Jo_Ann Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I think you changed the line color for "fixtures" in the display options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Select one of those sinks in the library, right click and choose Export Library. Attach the file that's created. Use Edit Area to marquee around the kitchen, copy and paste into a new plan, save and attach it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDay1 Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 Hi Jo-Ann and Solver, I've attached two snips... one shows by display options for Fixtures. The other shows the sink in the library... but when I right-click the sink I do not get a "export Library" option. The snip shows the menu I get after right click.

You can also just attach the entire plan file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoDay1 Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 It's larger than 14 MB. Am I doing something wrong that my plan file is that large? It is set in a Terrain that is nearly two acres... would that effect the file size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand No. Make a copy and delete the terrain -- basically anything other than the kitchen. Zip it if it's still too big.

BoDay1 Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 So weird... as soon as I delete the terrain the purple disappears... It doesn't disappear if i simple hide the terrain... but if I delete it the purple is gone. I've attached two zipped files. The "Floor Smaller" is the plan without terrain and without purple. The "Facade One" should have the terrain and the purple. Thank you, Bo Aguilar Proposed Floor Smaller.zipFetching info... Aguilar Proposed Floor Facade One.zipFetching info...

BoDay1 Posted October 5, 2023 Author Share Posted October 5, 2023 Of course I can easily simply create a file without the terrain and work on that... I really only need all that terrain for my plot plan... But I guess I'm curious as to why the purple appears when I am working in a large terrain.

BoDay1 Posted October 6, 2023 Author Share Posted October 6, 2023 Thank you for taking that time to explore this. I'm afraid it may have been caused by some hardware problem with my machine. The purple halo was present for two days as I worked. Today as I fire up my computer to get back to work the halo is gone without doing anything. I apologies for asking for software help when my issue seems more likely to be hardware at this point... perhaps my graphics card is struggling and the particular type of line around the sinks triggers a difficulty. Once again, thank you for your time and expertise. Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
