  1. To elaborate, settings in the Pattern panel only affect vector views and hand-drawn lines. So placing a "grid, offset" instruction there has no effect on the raster (realistic) views.
  2. The 3D image is using what you see in the Texture panel's Texture Source area: the image file isn't a grid arrangement, it's one single rectangle. You'll need an image of the tile in a grid arrangement for the 3D to look right. There are no settings in the Texture panel to create a grid pattern, since it simply uses a static picture file which it can't modify.
  3. It's not because the material regions are connected, it's because material patterns and textures use the same offset settings, meaning the same location reference, for every instance. If you need to control the pattern and texture locations separately for different areas, you'll need to copy the material for the different areas and adjust the offsets.
  4. When you paste, use Paste Hold Position (Edit > Paste > Paste Hold Position) while places the object at the same X, Y position.
  5. You can do the same thing in 2D using an orthographic full overview camera, set to Top View with cross section slider set midway to the doors so the door swings show. And poche the walls: But it's not a Plan View, so doesn't show dimensions and annotations.
  6. Open the Room specification and check Build Foundation Below:
  7. Shane is right, it appears to be caused by the open below room. Not sure what's going on but the easiest way I found to fix the brick was create a 0.1" width "room" next the the exterior wall, and turn off the room label:
  8. Defaults = project based Preferences = application based
  9. Works for me. Since you say you've checked your settings, you must be missing something. Are you using a layer set that shows framing members? Did you rebuild framing after changing any settings? You would get a quick accurate answer if you posted the plan file, instead of guesses. Out of the box X17, with proper framing and display settings:
  10. If they are simply blocked solids, they're probably still getting their line style info from the 3D Solids layer. Try changing it there. Or you could make them a symbol then the layer settings are more straightforward.
  11. One method is to edit your screen material to have a white color in the Pattern panel, which is used in elevation (vector) views. Open the door object and access the Materials panel, then edit the screen material's Material Color to White in its Pattern panel: Your color editor may look different:
  12. Draw a railing manually, place in position and check "Follow Stairs." Adjust as needed:
  13. If you make the short wall under the roof the same wall type, brick 6 LBTL parapet, and get rid of the insulation air gap layer in that wall definition, it fills in:
  14. Ah. Yeah I would like to have control over that line style. I would prefer to always see a solid line there, not the dash. No way to change the automatic line style behavior. Separate control of the CL text would be nice too.
  15. Yes, uncheck Mark as Centerline: The size is controlled by the text size of the dimension text. So yes it can be changed but all other dimension text will also change.
