  1. Adjust line weights of items with heavy lines, layer dbx or default settings or ...........
  2. post the plan and layout file
  3. I figured a way to get what I wanted and I agree with above posts. TY for replies.
  4. When a fixture is put on its own layer the label does not move to new layer. It is still on "Fixtures, Interior Labels" layer, how do we get label to follow fixture to new layer?
  5. Bearing on exterior walls 2nd floor.plan
  6. CA's cross section of the actual model or plan with added notes is just about as quick as modifying a generic cad detail. You will do both, I'm sure.
  7. Start here, download libraries from CA website and go to training videos. There is no magic button that does it for you, manual work is always involved.
  8. Wall with windows was not aligned with wall below, therefore CA put an attic wall that was blocking your wall with windows. Khavanin see the windows.zip
  9. Our policy is 3/4" added rough opening ALWAYS, because as Jeff mentioned use a 3/4" material for shimming opening. Option to have that extra 3/4" is nice, shim top or bottom.
  10. It was time consuming but nice results and thanks again Michael.
  11. TY, back to the square grid display.
  12. Can the dot size be changed when used as the "grid" on plan view?
  13. IMO I think you should have 2 different layout files if you want scale to be accurate. You want 1/4" scale to be accurate and then by changing page size you want your drawing at 1/8" scale accuracy. It sounds logical but I would not trust this procedure, printer is responsible for accuracy on 1/8 scale not CA.
  14. Another option, redlines on plane are your ridge cap and can be turned off in layers. Other dashed lines were as Glen pointed out "ceiling break lines", this means this section hangs below default ceiling height. 2016-23 Design 1 mine.plan
  15. PDF programs often have a print option to lower file size. I use PDF-XChange and it has that option. Large files are common with CA & PDF I just opened your layout and printed it to pdf, file size 18mb. Then I printed it with my "optimize" print selection and it was 9mb. 1/2 the file size.
  16. This page of training videos will get you rolling https://video.chiefarchitect.com/?playlist=108
  17. Too much work for delete surfaces but another good idea. I copied wall type with "open" materials. TY again Michael
  18. Downloaded a block of commercial kitchen equipment from 3d warehouse, how do we explode block?
  19. Any way to show framing and window only? Horizontal framing project.
