You have your sub-floor and flooring layers checked as framing. Open the floor structure tab and uncheck the FRAMING box for those layers.

Those borders don't automatically update to the paper size, you need to manually adjust those.

Zoom in to the top of this plan pic...

Change the label of that view.

I send my views as "plot lines". I can manually adjust each and every lineweight (when it cooperates), but what I can't do is tell the system that I want all cut lines to be bolder. I'd have to modify it every single time, and if I refresh it, I start from scratch. There has to be a better way. 

You need to set up a layer set for those interior design shots. You have more control over those lines with a dedicated layer set for your interior elevations.

In X15, I personally have noticed, that for balconies and decks if you move a wall during the design process it will delete all framing and flooring in those said spaces. Hit the REBUILD framing tool and see of that works.

Not really. Multiple walls can't exist in the same location.

Will STLYE PALLETS help with exterior colors?

when generating

How are you generating? You should be able to simply draw the new foundation walls and not effect anything else.

I’m starting to get very disappointed in CA. They are money hungry.

 

 I just finished my 22month rent to own “grandfathered” as they no longer will allow you to buy your licensee out right.

 

To answer your question you are now being charged yearly. Since you upgraded. You lost your license when you did that! fyi, be mad, absolutely absurd!

 

To answer others about SSA. This Doesn’t exist unless grandfathered in, but if you cancel your SSA at anytime you will never be able to get it back. Even if your “grandfathered”. So no more updating if you choose that route. 

 

All this is them using all their resources to ensure you pay a fortune yearly as a subscriber for CA. They know most will just keep dealing with the price, so they will continue down a power trip until we as consumers speak up and leave. Plenty other great programs that do the same and better without this foolishness

 

I literally have no words...well, except for those...

Line types...

Create with your mouse. 

We are all assuming you can draw the walls, so I don't really understand the question. You simply drag the walls where you want them.

You won't be able to beat 2020 for ordering and having up to date pricing.

You won't be able to beat Chief Architect for quick design and rendering. 

It's a fine line....

Did you start with rafters then change to truss? Looks like you didn't make the adjustments (as Perry stated above) once you moved from rafter to truss. 

Molding polyline.

Just add a custom column in the schedule. Simple as that.

Thanks Michael,

You missed the subtle image difference.  The X-Bracing is good in terms of putting something between the floor trusses, but take a good look at it in 3d, you'll see that there is NO thickness to the actual X members.

FWIW Trusses wouldn't use X bracing, they would most likely require Strong-Backs.

polysolids.

Grab one of the dim strings and hit delete. There should be a warning box that pops up letting you know that you are disabling that feature, simply hit YES. As for turning them off in your template, go to the dimension defaults and turn off auto refresh for that feature.

I don't do a ton of slabs, and while this phenomenon isn't new per say, I have noticed it a lot more in X15 than in previous versions. 

Just export the plan as a DWG. Just a couple clicks.

What's the best way to add molding to a wall

With the molding tool. There is one for 3D molding line, and one for 3D molding polyline.

ZOOM. No model sharing unless via the Chief online viewer.
