Use Molding Polylines. For the horizontal pieces you can use a series of molding profiles For the vertical pieces use 3D molding symbols. It will take a little work to get the pieces all correct but it works.

It could be that she's just clicking on the plan to open it. If that's the case her system may be trying to open it using X10. Ask her to first start Chief X11 and then open the plan from there. Sometimes when someone installs a new version they forget to set the file associations properly.

Does 1 Electric Meter equal 1000 Electric Millimeters ?

Per the Help - F! Key

Do what Michael said. You might have to resize in the Layout but that's pretty easy to do.

Really? I've never heard of this limitation. If you have a mouse with a "wheel" you can zoom in or out. Otherwise, there should be a magnifying glass icon (upper right of the screen) with a "-" that will "zoom out". Another option is to set up Hot-Keys for zoom-in & zoom out

Still could be a compatibility problem with Windows 10. You might be able to set Chief X5 to run in a compatibility mode - or it could be that X5 was only 32 bit and that's causing the problem. I really don't know, just throwing out possibilities.

Without the plan (and almost none of us have X7 installed) there's no way to know what you are doing wrong. That said, try the following: Draw a railing wall in the basement next to the stairs. Move that railing wall so that it's main layer is on the stair. Set the railing wall to "Follow Stair". That should work. If not, post the plan and maybe someone can do it for you. BTW, why have you not upgraded since X7? X11 has much more capability.

It's not inside the Stair dbx. It's a part of "Railing Walls".

You could create a Symbol (Exterior Fixture) that mounts on a wall.

Make each of those rows of tile a separate "Wall Material Region" -or- a "Molding Polyline" -or- a "Wall Covering". Either one will work.

In that case - just use a "Soffit" for the dropped ceiling area. No need for a separate room.

Steve, How thick is your invisible wall. Typically a "Room Divider" should be very thin and prevents this problem.

I'm just curious as to why you would use a PSolid instead of either a "Custom Backsplash" or a "Wall Material Region". Both tools are easier and are designed to do the job. You can use the "Pattern From Texture" tool in either case.

Why not just use a custom backsplash or wall material region in that area? You could then use a different material. IAE, you can copy the existing material and change both the texture and the pattern to suit what you want.

The bevels would be difficult. However, you can use a small "Wall Material Region" (transparent material) with "Cuts Surface Layers" to get a fair approximation. Another option is to use one or more Molding Polylines with several moldings stacked to add the Blocks outside of the wall finish layer.

Out here in LALA Land we virtually can't build a CMU wall without lots of steel and solid grout. I have seen some "Garden Walls" that had little or no reinforcing but those usually get flattened the first time an earthquake occurs.

X7 is at least 4, maybe 5 years old. I'm pretty sure the cable railings weren't available for stairs that far back. The key is that the "Panels" section didn't exist.

Yep! And then they mess it up.

If you want a Water Mark - why not just use that tool?

framing_area should be to the outside of the rafters and rough fascia surface_area should be to the outside of the finish fascia and possibly shadow-boards

I like this one much better: #================================================= # Joe's Macro Service # Ruby script: _global Variable Values # Copyright September 22,2019 #================================================= #================================================= # This macro lists all the $Global variables and their current values #================================================= referenced ? obj = referenced : obj = owner if obj.respond_to?

Marque select the text box. Then you should be able to block it.
