You are right. I just always left it on default setting. Learning as I go.

Thanks for your help.

Sorry, a bit new to this process. File was too big and I had to download the Zip program. They are attached now.

I have attached an image of the reflected ceiling plan and layout. The millwork items should appear as dashed lines in the layout.

Adam, thanks for your reply

In Layout I only have Default set as an option. I looked at setting up another layer set but I don't see a way to change individual items like mill-work objects.

I am working on a commercial plan and some objects I would like to appear with dashed outline on the reflected ceiling plan. It all looks like I want it in working plan view but when exported to the layout they come up as solid lines same as are on the floor plan. Is there a trick i am missing? Using X8

Thanks for any replies

Got it. I didn't go far enough into the sub category.

Thanks a bunch

Thanks, I tried that and was able to turn the post to round but on the horizontal the only options were various handrail profiles and not round. i might be missing something. Not super experienced.

I am looking for the typical retail store interior railing and gates. I tried to change up using the railing tool but no success. Any help would be appreciated. Using X8

Yes, I am not on this site all the time. Just found it and tried it.  I never thought to look in Bonus catalogue.

Thank you Chopsaw

Anyone have a wine barrel object? Searched the site but no results

Thank you

I changed the preferences and then it worked.

I am working on a commercial 1 storey interior tenant fit out project and using a combination of CAD sections and CA floor plan elevation shots to create final interior elevations. I do not require a roof or ceiling.

I can not find a way to change the height of one wall without other walls also changing height.

Thanks for any help.

Yes I checked the Archives and it was not there.

I am using X7 and deleted an interior elevation marker by mistake. I tried the restore function but it would not bring it back. I had done a lot of cad drawing on this elevation so I hate to have to redo it. Is it saved some where that I could restore? I looked at the archives file but it was not there either.

Appreciate any help.

What are your settings in the drawing sheet setup?  particularly under advanced line weight options. I use 1:100 and then my lineweights vary between 10 and 100

My setting for layout sheet is 1:700. At 1:100 it gets much worse in terms of contrast between elevations view and plan view..

I tried that Joe and it did change it on the layout print. I changed a base cabinet line weight from 25 to 5 and it looks about right. If go thru and change all objects, walls, electrical etc to different line weights from the default it may work but not something I have ever had to do before. ???

sorry, here is the attachment

Attached is a screen shot of my layout layer set. I appreciate your help on this.

So I use pretty basic tools and the only layer set in Layout is the Default set. In the layer set there are no "objects" in the list that can be adjusted. If I was able to adjust it in the layout it would likely adjust in in floor plan view as well and the floor plan line weights are good. It is only in the section views were the problem occurs.

I went to the section drawing and adjusted some object line weights there and it made a bit of difference but it seems a lot of work to have to adjust all the objects from their standard settings.

I have tried adjusting the line weights from 1-100 to 1-1000 and it does not make a difference when printing the layout. Adjusting the layout line weights just changes the cad lines. I am not familiar with dbx settings. 

See attached elevation pdf and the same file sent to layout. the plan drawing shows up fine on the layout.

I am using x7 and had a recent hard drive crash. I recovered my files and reloaded Chief but now have some problem getting the right line weights when printing layout. The interior elevations are the problem when using a combination of cad lines and objects. The objects are much darker than the cad lines. I was using the default settings and played around with different weights in print setup but can not get it right. What am I missing?

I am looking for someone to make a 3d model of the fireplace mantle I have drawn in 2d. Using X5. I am willing to pay for it.
