Hi Caitlin, My apologies to you and all of your country. We are trying. There is a control to turn line weights on and off under tools as well as a toolbar icon like Shane said. There is a control for print preview under file > print and an icon as well. Both will turn them on and off while drawing. again, sincerest apologies

Sometimes it's just easier to set the limit on the decking with the straight deck edge and build the rest. Once you make the pieces, copy / paste and the exact placement tools make it fairly simple. You can adjust the grain in plan materials - copy>edit>rename. Change the angle to what you need in pattern And texture.

Metric Plan - Convert Imperial Plan Template?
richoffan replied to sea_lyons's topic in General Q & A
That's just weird. It'll allow the change to the reveal but not the drawer. Sounds like suggestion fodder. -
Metric Plan - Convert Imperial Plan Template?
richoffan replied to sea_lyons's topic in General Q & A
Caitlin, What's your dimension default set to? I have found it will over ride many of the other functions. Try setting that to 1/64 or even 1/128. It can make layouts a little annoying so I'll switch back and forth. -
Metric Plan - Convert Imperial Plan Template?
richoffan replied to sea_lyons's topic in General Q & A
signed an Imperial loving Canadian Despite all the BS - Luv ya Canada......eh Can you just open the dimension defaults and set your secondary format to metric? Or just copy your template and set the primary to metric if you don't want both. -
In defaults>floors & rooms> room labels>text style - change to custom text and check rotate with plan. For correcting without resetting all - group select (either similar items or by CTRL individually select> open transform / replicate and rotate 90° - you'll probably need to adjust location with this one. Hope that helps

Everything Floats Down Here... HELP!!! ME!!! PLEASE!!!
richoffan replied to DriftingNotLost's topic in Tips & Techniques
Ditto what Susan says. The immediate problem is in the terrain spec. EVErything is based off first floor. You can adjust the height of terrain below the first floor subfloor in the terrain specification. Yours's appears to be at the default. Bringing grade to the door sill without a stoop would require alternate construction technique such as reverse brick ledge or joists hung inside the foundation. Many jurisdictions require an impervious pad outside the door.- 3 replies

Sorry - make your stack bond here
-
Have you tried: open the soffit dbx go to materials (think you already changed that to brick) open plan materials, the brick you are using should be highlighted, if not go to it. COPY the material and open to edit. The angle on the first set to come up change to 90. If you want a single brick change to stack bond and adjust size. It can be a pita but sometimes you need to rotate it into place in a 3D view.......

Less convenient than your suggestion BUT a quicker work around is to use a CAD line. Gives you complete control of the line and it can be blocked to the text. Can be on it's own layer also. Just remember to turn off fill pr bring the line to the front:
