DGail1 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 At one time, the hinge/swing direction of cabinet doors was displayed in elevation views, but it isn't happening any more. Is there a setting that I need to change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DGail1 Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 It's checked in layer display options, and its set at "point to hinge side" in preferences/Architectural. Is there somewhere else I need to look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGail1 Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Thanks for helping me with this. I couldn't find an answer in "Help". Attached is a plan, and a picture of the elevation (just in case it "works" for you). I'm using Chief Architect Premier 12. opening indicators.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 You must have switched you default rendering technique to Technical Illustration for elevation cameras which does not seem to display Opening Indicators. Switch back to Vector View and you should be fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGail1 Posted February 24, 2021 Author Share Posted February 24, 2021 Yup, that fixed it. Seems strange though...technical view should show technical details...like door swing. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I thought so as well but it does not seem to be so. No harm in making a suggestion if that is your presentation preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnAndrea Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 IT WOULD FIX IT EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT IN A STANDARD VIEW YOU GET ALL THE SHADING THAT YOU CANT TURN OFF. I WANT A BLACK AND WHITE TECHNICAL DRAWING. BUT CAN'T SEEM TO HAVE DOOR OPENING INDICATORS TO SHOW IN THIS MODE. VECTOR VIEW SHOWS THE INDICATIORS BUT THEN I CANT GET RID OF THE SHADING. ANYONE HAVE A FIX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can remove the shading from the materials if you never want to see them in vector view, Vector views display the material patterns. Other wise just turn off the colour if you want B&W.

Vicki17 Posted Thursday at 04:10 AM Share Posted Thursday at 04:10 AM I know this is an older post but it was helpful for me, bc I also didnt realize that vector view is how you show door hinging. I too want a black and white drawing. Can you share how you turn off the color? Even if it is printed in black and white it will still show shading. I guess maybe plot lines? Although I still haven't figured out how to get plot lines bc when I send a drawing to layout, I see the box to check plot lines but it isn't available to check. Thank you!!!

Gawdzira Posted Thursday at 04:57 AM Share Posted Thursday at 04:57 AM You must use the Vector View rendering style for Plot Lines to be available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCooper Posted yesterday at 12:58 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:58 AM There is also a preference setting that controls whether color off is only black and white or shaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
