A search for "grainy ray trace" returns 15 results... https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/search/?q=grainy ray trace&search_and_or=and ...and you should post these queries in the General Q&A section

I can also see the edit tool you're asking about in that picture.

Easy peasy. Add a Place Library Object tool to your toolbar and then assign the wall type from your library to that tool. Click Launch Help and search Place Library Object Button

These objects don't actually need to be connected to anything in the room at all. They themselves are a valid medium to pull the information from the room.

Sorry, I misunderstood. Sounds like you want it upside down. No, I don't know any way of doing that.

I think setting the label angle to like -89.99 degrees might be the closest you're gonna get.

...an odd saying. Sounds like something that would be very relieving to have. Maybe not as satisfying as a brain sneeze, but relieving nonetheless...and I'm never really relieved when I let a brain fart rip.

If it was me, I would seriously consider using the primitives (Solids) Jerry included with his library to build some much longer spans and then just use those, multiple copy, and then trim them to the desired shape using another larger solid and Boolean operations.

Open Symbol>Sizing tab...change the depth plane that's set to a negative number or just uncheck it entirely.

3. Use cameras displayed on all floors (probably As Callouts on Both Sides). They're not too good for snapping to though. If you have X11, I think #2 is the best option though for sure.

This is not the place to make those reports. They need to be reported to Technical Support... https://support.chiefarchitect.com/

All the shapes can be rotated except for the ellipse, the capsule, and the rectangle. I suggested early on that we be able to block notes (which would allow for this) but so far that request hasn't been granted. I suggest you send in a request as well...either for the ability to simply rotate those particular callout shapes along with their text or for the ability to block the notes. I noticed this as well. Might want to send that one in too.

Custom macro(s).

^^^^BOTH

My guess is that you have a slab or some other 3D object selected and not a simple polyline.

Those formatting macros in your plan are actually a combination of Chief's and mine.

Good video Larry. I usually just snap from the corner of the house to the corner of the lot line and then use the Make Parallel/Perpendicular tool and relocate as necessary. What you have shown using the Point To Point dimension tool and some of its newer (X9 or X10) functionalities is a very good method though as well. Thanks.

Or just skip the polyline steps and automate the whole thing using the actual molding information provided by the room... Molding test.plan Simply drop a copy of the text box into any room you wish to get the molding quantities for that room...and this is just a pretty quick and simple example of the type of information we can automatically pull from the actual model now.

Here's another way to think about it regardless of whether or not you think its logical to display the floor framing along with the wall system they are bearing on... For all intents and purposes, each floor has walls, a floor, and a ceiling right? What we want to avoid is showing multiple floor/ceiling structures on the same page, so, for the sake of clarity (and logicality in my opinion), Foundation level gets the first floor structure, First Floor level gets the 2nd floor structure, and top floor gets the roof structure. Every level gets one set of walls and one platform.

If you've never seen tat before then you likely don't know what it is. You must have inadvertently check Make Roof Baseline Polylines which is an optional method of controlling Auto Roofs.

Check the Items To Include section of your schedules. Those settings don’t properly carry over during a copy/paste and never have as far as I know.

This one is a long time drafting standard.

P.S. ironically, the macro stopped working because Chief fixed something.

It was me, and it was actually a freebie at that time. I have since modified it. Shoot me over an email.

Wasn’t a problem before we gained the new capabilities. I have no doubt in my mind that adding those patterns back to the drop down now would not be a good thing. It’s much cleaner and more intuitive like it is. How would a rotated horizontal hatch make sense or a rotated vertical hatch, or an angle hatch rotated to vertical? Could get very confusing very fast.
