Sorry select everything you have imported from the DWG file so it all moves together.  If they are overlapped with your work you may need to turn off or lock all those layers or just create a layer set that only has the DWG layers turned on.

Here it is in the viewer but you will want to do it yourself so you can zoom in.  There is also a Layers dropdown.

Fortunately it looks like your scale matches so you just need to be able to select everything and then calculate how much rotation is required and then do a point to point move to put it where it needs to be providing you have those tools in HD.

Take care of that finger and don't cut metal without clamping it, but you know that now I guess.

You may need to snap some cad arc's to your wall surface that you intend to use for measuring and then use a referenced macro to display the arc length.   A little complicate though as you will likely find that measuring to center will give the most accurate results for layout then work out from there.

Almost everything in gray is elevation data.  Do you have a PDF of this from your surveyor ?  That perhaps has a key that tells you what all the codes mean otherwise you will need to use your knowledge of the site to determine what the short forms mean.  Some are obvious but maybe not to someone who has not been on site.

Just guessing "NG" might be Natural Grade, you have trees marked with their species and diameter, fences and fence lines,  "GB" might be Gabion Basket.   You will need to be careful though as some may not be measured at grade so they can not be used as terrain elevations.

Get yourself a free copy of Autodesk DWG TrueView so you can have a quick look at the file the way it was meant to be displayed before you try importing it to Chief.   https://www.autodesk.ca/en/viewers 

My apologies.  I am not sure I have seen any sort of issue like that where an un used layer controls another layer, at least recently.

What version are you using and can you post the plan file ?

Did you try turning off the Walls, Beams layer ?

I can turn it off, but the ceiling issue remains

Did it make any difference to your plan view as posted above ?

You keep asking the same question but I have run out of different ways to answer it.    Ceiling Break Lines....   Your roof is too low !

Did you try turning off the Walls, Beams layer ?

At least 1 is causing issues with the ceiling, and I'd really like to delete these lines and hopefully fix the ceiling(s).

True you can not select or delete them but they have their own layer so you can turn them off.  They do not cause the issue, they are there to indicate that there is an issue that you need to be aware of and may need to fix.

A screen shot would be helpful but that sounds a lot like a "Ceiling Break Line" which have their own layer "Ceiling Break Lines".

You can turn them off but before you do that you may want to raise your roof plane and check your roof structure thickness to avoid infiltration into the room unless that is the look you are after.

3 D Elevations - One other patio slab shows in elevation.  Thanks for your help

Use ALDO to determine what layer it is on in the view that it will display and then make sure that layer is on in the view where it is not displayed.

If that does not work you may need to post the plan file.  It could be a Material or Draw Order issue but there is not enough information to know.

Potentially a high poly symbol or material that was added ?  Check your "surfaces" count in the middle of the status bar in an active 3D view.

Then check what it is in a backup plan file from yesterday.

Check the overall file size as in comparison to the backup.

Also sometimes things just get fowled up and a "Save As" will reduce the file size a resolve the situation.

Surprising no recommendations from tech support especially if you provided a copy of the file ?

I assume that RTX 3080 is in a new computer but knowing the specs and the size of the plan file would be a big help.

Try changing up the rendering technique in the preview bar.

I was getting essentially the same thing with standard render.  I normally use vector view so had not noticed the issue but it would be great to figure it out for material viewing.

Seems to also be a PC and Nvidia issue if that helps to not narrow it down.

Not yet unless you care to separate your schedule by rooms or floors to help keep things organized in smaller batches.

Likely line weight and color here:

I meant just the ability to show an angle, regardless of the format.

That is not a default it is simply an " Angular Dimension ".

Thanks Chop, the main part is set up as a Deck floor now... maybe I should create another floor underneath it?

Think I would just change the elevation and not the level unless you want it designated that way on the drawing.

@Chopsaw What default setting is required to show the initial angle when you select the CAD?

Do you mean the   " 15.0° "  ?    There was no default until X13.  Now you can choose. 

You might be better off using a deck room for those landings anyway which makes the supports easier anyway.

And you may need to hurry with the drawings since it looks like they are almost finished anyway. 

Yes it would be great if we could created a truncated Cone like the feature that Pyramids have but that is not and available option.

You will need to create a cone with the right base and slope then cut the top off with boolean operations.  Then if you will use this in other plans you can make a symbol out of it a put it in your library so you don't have to spend time recreating it.

If your goal is a shape like this just combine a Cone and Cylinder and don't worry about trimming the cone.

Do you know how to correct it?

Not exactly sure without the plan file but I would be willing to take a look for you.

It looks like you must have a room defined with that central "floating" structure and it is creating an auto ceiling.

Perhaps a custom Road Stripe could work for that ?
