Or just make that wall "No Room Definition" since you don't seem to be using that anyway. You might want to also consider turning on "Hide Terrain Intersected by Building" and manually closing the hole beneath the deck.

Anything in particular you might be looking for ? Chief Architect 3D Library has Dacor, GE, Jenn-Air, Miele, Thermador, Viking, Wolf. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/3d-library/index.php?r=site/library&reset=true

You could just modify a piece of the wall framing to represent the pillars, snap a polyline over top if you need hatching rather than a cross box.

It all depends on how it will be built. Whenever possible I like to draw things using the tools that will best represent the construction method.

Not exactly but that would work as well. I set the Symbol Options to be "Floor Mounted" and manually place the fixture on the column. But then had to add the "Subfloor Height Above Terrain" value to the "Height to Center" measurement for the "Offset From Floor" value of the fixture DBX, which would all be much simpler if there was an "Absolut Elevation" setting for electrical fixtures.

Something like this ?

It would appear in your situation the wall is created by the placement of the roof plane. Just set the roof at the correct level and the walls will be cut by the roof plane and it will also provide the sloped ceiling finish.

I am not quite sure how it happened but your vent symbol seems to have experienced some corruption. Go to the Sizing tab of the Symbol Specification DBX and turn on Stretch Planes and Bounding Box display in the preview then Fill Window. This is likely causing the erratic behaviour, but not sure how you fix it short of recreating the symbol.

There are still chief users that like PDF 995 or if you are comfortable hacking into your registry you can add the larger paper sizes to Microsoft. I have heard mention of bullzip also. Adobe of course but that should show up as an option if you have it already.

Possibly your polyline is not contained fully within a single roof plane ? Might need to see a screen shot or the plan file otherwise.

Unfortunately Microsoft only goes to 11x17 but chief is a better PDF saver anyway.

I am sure it is on the to do list but not likely anywhere near the top. Any way the symbol rotation would work for that one but not pendants on a cathedral ceiling unfortunately.

I would think that particular fixture would look ok if you were to just rotate the symbol to match the skylight shaft angle.

Your circles and lines are cad blocked together which is ok but you will have to snap your dimension string to the center of that cad block at the end. Set it all up and then slide it to where you need it. Use the dimensions to move the cad blocks if you are trying to match the original PDF. P.S. Next time save the PDF in the plan file when you post it.

I opened in Trueview and it said there were missing referenced files. The tilte block shows up in Layout but only a reference to some sort of .png file in model space. Not like the "LOWER LEVEL".

I noticed that in your previously posted file on the other thread but I was able to correct it so that it did follow at the 108" R. which I then joined at the hip to get the 207 11/16" R. hip radius. I found it was best to check it by creating a cad detail of the section and then snapping an arc to the top of the rafter. It seemed to work fine.

Seems to work ok.

I cant recall discussions on the subject but here is a video that Rene did on schedules that may be helpful.

You might be able to fix two problems by increasing the overhang.

Hard to know for sure. You computer should be up to it. I run 3 screens on my 1070. Does this happen with only your current plan file or with others as well ?

@Dermot The only way I can get the consistency you speak of is with my plan view Drawing Sheet Setup at 1:1. Then a 1/16" dashed line style will actually measure in at 1/16" with line weights or print preview turned on. And then with "Use Layout Line Scaling" turned on when sent to layout it will actually print at 1/16" regardless of the scale used. The problem is that my Drawing Sheet Setup is only occasionally set to 1:1 since that setting ends up in the Scaling setting of the Send to Layout DBX it is most commonly set at 1/4" = 1' causing the 1/16" dashed line style to display as 3" with line weights or print preview turned on. ( Made an error in my previous posting and measured a stock dashed line style "TinyDash" that I thought was 1/16" but was actually .03125" hence the 1 1/2" measurement.) So line styles are scaling up proportionally in plan views. Is there a way to prevent this to avoid confusion ? I think Mr. Wiley is experiencing the same situation in Section View and it has never made sense to me why this would happen.

You can come pretty close with the improved features of X12 but it is still possible in X11 just a little more work.

Sounds like maybe the lines are white. Not sure on the exact situation but maybe change your background color to gray and see if that helps.
