More likely to be View>Arc Centers and Ends or same thing at Default Settings>CAD>General Cad>Options. Note that these work on a floor by floor basis.

Use a Wall Schedule

I find these 3D people work better than a silhouette. 3D people.calibz

You can also get to that setting through Build>Roof>Edit All Roof Planes>Pitch In Degrees

Kitchen cupboards are one thing I don't have.

I have some Ikea libraries. Is there any particular items you are after?

That is new to X13 - no General section. -
So I guess in the real world, you wouldn't use cables as they won't follow the curve. You would need to use solid round rod which would have to be curved to match the stair.
-
Eric, Exactly what I was going to suggest - pushing out the walls under the gables to give them a reason to be there and have better junctions between the gables and the hip roofs. I would probably increase the pitch of the roofs over the front porch to make it more of a feature.
-
I am guessing that you have changed the pitch of the various roofs to make their ridges the same height. I would commonly not work like that - although there is nothing to stop you designing a roof system using different roof pitches as you have done. In this case I would normally build all the roofs the same pitch (say, 8), and then steepen up the roof that joins the front and back porches to, say 12. It is a good idea to approach the whole design holistically (floor plan and roofs together) instead of designing the floor plan and then trying to force a roof on top. If you can do it, you can control the ridge heights by the width of the building at various locations. Similarly for the rear porch/dining room area, I would try and avoid that nearly flat roof. Similar philosophy if you are wanting cathedral ceilings - you then need to consider them at an early stage. The gable on the front right looks really awkward to me - too steep and doesn't relate to the windows. I will play around a bit more.

I am happy to help with your auto roof. Can you post a floor plan and also post a roof plan indicating roof pitches and where gables occur - this can be a simple cad drawing or hand drawn sketch. Are all areas the same ceiling height?
-
I would let auto roofs do their work on what is really a simple roof. Learn how to set the roof directives in the walls. A lot easier doing this and you won't have to go around and fix these sorts of problems.

You have somehow switched to the Space Planning Configuration. To get back to the default toolbar configuration, right click on a toolbar>Toolbar Configurations>Default Configuration.

Chad, The method of specifying the framing layer changed in X13. Go back to X12 and compare the wall definition dbx with X13.
-
You can edit the Component Names directly in the dbx.
-
My machine is very similar to yours and I am not having any problems so I don't think it is your machine specs.
-
For this door, uncheck Use interior Casing and change the 2 wall stud layers to Framing.
-
Use a standard curved wall, drag the top down and then drag a top corner down. You can also shape the wall top with break points if required.
-
Chiefs shortcuts are really quite flexible. You can use either sequential (up to 4 keys - although I normally restrict myself to 2 keys with a splattering of 3 keys) or simultaneous shortcuts - (which I never use because I can't stand the physical manipulations involved in pressing 2 or more keys at the same time). Or, you can even do a combination of both, so that in the example above for Multiple Copy, you could use M,C,Shift(hold),W. This means that you can hit M, hit C, hit and hold Shift while hitting W. I am not quite sure when you would use something like this, but it is available in needed.
-
You also have a Flat Region floating out in space.
-
I always draw the terrain larger than the plot and then draw the plot as a thin Terrain Feature- this gives room to move around the outside of the plot. You have a lot of Elevation Lines on the DTM_DTM-01_contours layer. They are running through the elevation regions which causes a lot of conflict. You need to break/edit/delete the elevation lines so they don't run through any Elevation Regions. You really can't show existing and finished levels on the one terrain model.
-
Don't overlap elevation data. I give my elevation regions a light transparent fill - different color for each different height. That makes it easier to keep track of things. Post the plan

Above grade crawlspace...best way to address using CA
glennw replied to MJanelleQ's topic in General Q & A
Without knowing too much about your building, or local building practices, I would look at the possibility of forgetting the crawl space and investigate splitting the mechanicals in the roof or finding another way to handle it such as bulkheads, ducts, etc. Around my area, this would be the method to use and would save a huge amount of money by not building the crawl space floor.
