My apologies to Mr Potter, his analysis of the problem was exactly right.  I was looking at the 3d pattern layer which was already black.  The line color of the material was white.  I just didn't know how to dig that deep at the time, but I do now lol.

Thanks for the help

Jake

thanks for the suggestion, but pattern lines are black. Any other ideas?

Why would my brick not show up on elevations?

Thanks

I opened a plan done in x5 in x6.  The fraction are shown as numbers.  I've had this problem before about a year ago and ya'll help me find the setting to fix it, but I think it was in old forum and can't get the answer .

thanks

Ok thanks for you help guys.  When I get home I'll try it out.

I suppose I was too vague.  I'm simply trying to delete one side on a four sided polyline.

Thanks

Jake

This is probably very simple but I'm stuck.  In Autocad at polyline  rectangle can be exploded to lines with the explode command.  I can't seem to do this in Chief.  

Thanks for help.

I found what I looking (show on floor below button) after selecting 2nd floor planes.

Duh must be time for a break.

Thanks

Jake

Builder wants the first and second floor roof planes shown together.  I have seen it done on a video, and have done myself in the past, but the method escapes me.

Thanks

Larry Brown's video on his web site has a very detail tutorial on soldier bricks.  It was done in ver 11 and when I made in x5 and tried to apply it to new plans they looked like the thumbnails above.  I posted the plan in the old forum and got a few suggestions.  Seems like Jintu told me about adjusting the casing depth, and it helped a little. 

I sold the project and moved on.

I had the same problem when I created a brick molding using the methods used in older versions.  You make it look a little better by adjusting the casing depth.  If i'm not mistaken I think the method some are using now is to use a single brick and motor symbol as a molding instead of repeating a group, of them.  I hope this helps
