My 3D floor camera isn't showing the walls. I see the outside background instead. The walls are there in perspective full overview....just the interior floor camera doesn't work properly. I have made sure all wall options are on to be displayed in 3D views. I have set floors back to default ceiling height, wall heights etc. as mentioned in http://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00378/. I have checked the other steps mentioned as well. Can anyone tell me what else I should check? I have attached a picture of what I get using floor camera. http://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00378/

Still would like to learn how to do the brick course molding mentioned in the tutorial http://www.chiefarch...icle/KB-00797/ I can see how it would make the brick band I need around windows so easily. You just go into the casing and select the brick molding you created as the material. I followed the instructions exactly. I even did it 3 times to make sure. When I zoom into the window casing (attached in original post) I can see the brick and mortar is there, but it is so narrow it looks like stripes. This image from the tutorial is the look I am trying to get. Anyone else have a hint for me? Diane Pitts http://www.builderscadservices.com/

Thanks for your reply, David. You are my Chief Guru. I have watched so many of your videos. They have been so helpful in learning Chief. What I was trying to accomplish is a brick band around the window. I will look at your link.

I followed the instructions for creating this symbol from Chief Architect. http://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00797/ I know I am close, but there is something wrong with the size. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get the brick course to be the correct width? I have attached a picture of what the molding symbol is giving me when I put it on a window casing.

Thanks for your replies. I figured it out. If you zoom in really, really close to the columns the columns do appear in the reference display. They just aren't visible like other similarly sized objects (sinks) from the normal full

I have selected display millwork on the reference layer set I created for the foundation, but it won't show the column locations. Everything else I have selected is displaying correctly. I need this info for my foundation page. Any ideas on what I am missing?

Restarted CA, seems to be working correctly now.

According to the info I found I am supposed to have access to 100 previous selections when I hit the esc key. I am only getting the last 2. I would like to have around 8, especially when I am setting the electrical objects. Is there a setting I need to change?
