Yes that is the problem. Plot Lines with Color Fill. Can't really tell from your screen shot but if you have figured out a way to make it work properly please do tell.

Interesting that it does display correctly in X10. But if that was an X9 bug I just can't imagine it making it through beta testing. What version is your template plan from ?

Not sure about the yellow. In fact I think someone was asking about footing fill not long ago so if you or someone else can figure this one out then it may lead to a useful solution for that. It would be nice if chief would allow for wall fill and hatching but until then you can use chief wall hatching and add the fill by selecting the exterior room and creating a Room Polyline then convert to psolid and Copy and Paste in Place, Concentrically resize to inner wall surface and make that the Hole in Polyline Solid. Then convert back to Plain Polyline so it won't show in 3D and apply a transparent fill. A bit of a workaround but not bad once you get the hang of it and you appear to only want one layer of wall filled so not sure there is another way to do that.

Did you try a search ? It is new in X10. Physically Based Rendering

Have you set your Additional Allowed Angles in General Plan Defaults ? Try Auto Exterior Dimensions and then clean up to suit. Also the Make Parallel tool sometimes comes in handy if things get really out of wack.

Number Style... Bottom Left. Same DBX as you have pictured.

Steve, Cad blocks for symbols do not recognize line styles. You will need to tediously draw the dashed line with individual broken cad lines and you should be fine once that is assigned to the symbol. Very low tech. I believe the symbol retains the layer settings it is created with and will even create that layer if it does not exist in the plan, maybe, give it a try. Sorry, Symbols can only be created on default layers, that second part applies more to Cad and Architectural Blocks stored in the Library.

If you don't find what you need in the Library you can draw your own Panels. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-02893/creating-custom-balusters-and-railing-panels.html

Did you try a balcony ? Looks like it should work.

Ok that looks fine so then when you print from Adobe select "Actual Size" and if that does not work then it is a margins issue. And Mick may have nailed it as your DBX does not show the scale when you have it selected.

Most likely you are set to "Fit to Paper" make sure you are set "To Scale:"

This may have been my fault in suggesting this as a solution but as with other suggestions I have made the implementation just leaves me shaking my head. But then again I did not even know that this was there and of course without Glenn how would we even know how to use it if we did happen to find it. On further examination this is actually not a new feature.

Well I begged Chief for that option for Landings and sure enough they put it just out of reach as a tease. All the other places that could be used to make up for programming deficiencies and no it just can't be done.

When did we get that and where is it in the Library ?

Select page 4 from the drop down and enter E# in the Label: line just below. The macro on page 0 will read it and put in the Number. (E1) and so on for each repeat E2, E3. Since you have 3 Plumbing pages maybe you will have 3 Electrical.

If you have %layout.label% on page 0 of layout then go to Edit Layout Page Information for page 4 and make the label E#

Post a screen shot of what you are seeing and check Preferences > General > Folders > System Library Database Folder: and make sure that is the correct file path and drive.

Yes ok that is the problem. Leave the symbol settings as I posted above and then open the object DBX and change the depth from 98" to 116". Most people have difficulty finding the Symbol DBX but I see you have that figured out. The symbol DBX settings are for the bounding box not the object. Eric's suggestions are not incorrect, just a little more involved than what I understand you are suggesting is required right now.

Maybe I am not understanding this correctly but it seems you need to make the partitioned bathroom stall approximately 18" deeper front to back. If so the stretch plane appears to already be set up correctly for that function straight from the core library. And it appears to be functioning correctly.

Wouldn't it be great if that would also fix the vector view so we could create construction drawings.

Also the Q&A forum so we can also help out or weigh in.

Yes they can be adjusted with carefully placed stretch zones. A little tricky but it can be done.

You will need to figure out the best way to display the faces you need to paint as each face can only be one colour. Possibly two beams that are parallel and then a manual cross box on the end to make it look like one beam. Or you can have full control of all 6 faces by using a polyline solid converted to a solid and then exploded which is a common method for orienting wood grain on timbers.

Try placing the extra door in the wall beside the real one and then slide it over into position over top of the other. I just tried it in X10 and did not need to change the height. They may have improved that. Yes in X9 one must be elevated but not in X10
