Thanks for taking the time Chopsaw.....I've been snapping a polyline to the layout box for quite a few years!....but that seems a clumsy way of doing it especially when you resize the layout box....was hoping I might have missed something obvious

thanks again 

cheers zac

Hi Chopsaw,

just wondering if you managed to sort out the display of the layout box border which is over ridden by fill in the plan or elevation view sent to layout ...can't seem to find the answer myself  ...using X9

cheers zac

Great thanks Glen & Java Tom 

Glen your deciphering of my explanation is spot on!  will give both options a try and see how I go

thanks again

Hi Just wondering if anyone has been able to draw a twisted roof plane ....I have  a job that involves an addition to a building where one wall of the building angles in at 5 degrees rather than being parallel to the opposite wall.  The roof planes are pitched off these walls with the same baseline height. The roof pitched off the standard wall is  at 30 Degrees and the roof pitched off the angled wall starts at 30 degrees and  gradually twists to a greater pitch to maintain the same base and ridge height  as the distance between the walls reduces.

As a result I'm struggling to work out how to make the this roof plane twist! ....not sure if it is possible but thought I'd ask ....using X9  

Thanks & cheers  zac
