HumbleChief Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Wow. I've been working on this for a very long time this morning and for some reason the ceiling height in the main living area shows up about 5 - 6" higher than the second floor floor above in camera view. The ceiling height is set to 97" but in section and camera view it shows up higher than that and the floor above shows as if it's dropping down. I solved it once by replacing the second floor but when I re-opened the file the problem returned. Here's a back clipped cross section showing the higher ceiling, even thought the room dbx show a lower ceiling. and the dbx showing the setting Camera view showing the 2 levels. plan here FLOOR PROBLEM ZIP.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dshall Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Larry, try selecting the entry room, open dvx and then close dvx, that fixed it for me, weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 As always Scott thanks for taking a look. Did it look wrong when you first opened the plan? I REALLY need to know as I think I've snapped. Just now I opened the dbx closed it and it looks fine. Weird is right. Worked on that for hours. Replaced the second floor problem disappeared. Re-opened plan problem re-appeared. I'm sending the file to an associate that knows very little about Chief. Hope it doesn't act up during his presentation. Thanks again.

ebdesign Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Change the cl'g absolute elevation of the front deck to "Default" instead of the 36" or whatever you had & all is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Thanks Jim, I changed the deck default height before and it still seemed to switch back and forth between being OK and not so OK. Could you please tell me if it looked funky when you first opened the plan? It seems like a couple of things 'fix' it but mostly just opening the plan seems to cure it.

ebdesign Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Larry, None of that worked for me.. The plan looked exactly per your images in post #1. In X6, when I changed the cl'g hgt of deck, Chief immediately fixed it. In X5, I had to manually delete the cl'g framing & lose room definition in those 2 rooms before chief got it right. There is definitely something "goofy" w/ the plan though. It was more evident in X5 than X6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebdesign Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Larry, I made the room abv a "Bedroom" (anything other than "Unspecified") & that seemed to work too. In X6. X5 is unbearable- keep looking for the view/window tabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 X5? Larry, Larry, Larry, why no X6? Since I installed X6 I have thrown away the Viagra, lost 20 pounds of belly fat and I have bangs again. People stare at me on the street with jaws agape. I wink and whisper "X6". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share Posted June 10, 2014 Thanks so much for all the help. Goofy plans are my trade mark so I've learned to live with it I have a client who uses and must have the files in X5 - otherwise couldn't agree more with the X6 kudos and recommendations. REALLY hard to go back to X5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
