If you want the house ridge to align with that of the garage ridge in terms of height, you will need to lessen the roof slope of the house roof planes. This will bring the ridge down, with the house ridge intersecting the garage ridge as a "T" in plan. To do this manually, turn off auto roofs. You can then query the height of the garage roof ridge. Copy that number. Then open the adjacent house roof planes. Paste that number over to their ridge heights while making sure the roof wall plate height is locked. You should see the roof planes adjust and the ridge heights align. Hope that helps, Jim

Well dangnabbit! Thanks for doing the research. I appreciate it. Jim

Reposting with the hope somebody has some insight into this. Thanks, Jim

Okay, I have a feeling this is related to my previous post. There's something about Reference Display items and camera view output that I clearly do not understand. Anyways, I have a site plan model with 5 "tiny house" referenced in to the plan using the Reference Display feature: Everything looks great with the with model: I then exported the site plan model as a Chief 3D Viewer File. And, the 5 units were not part of the model: Any ideas what's going on? Thanks again, Jim

Good morning, I've created a site plan with various tiny house units populating my site terrain model using the reference display (they are all separate PLAN files): I then created a site section and sent this section view to a layout sheet. My problem -- the units do not show up in the section view. The Camera View Option is set to Plot Lines. However, when I set the Camera to Live View, the units show up: I prefer Plot Lines. Is Chief unable to generate any lines from Reference Display object? Your insight appreciated. Thanks, Jim

I have a 3080. There are newer drivers available. You might try those. Jim

I don't want to. I am duplicating topo lines from a survey drawing and I want them to closely match, so hence the manual input. I found that the auto-generated terrain contour lines don't match close enough for my purposes. Jim

Just out of the box output. I don't know anything about macros, but your second suggestion works perfectly. Thanks for that fix! Jim

Good morning, How do I change how my elevation line labels read? I'd like decimal feet with no decimal point and units for example 88 as opposed to 88.00 ft. Note that what's shown are manual terrain elevation lines and not contours. Thanks again, Jim

I suppose a solution for Ed would be to turn off the callout option in the Camera and just use a "dumb" callout. Maybe not the most elegant...

I think this is for a simple callout only. But, I don't think it's available for the callout option of the Cross Section / Elevation Specification.

Confirmed your original understanding, right? Glad it worked out.

Thanks for the tip!

thank you!

Thanks! Jim
