You can also simply use layersets and send multiple overlapped views to layout. It really doesn't have to be all that complex. Hide all your layers except the posts, roof planes, or whatever else you want displayed on any given floor and overlay that view onto whichever other floor you want.

You bet!

Sometimes maybe, it depends on what all is going on. Anyway, point is that there are purposes to breaking the elevation line (cutting around various fixtures, furniture, etc. while still leaving the callout label in place, AND without the extra lines cluttering up the plan.

Your attic walls are just set to invisible for some reason. Open the wall DBX and uncheck Invisible and you're good to go.

Thanks for attaching the plan : ) Someone should be along to help you here shortly. I personally haven't downloaded X8 yet (waiting for the public release so the kinks can be worked out) so I wasn't able to open it.

You know, come to think of it, you could also use another schedule if you're already using the plant schedule for something...furniture schedule maybe... or even an electrical, cabinet, or fixture schedule which all have quite a few options as to which items to display. I guess it might come down to which schedule or "Option To Include" that you're already using.

Took me a minute to figure out what you were trying to do, but if I'm understanding you correctly... There might be a better way, but you can try to use a Plant Schedule to get what you're after. Could use some refinement (I didn't spend much time creating a suitable plant) but here's a quick sample plan...Footing schedule.plan There are at least 1 or 2 videos out there on the subject too. Try searching for plant schedule and see what you get.

Have you tried messing around with the Reference Floor Display?

Can you attach a plan? Too many variables to makes guesses.

Curious...what would you want to do this for?

You're very welcome : )

Not really, no. The goal of breaking the cross section line is to get rid of all the messy extra lines created when cutting through adjacent cabinetry...

I'm resurrecting an old thread because I stumbled across a new piece of information. Had a situation where I needed to put 2 breaks in a cross section line... Moving the callout to either the left or the right and dragging back wasn't an option so I started digging a little deeper. Turns out, you can change the callout location to either left, right, or both sides, change the cross section line style to the blank line style and then change the callout location right back to centered. Very sneaky

Thanks Alan, to be truthful, I didn't really do all that much in this case. I just had to convert an existing sink to an undermount. The trickiest part was getting the CAD block and cutout right.

Had to modify one of the sinks from the library to match an existing situation. Just in case anyone else can use it too... Triple 43 Undermount.calibz

Your exterior wall definition has no exterior layers. Your siding, housewrap, and plywood are all designated as main layers. Select those items one by one and "Move Up" so they become exterior layers.

Go into your layer settings to the Material Region layer and turn it on. You'll see a big lavender colored region that covers almost your entire first floor (except the little area where your floor finish is displaying). Select that material region and either delete it or give it a thickness.

Also..."On Object" should allow you to snap to the wall layers. You may not be able to snap to the center of the wall, but you can draw at the main layer and then just offset the line.

For drawng the headers, try turning on your framing layer and snapping to your framing.

You created a floor material region at some point with a zero thickness. Delete it or change the thickness. You have to turn on the Material Region layer to see it.

Are all your snaps actually checked? Specifically..."On Object"?

Try attaching the plan so one of us can take a look at it. My guess is that its a material setting issue though. Can't be sure without seeing a plan though.

In response to the OP, I recently had an SSD installed into my 5 year old desktop and its great. Also had one of these awesome little do-dads installed in the front of the tower too...I think I might like it even better than the SSD.

Check out this article. Explains it pretty good... http://www.howtogeek.com/171432/ram-disks-explained-what-they-are-and-why-you-probably-shouldnt-use-one/ Not sure it was mentioned in the article (at least I don't remember reading it), but it seems like using a RAM disk could potentially slow down a lot of other processes on the computer being that part of your RAM is being reserved for the drive.

Maybe attach a plan that displaying the problem so one of us can take a look. And let us know which item you can't seem to reflect.
