  2. And my italics issues only happens on some layout files and only to some text boxes, not all of them. It's a bit weird!
  3. No I don't, I think you'd need to use a 3d solid for that.
  4. I have a feeling they are both related to bringing forward older files into X15. I copy and re-use an awful lot of files!
  5. I've had other layout file issues, like text printing in italics when it isn't supposed to.
  6. All my plans and layout files are set to 1/50 mm. My typical plan file has Arch D pages set at 1/4" scale. The issue I had was using a 17x11 layout file with a plan sent to layout at 1:200 scale. The layout line weights wouldn't scale. Rather they adhered to the plan file settings.
  7. d) you'll have to manually edit the wall framing in this scenario.
  8. a) the ceiling joists will clip if they are shortened to match the stop point of the top of the rafters for the 36:12 roof.
  9. Are the dormers actually supposed to be separate roof planes? They are very close to the same elevation as the main roof plane.
  10. b) shorten the length of that roof plane at its top. There is no other way to get Chief to model that roof surface differently.
  11. e) open the roof dialog / Options / check Higher Eaves Boxed
  12. Does Layout Line Scaling work anymore? I have a few layer sets in almost all my plans that I print out on different size paper and at different scales than the actual home plans and none of my line weights match anymore. Is anyone else having this same issue?
  13. It might have something to do with everything in the plan being slightly off from accurate.
  14. x15 but I didn't look closely enough to notice that. Whoops...
  15. If you change the roof structure depth to 9 1/4", then select all the rafters, open and close the dialog box without changing anything, they will correct themselves.
