When I publish this layout to pdf and open it in Acrobat Pro, all of the surface textures and colors are bogging down and will not display on the pdf. I have actually had this problem for years, ever since I started publishing elevations with surface texture fills and colors...

I just recently started to use the stair headroom feature to visualize code required clearance. I notice that at the top of the stair the headroom extends horizontally across the top tread, which of course does note meet the IBC Building code, which requires the head room to...

Dave Brach

Thanks Barry, that seems totally reasonable, also less finicky than publishing the trace reference
