Dan, I had Firefox open along with Edge. Not nice!

The -9" should be subtracted from whatever the default z origin value is. IOW, you want the Stretch Plane to be just below the escutcheon.

In the PhysX settings, select the dropdown and pick the 520M.

Open the Symbol dbx. Turn on the Origin display in the preview panel. The origin for this type of Symbol should be at the top. Set a Stretch Plane at z = - 9 That will prevent the symbol from stretching at any location except 9" below the ceiling.

Microsoft Edge doesn't play well with ChiefTalk - at least not this version of ChiefTalk.

Only when I didn't know the exact user name. Search is better - now that I know how to access it for members.

Have you checked the PhysX setting in the NVidea Control Panel?

I did find the "Search, All Content, Members" where I can enter all or part of a name. That works pretty well but I suspect that most users won't know it's there.

Super Large Icons are way to difficult to use as a user browser. I'll check the search function and see how that works.

Dan, I see several categories all under the "Moderators" banner. Members Administrators Chief Sales But I don't see any position titles and there are many staff members not listed. Chris, Doug, Dermot, Ryan, Greg, Adrean, Kirk, etc. Most of those post on Chieftalk - some more than others. I understand that there are some who would not want to be directly contacted but sometimes it's nice to be able to send a PM rather than an open thread.

Hi Dan, I just noticed that the "Staff" section only lists "Moderators". Is there a reason that other staff is not in that list?

I'm attaching some files for testing purposes. No problem with relatively small files - I generally don't try to attach anything more than about 10-12 MB so someone else can test larger plans. CAD Block Template.plan DOORWAY RULES.pdf

Dan, I see the "Staff List" and the "Online Users" but I don't see a complete list of Users. We had an alphabetical listing before of all users so we could PM anyone. Also I notice that after "Location" there's no space. IOW LocationRathburn, ID would look better as Location: Rathburn, ID

Hi Dan, For the most part I like it. I think posting replies is a little better - particularly the ability to drag files to attach. OTOH, I miss the ability to find CT Users. Maybe I just don't know where that's located.

Press the green arrow on his post.

So Michael, I agree that referenced macros are not very good in Elevations but I have used them to call out various items in Sections (framing, etc.). For anything actually cut by a section, it works pretty good. For anything shown in "Elevation" it doesn't work. btw, what is your reason for wanting to use a "reference macro" on a line in an elevation view?

In an elevation view, when you select a wall, Chief creates a "Temporary Wall Polyline" for editing purposes. Leader lines can't connect to this object because it doesn't exist as a part of the model.

I can categorically state that referenced macros do work in Elevation Views. But it depends on the object. It works with closed Polylines but you have to make sure you actually have a connection.

What are you trying to connect to? If you're trying to connect to a wall - it's most likely that you are actually getting the "Exterior Room".

Create the railing as a stand-alone railing wall, "No Room Definition", "Follows Stairs". Then drag it into place on the Stairs. It should work - but I haven't tested it in X6.

Only by editing the Layout Lines.

Use a Library Panel

I would just show the Upper Wall - but select the Exterior Room and create a Room Molding Polyline. It will display as a single line (no fill) at the face of the Pony Wall. Not ideal, but it works for me.

There's a checkbox in the Defaults>Camera>3D Views for "Restrict Floor Camera to Room" - but I don't think it works.

Manual Dimensions in Elevations and Sections works pretty well - Basically like the Story Pole.
