capitaldesigns 3 Posted December 12, 2020 I am having a problem changing line colors in the framing plan view. I can change the colors in the architectural plan view but not the framing plan view. I was trying to change the color of an existing line in the framing plan by going through the DBX to change the color of this one line. Nothing changed in the plan. I then tried changing the layers color in the layer display and again it did not change. I then changed the layer color from black to red in the layer display then drew a new line and it still show as a black line. The layer is not locked. Does anyone know why I am not being able to change the line color in the framing plan view? Thanks, Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

capitaldesigns 3 Posted December 12, 2020 I tried both CAD lines and wall, doors and windows. In the framing set I can not change any of the colors. In the architectural set I can changes colors. Where do I toggle on colors ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you sure you're changing the line that you're selecting? In other words... is it possible there's a line below the one that you're seeing on the screen which you're changing, and thus not seeing the change? Use tab select to see if you have two overlapping lines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capitaldesigns 3 Posted December 13, 2020 Sorry about not sending this sooner. I had to jack hammer some footings supporting my wrought iron fence. Tree roots are growing under the footings and pushing up the fence. Got the fence level and the intrusive root out. I just need to re-pour the footings. Here is the plan I was talking about. I can change the colors in the architectural plan set but I can not change them in the framing plan set. Thanks, Mike Houck As-Built.plan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, Mike Houck As-Built.plan Your color is toggled OFF in your "Framing, 1st Floor Plan" Plan View. Just turn it on. You can do this in several different ways.... View>Color F8 key Project Browser>select Plan View>right click>Edit View>check Show Color Edit Active View>check Show Color Use the Color toggle in the Toggle Modes Toolbar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
capitaldesigns 3 Posted December 13, 2020 That worked. I have only used the color button in elevation view when printing the plans. I never used it for plan views before, never had a reason. I must have turned it off accidentally. Thanks, Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
