select the arrow and then the change line/arc tool on the edit menu and pull arc normally as needed....

there is an ARC with Arrow on the Arc Menu in X10 ..... or open the ARC DBX and check the Arrow radio box ( off by default ) .... M.

@Designer1 Use BullZip Print to PDF (Free) instead of Chief's , file size is smaller and you can WaterMark it as well. http://www.bullzip.com/products/pdf/info.php They also have a free Reader much like Adobe Reader... http://www.bullzip.com/products/stu/

Michael is correct but you will need to assign the Dimensions to the new appropriate Layer you create as you mentioned , it isn't automatic , otherwise they would all remain on the Manual Dims. Layer

Check Kirk Clemon's advice in your other thread in March JB, the Codec made a big Difference when I tried as he suggested.

He says in the OP he used an interior wall-type for all the walls , but if CA "senses" it is actually an exterior wall has it changed it to an exterior wall in those areas perhaps.. ???.

Is it showing Siding where the interior Wall used is actually an exterior Wall ? perhaps CA is smarter than you think or too smart in some cases .....

sounds like you need to check David's mentioned defaults in your Template , since it appear you brought it forward from X8 and have the same issues in X9 Try the Windows Snipping Tool in accessories for posting images here , save image to your desktop and then drag it into the reply window... (light grey area) M.

The "Dimension too" setting usually controls this in the Wall's definition..... Other things may overide or confuse the Issue too eg is the dimension default set to Surface or Wall Dimension Layer ? Best to post the actual plan if possible so someone can advise you.... Please add your Sig. as Eric mentioned above.... M.

398.11 is the latest driver as of June 5th 2018 , seems okay currently on my 1070Ti Geforce 600.700.800.900 and 10 Series are supported.... https://us.download.nvidia.com/Windows/398.11/398.11-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe

List of Nvidia Cards no longer Supported by Driver Versions 396 and above : **32bit Win10 is also not supported any longer....though most use 64bit only X10 now I think? http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4656

It looks like it is because you changed the floor height of the Open Below Room , make it the same as the Mezz. level ie 105" , it doesn't matter since it is Open below anyway and not really there. And as Glenn mentioned change the Room Type to Storage for example ( rename as Mezz. Level) , so the edge of the floor generates properly and you get a ceiling underneath... I also noticed the stairs to the Mezz. need an adjustment too, the top flight is buried in the Mezz. Floor , making the lower Flight 1 tread longer/higher may work so that 2nd flight can be then shortened one step.

The number of segments in the Leader lines is Controlled by the Setting in Preferences >Appearance>Text>Leader Lines , the default is 2 you can also specified Rich Text (vs text) If an Item is greyed out I believe that means it is not associated with an object , the tail usually is as that is the Text... unless you don't create the Text which is possible by cancelling out the Text Input DBX

you may need to create a layout sheet in the size you want.... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00737/creating-and-using-layout-templates.html

Hi Glenn , I didn't understand the 4:12 pitch comment either ( HOA ,City,Owner?), but at 4:12 you would lose the Windows , so I just tried what I thought would work, doing a Cross Section through the Verandah / Windows may help too , but an accurate As-Built would be a must , and the Drawings are different from the Photos. If the Windows were changed out to 12"-16" high versions to still allow light / Air flow 4 :12 will work by the look of it.... see green CAD Line below M.

https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/library&reset=true Filter by Version and Catalog type at the top, eg Manufacturer or Bonus ( Non-Manuf.) it's good to have your Forum Signature filled in, especially with the Software Version, and of course a real Name is nice too ..............see mine below in Blue for how to do that. If you don't see my Signature then you have them turned off for the Forum so you need to Toggle it on in UserName>Account >Signatures...... go to the Upper RH Corner of Forum Window. M.

Hi Newell , looking at the Photos I don't think your floor plan is 100% accurate , my (rough) guess it the Curved wall radius is about 12' as there is a straight section either side of the curve both in the existing Verandah and in the upper Window curved wall where there is also a bump out on the left of about 16" ? The easiest way is to let CA auto build the House roof without any roof over the existing verandah and then turn off Auto Build and draw your own Roof plane in from the New Verandah Wall (beam) , it looks like 2.5 deg. works if you want to keep the upper windows using your plan foot print , which would mean you'd need Flat granulated Roofing Materials not Shingles on it. playing with the Depth and or height of the new Verandah may get you back to 3 deg. the minimum for most shingles.

try posting this in the Seek Services Forum too... there are some good Guys in the Area.... M.

The Material Definition Tool (rainbow Icon) will allow you to make any changes , eg rename the material , and then save it to the Library , not sure if it works in your particular Case though? M

There is a Note in this week's Update to CA10 PDF that this has been fixed ....... fingers crossed .... 2.7 Dimensions • Fixed a problem that caused Temporary Dimensions along walls to stop at perpendicu‐ lar walls.

Thanks Ken , if you want real 3D , I made another Library back in Jan. just remember to turn Framing on in ALL views to see them

I mostly do Remodels / Renovations and depending on the Era of the house they are all different, for example the current one has a height of 98" finished floor to finished Ceiling , so I'm using 9' Precuts for the 99 1/2" height. M.

same around here , I always have to change CA's default and wondered where it was 97 1/8 , was thinking just Idaho but I guess not.... M.

All good advice , things to try above....... I have not heard of those particular symptoms so a call to TS maybe a good idea too. Nvidia Drivers of late haven't been the best , so trying another version may help. Graham thinking that the iGPU is being used not the 1080Ti is also a good thought.....

is Chief crashing or the Computer ? are you watching CPU Temps when Raytracing ? any error messages ?
