Gary_Swanson Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I've looked all over layer display options in x6 and can't find it. I would like to turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kMoquin Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 type "Ceiling Break Lines" in the name filter line and you should see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebdesign Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 If you're opening a plan that was started in earlier versions, that layer may be named "Walls, Beams". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickeyToo Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 The Ceiling Break Lines appear in plan, but are not indicated as being present in Layers (no + sign). I am able to turn them off. Has anyone seen this type of behavior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gawdzira Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Mickey, yes. That is the deal with those things. Those are known as City Hall layers. Don't fight it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 there are several items in the layerset that never get a plus sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickeyToo Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Why and what are they? Is there documentation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Why and what are they? Is there documentation? Mickey: of course not....

MickeyToo Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 OK. So it is corruption at the highest levels is what you are all saying. Is there no one reputable enough to tackle these? These types of things can get very costly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Why and what are they? Is there documentation? Great question, let's see if someone else can help me out here....... let's see if we can name all the layers that don't always have a check mark in the DISPLAY BOX: -CEILING BREAK LINES (already mentioned) -FOUNDATION (definitely a mystery layer) ...... there must me others but they escape me right now......... .... here are two more "mystery layers" that I have not fully understood: -ROOMS -FLOOR SURFACES A couple more mystery layers: -"0" (I am sure there is a reason for this otherwise it would not be there..... but I have not figured it out) - DEFPOINTS (I have never understood this layer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Scott I think defpoints and the zero layers are relics from a previous dwg import in the past, b/c you use the S.A.M. method, they never get erased. I would like to know what that Zero does though. There are a few in the framing section that also don't get a plus sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to know what that Zero does though. There are a few in the framing section that also don't get a plus sign. I think you are correct, maybe I should go ahead and delete them and see if they show up again. Did you see my recent post on GARAGE DOOR WIZARD? I think you also bought the program, I can't believe CA has not somehow implemented something like this in their program. Their selection of garage doors are very limited in CA..... maybe they should buy the program from Kerry and hook it up to CA. Garage Door Wizard has been a god send for me. Problem now is it only runs on a PC and I am on a MAC..... I have a feeling I will never be able to get rid of my PC. Why can't I get rid of the PC? I cannot get rid of PC because: -need to print PDF's on PC (if I print on MAC the PDF is too large to email........ I think with Yosemite, this problem may have been fixed, I will see soon enough -Need to be able to use garage door wizard...... I know.... I can use parallels or boot camp but sounds like a lot of work -To access SAN DIEGO COUNTY GIS PROGRAM, it only works with INTERNET EXPLORER, how lame is that?

ebdesign Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Foundation- Turns the foundation flr display off in any camera, inc a floor camera displaying the foundation flr- nothing there. Patterns, 3D Views is another layer that does not show +. Rooms layer can be locked so that a room cannot be selected, but displayed or not doesn't seem to matter as long as the layer is not locked. Rooms can be selected either way, so don't understand that. Floor Surfaces- I've yet to figure out how to only show the subfloor sheeting in a framing view. "0" & "Defpoints" come from dwg imports of some sort. They're part of most dwgs I get. I always deselect those layers to import if I can.. & they can be buggers to track down & get rid of.

I THINK I AGREE WITH THIS, IF IT IS TURNED OFF, THE FOUNDATION DOES N OT SHOW.... I.E. FOOTINGS...... ESPECIALLY NOTICABLE WITH MONO SLABS Patterns, 3D Views is another layer that does not show +. YEPPERS, A MYSTERY LAYER Rooms layer can be locked so that a room cannot be selected, but displayed or not doesn't seem to matter as long as the layer is not locked. Rooms can be selected either way, so don't understand that. OH, MON AMI, THE IMPORTANT THING ABOUT THIS LAYER IS IT EITHER TURNS ON OR OFF THE ROOM FILL Floor Surfaces- I've yet to figure out how to only show the subfloor sheeting in a framing view. THIS IS SUCH A MYSTERY, ONE DAY I THINK I HAVE IT FIGURED OUT AND THE NEXT DAY IT SEEMS TO BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY..... "0" & "Defpoints" come from dwg imports of some sort. They're part of most dwgs I get. I always deselect those layers to import if I can.. & they can be buggers to track down & get rid of. I WILL HAVE TO CHECK INTO THIS SOME MORE .......................... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich_Winsor Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 A couple more mystery layers: -"0" (I am sure there is a reason for this otherwise it would not be there..... but I have not figured it out) - DEFPOINTS (I have never understood this layer) Those two layers are two of the basic AutoCAD layers. Whenever you open a new drawing (.dwg) file in ACAD it automatically creates layer "0". Once you dimension anything in the drawing ACAD creates the "Defpoints" layer. These layers cannot be deleted in ACAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've read that the Mac division (as small as it is) is one of Apple's biggest cash cows. Why? Because the profit margin on those machines is very high. Translation, Apple is gouging you guys.

ebdesign Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Patterns, 3D Views is another layer that does not show +.

CJSpud Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Jim: You said: "Floor Surfaces- I've yet to figure out how to only show the subfloor sheathing in a framing view." Certainly you didn't mean something like this (?): If not the above, what type of "view" are you talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I can't figure out these: Audio/Video HVAC Plumbing AFAIK, nothing from the CA library or menu uses these layers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebdesign Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Sure, Curtis, that's what I'm looking for. But, this is what I get. 3D Framing Set layer set/ Floor surfaces layer on. When I turn Floor surfaces layer off, no sub-floor there. Got any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure the Rooms layer is turned off, because that will display the floor finishes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebdesign Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Eureka! Good one, Rob. Perfect. Hope it works 100% of the time. Thank you very much. I can quit adding a 3/4" sub-flr sheeting slab now. &........ there's another function of the "Rooms" layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
