Ok that looks like it should match. Which is distinctly different from your initial posting. Let me give it a try in X11 and see what happens.

If you are always going to enter the city,state,and zip code in the Street field of the Client info, then you don't need the city, state, and zip macro's in the label.

If you are almost there post the plan file with a few notes for some help. Or if you have a way of recording post a video of where it goes wrong for you. In theory you should be able to cut a round hole and then put the sailboat into it.

The unused city, state, and zip macro's are causing the space.

I would recommend sending the printer a high resolution PDF but here is a 600 dpi .png. How does it compare to yours. Sorry it seem to be displaying with a black background on the forum at least in my Chrome browser.

Looks like a relatively simple silhouette. Construct it with polyline solids/solids and make it into a millwork symbol and apply to railing as panel. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02893/creating-custom-balusters-and-railing-panels.html

It is a little more like an interior railing looking over an open below room the way he has a second floor balcony and that requires skirting from the extra railing layers. Otherwise your single layer railing is the way to go.

To align your layout boxes/floors, set one up so it is centered and then copy and paste the layout box to the next sheet and the open the Layout Box DBX and adjust the Plan View or Floor or Annotation Set. If you are not using Annotation Sets or Plan Views you can open the Layer Display Options and change the Layer set. On Page 0 I use the %layout.title% and %layout.label% macros so that the Layout Page Information I fill out for the Project Browser display also populates my layout sheets. It is fairly basic but works well if you set it up as a template with most of your commonly used pages or everything you can imagine using and then delete the ones that are not appropriate for the project. Joe has some fancy macro's that read his plan information and he sends his information to layout from the plan file. Hope that helps some.

Click it and it will sort all the "Used" layers to the top of the list. All the other columns also work in a similar way.

Click the column header where is says "Used"

Here are a few options to try : Marque select the layout box or CTRL select and use the little control tab at the top. Or hold down the X key and drag a corner. Drag a side and position with point to point tool. Rotate/Resize about current point works like the software did back in X9 if you hold down the X key it will resize proportionally about the anchor point.

Give it a try with a Polyline Solid.

This is not the way I do it but here are some tips from Michael for the Sketchup import method.

I can make that for you to build your sign with. Just send me a PM as I would need a little to cover my time.

Graham, This has been happening to me as long as I can remember. It does not seem to matter where I have my PDF's printed. You must have your printer calibrated to Chief's PDF output somehow which must be different from everyone else's general default settings. Unfortunately that is a big investment for someone just starting out.

I have been experimenting with adjusting the ambient light levels to compensate for that issue. I just wish there was a better way. Not all of us have our own printers that can be adjusted to compensate.

You could use solids for the shelves and they could be exploded to show the wood grain correctly. Then symbols or detailed solid modeling for the pipe fittings and flanges. Could then be made into a symbol with two or three stretch planes for future use in other situations.

How is your Railing Wall defined ?

@Chief_Content can help with that.

You should be able to move the whole deck by selecting all of the walls. You may need to do some manual framing for a situation like that. There is a setting for "Automatically regenerate deck framing" on the Deck tab of the Room DBX

Sorry I did not have that tool in my library yet but it is there now.

Railing is not a problem. The challenge will be to make the glass roof planes to match. Pool Wall Railing.calibz

Select one Rich text item and use the Match Properties tool to then select all the others and if they are all using the same size font you are in luck.

No that is not likely an auto dimensioning possibility without severely messing with your wall definition which would likely cause other issues with your build. However you can Auto dimension and then frame and manually snap to the centers of framing. I have not seen that request before and curious as to the purpose of it ?
