see my edit above and pic , if not "Docked" they go back to default location actually

I think that is what he is trying to do..... The Side Windows Should open wherever you left them last Session.... *** IF you have that on in Preferences.... If like me you Open multiple Forum Plans and don't LOCK the Toolbars they will change per the Opened plan it seems ...drove me crazy till i locked my Default Toolbar. M

In the 4th Image Curt although you are displaying Main Wall Layers Only, that is not really what you have set, it appears you still have ALL the other Wall types and Layers still on , hence over riding MWLO with Normal Walls, foundation Walls etc etc

Are you talking about Plan Views or how CA looks ie tools bars and Side Windows when you Open a plan?

My guess is it is there so that we can Import Rich Text from Applications Like Word and Excel and display them at the Font Point Size ( typical of all Word Processors) specified in the Original Document and keep the Formatting associated with the Original Document if we wish too. The CAD Style is Typically on by default AFAIK for Rich Text per CA being a CAD Program.... M.

I maybe missing something Joe? but if CAD Style is On they are both the Same Size for me (As expected) according to the Manual...... Text, Markers Schedules and CallOuts all use CAD Style by default. and if you don't use CAD Style for Rich Text, it uses the Font's Information , the same as a Word Processor does instead.... ( under Character size in Help or Manual )

you don't really say what you are trying to achieve and I think Michael is right.... but I am curious why you would want to Round up or Down in the Schedule ? If the Model is accurate so should the Schedule be? M.

Neil ...by now you should know to post the plan, Eric or someone else would already have posted the Answer by now if you had Trying changing the Framing Material in the Wall Def. back to Metal Stud since that's what you want , then make sure to Build the Framing and make sure Wall Framing is On in all 3d Views. If that doesn't help it is most likely your Walls main Layer (Framing) is NOT a framing type material. eg you used Fir set to be a Material with an Area not Framing Type. Most Framing Types have the on Center (OC) measurement in their name eg 16 "OC or 24"OC whether Metal or Wood. M.

Using Michael's Test above I am seeing the opposite..... With CAD Style on (Default?) my capital A is 6" per the defined Text Style setting.... If I uncheck CAD Style it is 4 1/4" and moves UP (note CAD lines)

My guess would be that the "PBR Light Engine" either doesn't "see" ARCH Blocks or it doesn't know how to handle them , especially when they are disparate Items like a Toilet, an Exhaust fan and and Upper cabinet in this example. Which one's properties would it use? perhaps none? if it has no clue? M.

I may misunderstand but the Light Source in the Dark View is in another Room so I am not surprised it is dark.... normally I drop one right behind the Camera so it isn't seen, if the Auto 3D is badly placed ie in the view. M.

Isn't it weird the Invisible wall is there in Vector View? it shouldn't display anything should it ? even if Invisible walls are on in the ALDO.... M.

Was thinking the same thing , but I think he is referring to the Opening Indicators being on for the Cabinets

Ok, I guess I missed something then ? as I don't remember 3D issues , at least in that thread or when I played with it. ** the OP doesn't say what "couldn't be done" or what the question was ...so I'm a bit out of the Loop....

We just did a Whole thread on RollOuts in Cabinets a couple of weeks ago, what did I miss? Or doesn't work? https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/21451-where-is-the-rollouts-in-cabinet-components/

Yes I saw thx., see my editing above too The Version number is your Sig. is important info to have correct...it can completely change the answer to questions, see the blue in mine to fix yours....

Are you on X10 then? or X7 ( time to edit your Signature ) If X10 then X11 is in your Digital Locker....assuming current SSA till March 15th/30th Not sure why you quoted me above but didn't say anything? * ok I see now you typed inside the Quote Box you are on X10 , if X11 Full comes out you can't use SSA to upgrade , you will need to pay the upgrade price not the SSA Renewal Price...

Ahhh yes I did open it in X11 as it was already open....I assumed most were trying the Beta but I see Nelson is using X7?

Hi , I just turned Auto Roof Build back on and all seems well to me ?

That's what I thought.....good to know it's not ALL. as far as future sessions , did you mean in the Same plan , ie like a Plan Default , or does it become a "Library Default" so it applies to All Plans? that's a dangerous setting then , surprised I haven't seen this reported before. M.

I think Eric is right , sounds like Through Walls has been turned on somehow in the ALDO. M.

X9 for sure , not sure about earlier..... can't check....2015 would be X7 ?

I had a problem Plan on the Weekend from a Client with HD Pro with these same issues and Reset to Defaults DID NOT work.....I thought it was going to be the easy fix but no, I ended up doing the Match Properties Roundabout on each level, several times with 6-8 cross sections open so I could tab through them, and all was finally well.

Just got an email from Simpson but here is the Webpage for Direct download of the Simpson StrongTie - 2019/2020 Updated Catalogue, it is now available with Updated Load Tables for 2015 and 2018 IBC https://www.strongtie.com/resources/literature/wood-construction-connectors-catalog?utm_source=product-update&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=2019-wcc-catalog&utm_content=button M.

Nice catch....Even if you have Use Last Folder Checked... the line below still tells you were the last save was made... it will even let you Browse there by checking Use this Folder Easiest way as mentioned is to do another Save as and see where it want to save again this time..... M.
