Probably Glenn until I can come up with a better solution.

I do not believe there is a perfect solution to this problem. I think there are 3 approaches, Glenn's, Ed's and Mine. All 3 have their pluses and minuses. I think my approach has the fewest number of minuses. Glenn's approach is interesting. Note that on level 1, the floors are not provided by floor below.... thus we have what I call the virtual slab. Here are his downsides: 1. In plan view level zero, the step does not show. 2. In floor overview of level zero we do not see slab 3. To show footings for the divider wall on foundation, we must employ ref sets for the footings. None of these downsides are killers, but they are there Ed's approach employs the use of adding a hybrid wall with an additional layer to get the footing offset. Downsides: 1. Having to use hybrid wall 2. extra lines in elevation of hybrid wall My approach is the simplest. Downside: 1. After cutting a section and auto detailing, the filled slab closed pline must be manually edited...... the positives are 1. You see step in plan view 2. Floor overview at level zero, the slab is visible 3. No extra lines do to the hybrid wall Whatever approach you choose, none of them are perfect.... CA might want to take a look and see if they have a better solution. EDIT: I MAY HAVE TO BACK OFF MY CLAIM THAT MY APPROACH IS BETTER UNTIL I CAN POST A PLAN. CHECK OUT GLENNS PLAN.... REVIEW GLENNS FNDTN SCREEN SHOT..... IN THE FLOOR BOX, HOW DID HE NOT HAVE "FLOOR SUPPLIED...." NOT CHECKED AND THE OTHER TWO BOXES ARE CHECKED. This setting combination has been a mystery to me. EDS Footings X6 .plan GLENNS Footings X6 final 3.plan

Now I understand what you are looking for. I get it...... however.... there must be a limitation in that.... do you want a different layer for every single item? But I do understand what you are looking for and it could be useful in some situations if we had the flexibility to accomplish what you are asking for.

Of course you will not see a difference if there is no text on layer. It controls text style, if no text, what would it control? There is no text. You will only see a difference if there is text and IF THE TEXT IS STYLE IS CONTROLLED BY LAYER. If the text style is not controlled by layer, it makes no difference what the test style is for that layer because the text IS NOT CONTROLLED BY LAYER. Not sure if that answer sufficed.

Question is not clear.

Post the plan, but if I had to guess, you changed the glass material to siding.... doesn't that make sense? You see the glass material as siding, so somehow you change the material to siding. I must admit, I love newbie questions, I always learn something new from the Newbie questions, so keep posting, just give us more info to help you.

Are you kidding me? What kind of a question is that. Siding pattern in the glass? in the frame? in the sash? I see you are a newbie...... I know.... calling you a newbie is not politically correct.... I was chastised for using this term not too long ago..... you must be a bit more clear when posing a question and when you are clearer, I guarantee you will have your question answered within 10 minutes.........

Typically we party it up on NYE too, but this year is going to be quiet for us. Hope you feel better soon, sorry about you blown party plans, a quiet NYE is not always a bad thing.

Vids here..... not bad vids.... PART 1 http://youtu.be/3NSDVeo8l2g PART 2 http://youtu.be/6gOrTBO-PWE PART 3 http://youtu.be/xo4ThK1fyP4 Happy New Year's to all. 2015 will be a great year.

Thx guys, worked perfectly.

Thx guys, will give it a go

Working with a Buddy, he just bought a new computer, a Lenovo Y50 Laptop, internal graphics card is a Intel ® HD Graphics 4600 with open GL (I ain't a genius with this stuff) He also has a dedicated graphics card.... A Geforce GTX NVIDIA.... he does not know how to activate...... any ideas on what we need to do? thx

LOL, thanks Mr. McC. Unfortunately, I think I can relate to the old codger.

Based on the feedback I have received from CA, I would agree with this.

Yes, I thought you taught me this......... PREFERENCES<APPEARANCE<TEXT.... uncheck CREATE RICH TEXT

Try making the dimension text 0.00000" tall, it all but disappears. I think there is a way to make it invisible, but I forget how

Here is a vid. http://youtu.be/cM0ko9AL8dY Done it a thousand times, so don't waste your time.

The cause is the auto roof returns on the the gable walls. Manually build this eye brows and you should be okay.

Yeah, I went back to original vid and if I zoomed out in my browser I can see it all..... weird that both P. and I were having issues and it may of been our problem.

P., try zooming out on your browser.

Yes, better, but I had to ZOOM OUT, seems like bad on me. Probably my problem and I can fix at my end.

Agree, Vista Larry needs to work on the sizing.

EDIT OBJECT PARTS is turned off

Love the vid Vista Larry. Nice job. Like to see your usage of hotkeys..... I noticed you set up some custom hot keys that work for you. Hope to see more vids.

Try using moldings for the rails.
