jennyultimate Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Hello again. I know this seems like a silly question but I am starting a new plan (after learning on a really difficult project with a dodecagon shaped house), and I was looking forward to doing something simple. So I start drawing my new walls, in a new plan, and I don't get the temporary dimensions as I am drawing walls. I may have made some changes in the other plan, but to my knowledge, never to the preferences, only to the (plan specific) defaults, so now that I am starting a new plan, should it not be as it once was? I am using x6 and when I first started, the temporary dimensions were there. I have checked all my defaults, looked in the manual, and looked for any current videos that might explain why they are gone, but I can't find any cause. Please help.

BryceEngstrom Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 You can just turn them on or off via the button in the attached screen capture. I can't remember if it comes this way OOB, or if you have to add the button to your toolbar manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennyultimate Posted July 23, 2014 Author Share Posted July 23, 2014 Thanks Bryce. But I tried that. I had to reset the preferences to default to get the temp dimensions back. But then I lost some of the customizations I created. Once I did that, I had the ability to turn them on or off randomly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilgoreTrout Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Walls also have their own setting for temp dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcaffee Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I just experienced this on a mature plan (Lots of objet and materials in play) while using the Wall Material Region tool. I fussed with settings for about 2 minutes, then saved my work and rebooted. Like many things w/CA, if you do a memory dump via reboot, all will be right with your plan--and so it was. jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BryceEngstrom Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Come to think of it, I think this has happened to me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
