MikeBaldus Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I have added posts under an exterior stair landing but I can't figure out how to get them to appear in the elevation view. Help? See the posts and round slabs off the south side of building. BTW I have the display of stairs turned off while I work on the supporting posts. And I'm working in this order because the location of the AC units is non-negotiable but the stair landing can be adjusted so the posts will miss the AC units. After I get the posts located to miss the AC units I will move the stair landing (and adjust posts) as needed. How do I make the posts appear in camera view? Gratefully, Mike 300 Franklin-Proposed.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 When something is not displaying, always check Layer Display Options. If you used a Framing member for a post, they don't show by default in camera views -- except for Framing Overview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBaldus Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Apologies, I should have mentioned that I have "Framing, Posts" turned on in Layer Display Options. Yes, I used Build>Framing>Post to make them so they are framing members. Thanks for the tip, I can see them in Framing Overview. I wonder what the program writers had in mind to allow a user to draw exterior stairways and be able to show the complete picture in elevation views? Any permit official will want to see a drawing of the stairway complete with however I mean to support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Remember that each view uses its own unique set of layers. You will want to set your Layer Display Options for your plan view, and your camera views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBaldus Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Ooh! Major learning moment! I didn't know that! I missed that along the way. I just tried creating a camera view, going to Layer Display Options, and sure enough found Framing, Posts turned off. I played with things, and am happy to see that my display options are saved across all camera views. Many thanks Eric! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
