I sent 2 different pictures from the same plan (roof framing & floor framing) to layout but when I print to PDF, the roof framing picture has normal line weights but the floor plan has lines so heavy I can't even read the text. I'm pretty sure I've seen this topic covered somewhere, but I've spent considerable time searching the forum with no luck. Anybody have any suggestions? Jason & Jamie Smith addition.pdf

I tried the hole in roof idea before and again after solver's suggestion. Again the program would not let me draw an attic wall completely across the gable. (only half the gable). To answer the other comment, I find it easier (and less frustrating) to get what I want by manually building the roof.

I have the same problem as Designedit and I tried option #1 from VHAMPTON to no avail. Then I tried option #2 but the program wont even let me manually draw attic walls. So I did option #3 which worked well except it won't let me put a decorative window in it. Any ideas? Golden_Arrow_steeper_roof_pitch_bsmt_change.plan

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but can't get the plan file to upload

No, The camera is completely outside the building

Yup, all of the wall options are checked

Anybody have an idea why my exterior walls would suddenly go missing in my camera views? They used to be there and the display option is turned on. no ext wall elevation.pdf

Thanks, I was able to figure it out from "chopsaw's" post, but the extra info you gave is very helpful too.

I'm working on a plot plan and on some of the lines I have checked the box "show line length". The numbers show up huge on my plot plan and I can't seem to find a way to edit their size. I also wanted to change the number style for the plot and it won't change that either. I've search the forums and my "help section and just can't figure it out. Any Ideas? plot plan.pdf

Thanks, that worked. Not sure its the most elegant fix, but it looks good in elevation and that's what counts

I put a barrel ceiling in the entryway of this house and I want the attic wall to match it. I've been searching the forum and the help tab, but cant seem to find the info I need barrel ceiling elevation.pdf

Anybody know how to arch the bottom of a curtain wall hanging down at the edge of a room that is on the attic wall layer?

Well, that's a new one on me. When I restarted my computer the "plotlines" was the default. I just resent all my elevations and everything is able to be edited. Thanks!

Nope. That didn't work and now, when I zoom in on an elevation in layout the lines get all fat and blurred. I'm missing something.

I just started using X9. In the past when I send an elevation to layout, I have always been able to remove unwanted lines by using the "edit layout lines" button. Today, when I sent my first elevation to layout, I couldn't select ANY lines in the layout view.

That worked. Thanks

I haven't worked with chief for a couple of weeks so someone else in the office may have changed something. Now when I click the library button, the library doesn't open at least where I can see it. I've zoomed way out and not found it. I did a search of the forums and didn't find anything. Any ideas? Its probably really simple.

AHH! such a simple solution! Thanks!

I Can't select some of the text items in my plan. I need to modify or delete some of them and there is just no way to get ahold of them. Its in my floor framing layer set on the main level. A couple of the beam notes and a few of the post notes. Hmmm. I'm having problems attaching the file.

I don't know if that's the way its supposed to work, but that accomplished the goal. Thanks all!

Yes I Know I can make what ever label I want for each individual window but I don't want to go through and edit each window's label. It should automatically display both window size (which it does) and type of window (which it doesn't)

I know this is probably really simple, but I cant get my latest plan to display the window type. In all previous plans the size and type show up automatically when I check the window labels box. But on this plan I only get the window size. I can't seem to find anything on it in Help either.
