How do you control the color of the door jambs?

Whats Dorothy's method?

Following Scotts pre-dawn user meeting (I did not attend), there was talk of "Dorothy's method" of changing wall definition line styles. "Dorothy's method" is really nothing extraordinary; It simply references the way she sets up her walls to show in plan view. Playing with those settings would have possibly resulted in what you had. So, the timing of your question led me to guess the connection, that is all.

Yea, I thought Scott would have a video out hours ago.... Maybe we should switch the topic to golf???

I have been playing golf with the 167 year old JC, and he is still kicking my a**,

Ok, this zip file (X5) contains the answer to the puzzle.

You don't have to open it if you still want to figure it out on your own.

Happy Holidays.

Thanks Dave, but to be blunt, this is pretty useless for me because it depends on defining the wall line colors per wall type AND NOT BY LAYER. Since I control my wall line colors via the layer, I can never use this if I wanted to. What is interesting is the BREAK/JAMBS or whatever you want to call it, is controlled by the layer, but the rest of the wall line style/color is predefined per the particular wall.

As a side note, I am not sure if this is one of YOUR standard walls, but if it is, you do understand that you are not able to control the different line wts and colors by layer............... you have them fixed............ I believe this is correct............... you might consider allowing the layer to define the wall line colors, style and line wt.

Anyway, I am babbling on as usual.............. please ignore my blather.

Curt,
You are the man when it comes to solving complex problems. This is so easy, perhaps that's why it's eluding you. Think in terms of 'layers' and then you will 'not' be in a 'jamb'.

And I thought it had something to do with the 'Wizard of Oz'... !

Dave,

Dang, you let Scott off the hook...

Merry Christmas to all!
