2000' down and to the left. You'll need to establish reference points to move it all back into place.

2nd floor walls aren;t gone, they've just been moved to way the heck into nowhere.

Insulation fill isn't a pattern, it's a cad box. You'd have to manually draw a box over every wall. Better to use a separate pattern. You're on the right track to keeping it simple.

Don't do it. It doesn't belong there. But if you're going to anyhow, use a cad insulation box .

Convert your railing to a symbol, then spin it in the "open Symbol" dbx.

It looks like your displaying the 'standard' rendering technique. Switch to 'vector view'.

I thought the 1" grid would show up better in my screenshot so that it would be a bit more obvious as to the size. 6" diameter. Hope that helps.

They're the same thing, just labeled differently.

Alright then... never done that before and I wasn't sure if it exported the library object, or the whole library. Here they are. Easy enough to edit using Chop Saw instructions. COSD.calibz SD.calibz

I've got a customized COSD and SD symbol. Perfect for 1/4" scale. I don't know the easiest way to share it though...

So what does the architect do?? That explains the autodesk reference file you had open. Looks like Michael will take care of you. Good luck.

I hear you. Curious...if there's an architect...what are you doing? Do you work for him/her?

And maybe a gable over the middle garage door? The roof sloping down over it doesn't leave space for a header, and it doesn't make much sense to have a roof eave extending lower than the top of a garage door right?

And you probably want boxed eaves right? Flush to the gable? Check those boxes too. Then rebuild roofs.

Just change it to a gable wall. And turn off auto roof returns for that wall.

Like this?

Rocky, ever thought of creating your own layer set or annotation set just for working on roofs? It'd be a huge help and is really quite simple. Just copy a layer set or annotation set, rename it, then turn off everything you don't use or want to see. Lock everything else that you don't want to accidentally select or change when working on the roof.

If manually, pay close attention that you are dragging exactly along the outside of the main layer of your exterior walls. Gotta keep that roof plane's baseline parallel.

And drawing roof planes manually? Or using the 'build roof planes' tool?

I can make a roof weirder than that as long as I keep my eyes closed! Are you drawing the same plan in 2 different programs? Or just referencing the autodesk file?

In Chief Architect? Outsourcing...I like it!

Just tried it again using Windows 10 Display settings. No blurriness this time, because I'm an idiot. I thought before that the toggle button for "Fix scaling for apps" was on but it wasn't. It did mess up the way some of my text was displaying in plan view but easily fixed. Some CAD symbols with text however needed to be adjusted. This is a true sign of aging...needing the font bigger and then not knowing how the computer settings work. Yikes! Thanks for the suggestions, Mick.

Interesting. Higher resolution monitors may be the answer then (more $...YAY). I did try re-scaling the font using Windows settings and everything in Chief ended up blurry, even after signing out and letting Windows try to fix the blurriness.

I don't know of any place to control this. Seems like it'd be in "preferences"...
