You can use a different layerset for each plan and turn off cameras where you don't want them displayed.(As already stated) I have not gone to the effort to do this but understand your problem and think it may be possible to create another section camera on another layer ( Camera B ) and give it the same name as the original one, placing it in the same position and have a different spread on the two cameras and keep it live or do not bother to send it to layout but just use it as a display in plan view. As for the connection line it's style can be changed or the blank linestyle could be used and a short cad tail added to the callout. Also the cameras will display if the view is open unless you uncheck it in Plan Defaults > General Camera > Plan Display > "Always Display Active Cameras" Quikie test plan attached X8 Callouts for Mike.plan

Dan, If you would not mind taking a look to see why this in not formatting to a 1080 pixel width would be much appreciated. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/12396-amaising-software-nowdays/?do=findComment&comment=106510 I thought it was an isolated incident but it appears now that it is not. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/12440-comparing-3d-cad-software-questions-to-consider/ Thanks, Chopsaw

Just guessing without seeing the plan but you may have adjusted some settings after building the floor truss. If that is a possibility then select a truss and open it and force it to rebuild and see if anything changes in your elevation view.

Looks like there are a lot of things missing from your DBX and your chief icon is Purple. What version are you running?

Newel, If you are really concerned about your reputation you would have done a quick forum search before posting and found this :

I am not sure then what might be going on here without guessing. If you would care to post your plan file someone will be sure to check it for you and figure out what the issue is. Just give a brief description of what you have drawn.

You can set your room label text size in Plan Defaults > Rooms > Room Label > Text Style. You will need to check If the layers that you want to see have been selected in the Active Layer Display Options (ALDO). It is likely using the Camera View Set but you can quickly switch it to the All on Set to see if there is some sort of a problem.

This does not work well for all attributes but may save some time depending on what needs to be transferred. If you had all the specifications written down or in your head this would work fine but if you are guessing then you could mess up all roof planes. It might work better if the "No Change" items were just grayed out and then you could reference or confirm them to change.

That would be the railing wall ( Interior Railing,ND ) No Drywall. That is essentially my outdoor Railing wall which never needs drywall and does not need to display the extra layers also it is a little simpler to keep track of the width when modifying for offsets etc. Also can be used for interior where the drywall layer is causing display issues for instance a railing mounted on an exposed beam or stringer etc. Give it a try.

Try making your invisible wall "No Locate" in Wall Specification > General > Options. If that does not work you may want to post your plan file.

Select the wall then the tool. Look for tiny diamonds for each layer.

You should be able to select the wall beside the fridge and use the Edit Wall Layer Intersections tool to pull back the framing layer 1/2" to expose the drywall.

Ok, I understand your objective just as long as CA is ok with it. Tiger gave you the file path info. The other problem is my skeleton bonus library is over a gig, so it is not something you just email to a client. By the time you upload to Cloud and then your client downloads from Cloud the time savings are marginal and you are really just providing the same service as CA. If it was your own custom User Library that would be different. If you were meeting with clients and could take a USB drive maybe that would save some time.

Scott, I don't understand the question. Did you not pay for all that content? Any how would it be faster to get it from you than to get it from Chief?

Rich I am sure you are aware that Dan is still monitoring his thread on the New Forum and some of what you have mentioned would sure be nice to get back if possible. Why not post a refined copy over there: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/11785-chieftalk-migration/?page=7 with a link back to here as this is definitely a valid problem. It's hard to chase down a thread that is more than a couple of weeks old unless you participated. It seems to be even more evident with the recent surge in repeat questions and the advanced search not working.

The easiest way to make that happen is to use an invisible wall around the interior of your porch. Sample test plan attached. X8 Railing Post test B.plan

Even better, all the answers are the same.

Railing Specification DBX (Dialogue Box),>Rails,>Rail Profiles,>Selected Profile,>Drop Down Menue,> Select "BEAM" and adjust settings below.

Nice find Richard, however there are four other items that you will also want to delete. -Light -2x4-Fluorescent off to the left on floor 1 X= -153266 Y= -8162 Z= 0 -Cluster of cad plot plan lines off to upper left on floor 1 X= -203319 Y= 111420 Z=0 -Plot plan line on floor 1 X= 219989 Y= -100637 Z=0 -Rich Text Label on floor 1 X=151309 Y= -111422 Z=0 The Key is this little tool here or sometimes even more useful is CTRL+A in each view with the All on Layerset.

I see that you could not wait until the morning. Maybe a Sketckup user could weigh in and explain. It is maybe possible to edit in Sketchup?

Yes I can confirm but not explain that behavior for you. If you make a copy of the material to apply to the chair without the arm (001) you can set it to about 2.5" x 2.5" rather than the default 20x20 and deselect stretch to fit and it should give you a reasonable match.

Strange that the plan is not displaying all the same issues for me but two easy fixes are the walls on either side of the porch. Just select them and make them attic walls.

Are those wall segments selectable in 3D?

Very Nice, We just had a mild spell as well but unfortunately it brought almost a half inch of freezing rain. Snow is much better. Were you able to get any more consistent results with the dimensions?

Yup, If CA picks this up that would be a great feature and make true 3D design easy but It would likely be smoother to use if it was at the base of the wall. Just hoping for now and maybe when your son graduates from Lego it will be there for him.
