I have now - I must have missed that one.

I think Move To Folders only works with the user catalog. It is working for me.

You can, of course, do this in 3D.

Have a look here. But I guess you are looking for different colors for different framing types.

Try Backup Entire Plan with the Plan Files only and the Zip Archive options.

It should be easy to use auto roofs to do both buildings at once. Auto roofs will build the roof over both buildings. Post the plan.

When you say "images", I am assuming you mean symbols. Do you mean something like this? Start off by using Search. You can scroll down or make the window larger to see more. You can rotate the symbol in the Preview pane.

Select the room and open the Room Specification dbx >Options>Roof Group

As well as breaking the left hand wall try putting each area in a different Roof Group.

Having something wrong with your auto roofs usually means there is something wrong with your walls/ rooms. Post the plan.

Drew, You may be able to use a Wall Material Region with Cut Finish Layers from Parent Object and then locate your corner molding over that. The attached pic is just to demonstrate the technique - you would need to resize and locate as required.

Gene, I don't think it has anything to do with the pony wall. It is a plain old polyline.

As Robert says. Maybe post a typical plan with cross sections and describe what is not working for you and what you would like to see. Someone here will give you some suggestion if you can be more specific.

I am not sure if this helps or not. I used a Corner Board with a Quoin on top.

I think the problem is caused by the lower extension on the 16' dimension is not locating the wall - it is locating a point which means that you probably used the point to point dimension tool.

Rotate Plan View doesn't do what you are expecting it to do. This tool rotates the drawing sheet and everything on it - like snap and reference grids and cartesian coordinates. It does not rotate the plan on the drawing sheet. My advice is to stay clear of this tool unless you really know what you are doing.

Hi Joe, Does this help?

Yes, I agree and have ben asking for this for years.

Here:

Have a look in Preferences>Edit>Snap Properties>Snap Distance What is the distance set to?

I have this if it is any use.

Can you post a simple plan that demonstrates this. I have tried many ways but cannot reproduce the problem.

Maybe not quite what you want, but there are some distressed paint colors in the library.

Create a very thin wall with one layer defined as Air Gap. Draw it at 90deg to the end of the main wall. Put it on it's own layer and hide that layer - an invisible wall won't work.

Because that is how the hatch pattern is defined. You can have 2 different wall definitions with different hatch in each direction, but it hardly seems worth it to me.
