You don't build a rake wall at your gable ends?

Assuming you won't be platform framing your attic room, I would set your exterior walls to balloon frame on floor 2.

Simple solution, set your unconditioned(interstitial) rooms to default ceiling height. Wouldn't have been able to figure that out without the .plan cape code test.plan

Therein lies my respectful disagreement, I only have one default(anno) set, views are saved with SPV's which save reference displays, which are immensely more powerful than default/layer sets alone. Watch as I draw up a very quick walkout using a template plan with reference displays already set. 200717-05.mp4

@stevenyhof quick and easy to post a .plan and get much better answers...You'll find that many of our resident experts have very formidable screen casting/recording setups and can make very robust videos that cover solutions and best approaches...but we need your .plan file. Make a habit of uploading your .plan for every thread and you will be rewarded, I promise. Simply select and drag your .plan from your Finder/Explorer window into your browser and it will auto load if below 25mb.

I would suggest posting your .plan file I would also suggest inserting a floor for your basement, as it would make a lot of sense in this scenario.

Welcome.

Saved Plan Views work far better than default(anno) sets. Switching works as it should with the added benefit of saved zoom, saved floor and saved references. Are you referring to a dimension modifier or simply a dimension set with 2x arrow/text sizes? Yes you can have two different plan views with their own dimension defaults, 1 with a saved zoom.

@CAmichael240114 Why wouldn't you setup different plan templates for diff scales etc. to simplify your workflow, instead of so many layer sets?...asking for a friend

Your presence in the forums would certainly prove otherwise Spelling it out, I was illustrating a stepped foundation with default wall heights.. You can very quickly make a stepped foundation in chief without manually dragging walls...in fact you can have dynamic control over stepped location if one were to free their mind of floor level associations. You can have an infinite combination of floor levels with options of "floor under this room" designations, balloon framing, and splitting room heights to create all sorts of platforms

Step to this-

Post an example .plan?

...It's only quicker to you

THIS^^ and also, post the .plan!!!

PBR would benefit from an egpu, raytrace would not. Navigation in .plan view could possibly benefit as navigation in .plan uses the GPU.

You could send a plan view to layout and overlay so at least it's automated...I do something similar for my site plans

A bit more clarity and specificity would help us solve this for you, or a .plan file. If I m understanding you correctly, does checking the "Floor under this room" solve your issue?

@Michael_Gia No solution for you though I know the problem. Since framing is not built, nor can it be without being designated as fir framing, the material you have set is in plane with your subfloor and walls. When two materials are in plane with each other they fight to occupy the visual space depending on the camera angle. Somehow you need to force these materials into a different coordinate space to distinguish them. No idea how at first thought.

3d Elevation column needed to be adjusted as it was oversized

You're doing it right, let me login?

@RobUSMC I'd be willing as well, I have my own standards for file management. HERE'S an intro vid. Also in regards to shared libraries, see HERE

@stevenyhof best practices for posting here is to post a .plan file, we're far more effective as a group when we have access to the .plan

Two schools of thought on manually editing wall heights, I'll put one oversized check mark under the "don't manually adjust your walls" column. It causes more problems than it solves in my experience, especially when you're working through design iterations. Also, you might consider making your walkout a floor 1 and leave your stem walls on floor 0. A lot more control that way IMO
