Oops.... Do you think the client would notice ?

Yes they are kinda buried so you might actually have some. Core > Architectural > Windows > Window Units > Octagonal Also I did not play but I though there was a setting with Symbol windows for the plan defaults to provide the casing ?

I guess no one thought to look in the library. But if you can make one from scratch in 7 minutes why bother.

Use your "Make Parallel/Perpendicular" tool to align the second line and then use your temporary dimensions to position it or an actual dimension can be set to Perpendicular with the same tool. Lots of options with Chief... You can also edit a cad line to any angle you want.

If the minimum segment angle is not quite fine enough for you there is a method of using polyline subtraction on the edge of the roof planes to decrease the number of segments for the fascia if you are trying to simulate a steamed fascia board.

No such thing as a curved baseline. Just as if you are going to build that with wood there are multiple segments to the roof plane and baseline. Did you find the chief video on round roofs ?

Not really sure there is a default. It is loosely based on the "Current Screen" magnification and cropping if you use that setting when sending to layout. There is more control with sending an image rather than a live view but I don't know who does that now that we have live views. The old method of dragging a corner is now: Anchor the fixed corner and place a temporary point there and then make sure "Rotate/Resize about Current Point" is turned on and then finally hold your X key down and grab the opposite corner to resize..... Whew.... Then don't forget to delete the temporary point.

If you need to change the magnification then marque select the layout box and use the upper edit handle. There is a much more complicated method to make it work the way it did by default several version back just by pulling on a corner. Is that the method you are after like other programs ?

With your temporary dimensions turned on select an edit handle and then enter the size you would like.

Ok I tried it again with the camera open and it cleared up but that was pretty freaky. I will see if I can duplicate it incase it is a bug.

That seems logical but unfortunately the software is not optimized to work that way yet. Just for fun set all your 3D live views back to Plot Lines while you are working and see if that makes a difference. This usually works for me but I just did it in my layout that was open and trashed it so will be calling tech support again.

Without getting into computer specifications and plan file size, do you have a bunch of 3D views already sent to layout ?

You can post some actual screen shots of the project that show the failure of even the plan file if you like. Hard to know for sure but possibly roof groups could be useful in a situation like that. Let us know what version you are running as well. Welcome to the forum.

Sorry I did not realize you were using wall elevation cameras. They will need to be kept inside the room you are referencing. Maybe you just need to make them a little smaller ?
