PitMan71 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Try bringing the beam to the same stack level as Joists (17). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneDavis Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago It's not doable in Chief, so I uncheck label in the beam's DB and write a label manually. For me there aren't that many beams in a floor plan, and I like to add "FLUSH" or "DROPPED" in the label. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I thank you for trying! I feel your pain, I lightened up the line thicknesses and made the floor joist fill colour more transparent, while making the bearing beam label text dark and bold. It's not ideal but it got me closer to desired end result. I also make the beam appear 'different' from a solid item like a wall - dashed lines with white fill. Hope this helps until CA makes it change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
