Elevations to Layout - Unexpected Lines
X2: New Bug or New Feature?
This is a really simple starting job - sketch of external walls done last week in Chief 10 to establish floor areas for prelim design. Simple wall model at this stage. Little more than 2 floors in Plan and sent to Layout. Works fine in Chief 10; has problems in Chief X2.
The Bug:
Extra lines appear when the elevation is sent to Layout. The lines look as if they are internal edges of the external walls and extend down from ceiling to about half the upper floor height. Walls are very simple 200mm concrete block; only core layers defined; no skins. Metric units.
I have tried every new feature setting for vector view rendering and send to layout and the lines will not go away. Since they don't occur until the view is sent to Layout, they cannot be edited out. Opening the Elevation from layout and the lines disappear again.
Views attached.
Has anyone found a similar problem?
I've had similar problems with drawings created in previous versions.

Ian, I've had interior attic walls bleeding thru and showing up in layout views of cross sections I've sent to layout. Unlike the other reply, I'm used to the phantom boogie lines that show up in 3d and layout views but I'm never anything less than extreamly anoyed when it happens. This recent problem has occured when I'm bringing in drawings from v-10 and previous versions of which I have a few hundred. All I've been able to do is cuss the layout and edit it!!-Sympathies and Regards, Brad
