need try other % and then check the Scale..... not sure if it works in this case but I sometimes Print 11 x 17 Layouts (ANSI B or Tabloid) at 200% for a 22 x 34 (ANSI D) You won't make this mistake again , next time do it at 24 x 36 ( ARCH D) and do a 1/4 scale check Plot at the Office instead.... Mick.

PBR ( and the new PBR-RT or RTRT ) do not use the CPU , only the old style Raytracing ( Addon) is CPU based , in Preferences you can even set the number of cores for it to use, the New Lighting Engine is GPU based ( DirectX12U) and it is best to handled by the 3000 series, even more so than the 2000 Series. The pricing of 3000 Series cards is come down, not 100% sure you'll still find anything at MSRP though due to supply issues, so you could try the Card 1st in the current system but you are at the point of a new system so it is definitely a reason to think on a whole new system which includes a 3000 eg the system Mark has in his sig. above from AVA.

Topo Elevation Data is normally done in Decimal Feet to 2 decimal places , I am not sure why you are creating you own label though? CA should label it per the Elevation tab setting. (height) Do you have it setup to display in Decimal Feet? then set the Number style the same in the Elevation Data DBX ie Decimal feet bit more info on that part here : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00575/creating-a-plot-plan.html and perhaps this one : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00719/importing-terrain-elevation-data-from-a-dxf-or-dwg-file.html M.

Center > Point to Point ( A-B Tool) didn't work ? it's a handy tool , but not sure if it work in this case...

center tool > A-B Tool ? M.

Edit the Doors SPV , selected Defaults Copy/create a Doors Layerset, Cad Layer, Text, Dimensions, etc etc , then at the Top it will allow you to Make a Doors Annotation/Default Set so you have very specific Control of all Layers, more work but if you can't remember to Actively use and change the Active Defaults ,this is the best way..... so as not to get issues like currently You do need to remember to swap views of course this is mine, to start with just make a new default copied from the Original and change things as you go / need to I probably started with the Working Plan View and altered it accordingly

NO , that is correct but it sounds like either the Plan View is setup incorrectly ie did you duplicate the Electrical Plan View to make Door Plan view? and never Made a Door Dimension Default? or perhaps you changed the Dimension default manually at some point via Active Defaults ? and forgot to change it back when placing Dims on the Door Plan. M.

So it was just a Wall Definition Issue ? Mick.

If you drag the edges of the Box it will no longer honor the Auto Width and Auto Height Check boxes either. Personally I try to do as much Annotation in Plan or Elevation, not in the Layout itself, I tend to look at Layout " as a way to assemble a ConDoc PDF " Mick.

It appears to be a Wall Definition Issue with you New Walls and which Layer you have defined the Platform to Build too. Also remember to keep your Siding 8" off the Terrain by setting the Pony wall off floor HGT higher. would need to play more tomorrow if you still need help. Mick.

Without looking at your plan..... have you by chance set the Foundation to "Hang 1st Floor Platform Inside Foundation Walls"

If you Visit the Library you see the Pricing crossed out if you have SSA ( and are signed in ) If no SSA I imagine it work pretty much like it does for Home Designer Users , ( are you a HD User? or a Chief User?) however AFAIK the Libraries are only available/installable for the Version you have ie a X13 lib. not available in X11 won't work in X11. (*many current X13 Libraries are still from X12 I found out a few weeks ago but are slowly being updated.) As Eric said perhaps post in the Sales Forum and they will get back to you on Mon.

Not without the .plan file or at a minimum some screengrabs (pics....) but delete it and replacing it or copy another may work? .

Nice OOB thinking Mark.... M.

There was a mention on the Forum here by someone at Chief that AMD released a Driver to fix some Desktop GPU Issues with X13 but they were not aware as yet if AMD had updated the Laptop Drivers as well. M.

the XPS13 is known to overheat.....( and shut down) but it may depend on your particular version..... Google XPS Overheating

Do you have the Options Software Installed? ( It doesn't using the Gaming Software ) Mick.

Your V7 Manual is here if you don't have it ? : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/documentation.html?version=17

don't have the Manual? from the V7 Manual PDF......

Been a while since I used X7 but in X12 it is here..... and try F1 for help or the PDF Manual perhaps....sorry it is too big to attach it.

Wow....a bit of a Blast from the Past there.... good to know it still will work if needed , to be honest I have not had to try it in X13, so I am not 100% sure if there are better methods these days or not? Mick.

It maybe relate to Grid Rounding ( preferences ) there have been several Threads in the past about it, and IIRC Chopsaw had a few ideas/theories on it ... Mick.
