there is no refresh for plan views that I see. I did try linking and unlinking. no difference.

I would suggest the critical ones are the floor heights, and floor structure depth. once you strat creating rooms and then realize they are off then...well then it takes awhile to make sure everything is correct, plus if you had altered any other elevation dimensions (like the second storey, or terrain, or foundation) they all need to be redone

hmm, not sure if I understand, if I change to a callout in the camera specification it changes to callout on the plan, and then the callout shows up on layout. But if I leave it showing the camera and not the callout, and If i change the layerset to all on, it still does not show the camera on the layout, but shows on plan

I'm trying to show the perspective camera on the plan view in layout, but it will not show. it shows perfectly fine on the plan view in the plan any ideas, seems like a rather simple thing? The normal elevation callouts show just fine. Must be something simple. If I change the camera specification to show as callout it will show on layout, but I would like to show the field of view, and the callout does not shopw the field of view Is this possible (other than "as image")? callout

the other thing is maybe you have something on top of your slab that is 1/16" thick

sometimes I will change the dim to round, if I cant get it right but it is close. so put the denominator to 1/8 instead of 1/16 might "fix" it assuming you do not care about the other dims being to the 1/8th

forgot to state that, I do that as well, the schedules are already on my template plan in a CAD Detail called "Schedules", and my template layout already has the Schedules CAD detail on it. So I dont really do anything to the schedules unless I have to limit to a certain floor. Otherwise they just show up when I print. I also put WxH on the floor plan after the schedule number layout

if small enough (basement plan) I put them on the floor plan. For all others I place them on a seperate sheet

post the plan maybe. did you try the other side of the house

or if you could post a video of the behaviour and/or the plan. I assume you have tried the old reboot your machine

or just hold down the arrow key for 5 seconds, it should make incremental moves . The other thing is things will not move if there is something in the way. you could just put a, say dining room table in the middle of nowhere away from your building on your plan and see if you can move that

i am confused with why would you overlay 3 different foundation plans? Three different versions of the same house?

you might want to post the plan. Does a cross section show the same? Did you rebuild the framing?

or the classic cluge, two layout boxes on top of one another

and then do CAD detail from view. and then paste that over the cabinet outline and turn off the cabinet layer. had to "make parralel" the CAD detail lines though b/c the ortho camera was not perfect ortho w/color off pasted CAD detail into plan view with cabinets off, but dims still on tried a second time and got the ortho perfect. and this time did a p2p move of the CAD detail(after copying and pasting the selected block to the plan) over the cabinets:

I actually have a garmin which will take a photo, you can type in some text,..and might do an audio... and ties it to the GPS position. and then exports it to an excel and has the paths for the pictures. it was pretty slick, but would crash every once in awhile. we surveyed a couple hundred trees and bushes along a river bank and then plotted them in google via KML if i remember correctly. But I have never been able to get my garmins geodetic to match my surveyor determined elevation at my property corner (which is tied back to a fixed marker about 75 feet away that all the surveyors use on my street as their starting point)

I would be interested in perhaps a pre-review as well (i.e. what might be wrong in what they want to do).. I just got caught doing something simple and missed a code requirement which the building department caught, and there are no elegant options to deal with it. If I would have caught it at first review, the customer perhaps might have chosen not to go forward and saved everyone time and money

I assume geodetic? Have you been able to verify it against a surveyed point? how close was it? Because of it was accurate then that could eliminate the need to laser level measure. And if the GPS position measurement was accurate to the inch, then that would be the ticket as one could just walk the property with the apple watch on a 5' stick

if i remember correctly the problem with this is then you are constantly adjusting the elevations. i.e. I want to see how many stairs I can get away with on the bottom or the top. If they are all part of one flight, i can just go change the stair section. If I have a separate landing, I have to move them up and down? not to mention when you move the stairs or resize them the landing resizes differently (which is true for both cases I believe) I have an extreme dislike for stairs, always seems to be an exercise in frustration

make a pdf and send it to him?

nvm, I had tread depth locked. But to get the correct number of winders, one needs to lock "number of treads" if trying to get the three winders on the "landing". "Automatic Treads" does not seem to work This little tidbit seems to be missing from the doc link above ...unless there is some additional setting that alos controls it 30.01.2023_21.33.16_REC.mp4

my non love affair with stairs continues I am following: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00884/creating-winder-stairs.html to try and get 3 winders. It works on the OOTB template(except it reduces to 2), but not my template. When I curve the winder section it refuses to snap to be vertical Tried changing the width to match,I dont see anything else obvious. closest it will snap: I'm also trying to get three winders and not 2 30.01.2023_21.19.40_REC.mp4

well I decided to try out some other things and did get it working such that a, lets call it "initialize filename variable" assignment box is not required on elevations. the filename is required in order to know which roof value to get from which file It does have three limitations that i can see. 1. it uses the default exterior wall label to make the assignment (actually for me I used the foundation wall label, because I always have a foundation) so it you use this label for other purposes, then this will not work (although you could use the roof label if you wanted). I assume these are wall details like Rene showed so I assume it is not applicable to interior elevations. If it was you could add it to the internal wall default label 2. backclipped sections dont have any objects (well sometimes a roof), but no wall, they look to be just cad lines. so backclipped elevations would need the assignment box copied to it if you wanted these macro details there 3. the default labels are only for plan view,, so one cannot offset the label to be lets say, below the house on elevation. Instead one has to either i) set the colour of the label the same as the wall (which is why I put it on the foundation as its always concrete ii) make the text style tiny and transparent or iii) move it manually, but if you are going to do that, might as well copy an "assignment box" onto the elevation video below shows the behaviour. The global variables are assigned on the CAD detail, and then you can switch between elevations on each plan, and the global variable which was last "set" on one does not get shown on the other. It is using a global hash with the filename as the key, so there are two unique pieces of storage for the two values within the hash (essentially an array). And if one ios wondering why an initialization box to set the filename is required...well, it get the roof type for that file I neede the filename, and the filename is stored in a global variable, so itself would ne incorrect when moving to the next file. This means the filename global variable is being updated by the wall label to ensure the retrieving of the values from the hash is using the correct key I thought there might be a race condition problem here where the value gets retrieved prior to the setting of the filename global variable, but so far I have not observed one 27.01.2023_20.59.50_REC.mp4

i typically use dimension lines with a blank line style for plot dimensions, because it snaps to the line. move the line, the dimension changes. move the dimension line (that you cannot actually see, but you can select) and the text moves with it
