Add plan guides to doors that do not affect wall opening
Andy Broomell replied to pbat's topic in Architecture
Having exactly two 2D Locus points within the 2D Top component will dictate where the wall in Top/Plan gets cut regardless of other 2D geometry. (I see locus points in your screengrab, so not sure if they're not working or if that isn't your file, but that's the correct idea). You can put the Locus Points on the NonPlot class (and turn off the class) to not see the X glyphs as you're working. -
Along the same vein... I want to be able to create a Section Viewport by cutting across an existing section viewport (like you currently can when creating a Section Viewport from a regular Viewport). There are some technicalities that'd have to be resolved with extents, and with jogged sections, but I'm sure it could be worked out.

shaded renders not looking the same in viewports
Andy Broomell replied to grant_PD's topic in Rendering
Does the viewport have the same RW Background as the Design Layer? That's the only other variable I can think of other than the Shaded settings you've already examined. -
Objects in Hidden Line Renders are Randomly Red
Andy Broomell replied to garrettohler's question in Troubleshooting
I filed a bug on what I believe to be this same issue, and it's marked as fixed in an upcoming Update [Service Pack]. In the meantime, the only override I found was to set my Attributes Palette to a common pen such as black, then use the Attributes Palette flyout menu to say "Set Default Attributes." Then the erroneous linework would be drawn with that black pen. It's definitely a bug - Hidden Line geometry shouldn't ever be directly related to the current attributes in the Attributes Palette. -
Copying the attributes of an object for a new one
Andy Broomell replied to HMichael's question in Troubleshooting
One scenario in which this might be happening is that your Active Class is one that has "Use at Creation" checked, meaning the class's attributes override the current Attributes Palette whenever you create an object directly on that class. For context, the Create Similar Object command (Opt+Cmd+click) just loads the relevant attributes into the current Attributes Palette, but it can't override the function of the "Use at Creation" option. Try using a different class or unchecking that option for the current class. -
ViewBar - allow custom ordering of sections
Andy Broomell replied to E|FA's question in Wishlist - Feature and Content Requests
That dropdown displays and can be used to choose the current Active Layer. The Active Layer could be either a Design Layer or Sheet Layer. If there were two separate dropdowns, I'm not sure how this could logically still function. For now the best you could do is set up two Filters: one that displays only Design Layers and the other that only displays Sheet Layers. -
If you already have a chain dimension, you can right click on one of the dimensions and choose "Edit Dimension." Then in the pop-up window that looks like the OIP, you can type in a Note and have it affect only the dimension you right clicked on. This approach can also be used for Precision and other properties.

VW wrongly tells me classes are invisible when in annotation space
Andy Broomell replied to line-weight's question in Troubleshooting
I don't think the Navigation Palette or Class Dropdown has ever reflected a Viewport's visualities while in Annotations space. Would be a good wishlist item though. And I share the gripe about activating Section Line Instances. Often I will place an instance on a Design Layer then hit activate, but nothing is there. Why can't the Activate button make that class visible too? And take me to top/plan, zoomed in to the Section Line while we're at it! -
I figured it was on their end, thanks for the update!
