  1. You may have to do something like this with short walls at 90deg to the visible walls.
  2. Chad, I would just open the older plans in X12 and then save. That will bring in all the defaults from the older version. I think that copy/paste may not be the best method
  3. It is clearly explained in the help file
  4. Multiple select the walls and mark them as Roof Cuts Wall At Bottom is an easy way to do them.
  5. Rich, He is asking for this. Your answer applies to toolbar buttons.
  6. Doable with either a double stud wall or single thickness stud wall. I used a "placeholder" symbol with Inserts Into Wall, and used that for my wall opening. This pic has the plasterboard lining deleted using the Delete Surfaces tool.
  7. Ah, I just re-read your OP. I missed the CMU wall and used a framed wall instead. It should still work I will do another and repost with a pic and any changes. I assume you will have 2 layers of framing for the opening in the 8" wall? Or would you use 8" framing?
  8. Try using the frameless Passthrough, but instead of using a Material Region to fill the opening, use a wall, just as you would build it in RL. Draw another wall of the same wall type off to the side. Mark it No Room Definition - this allows it to be placed in the same location as the main wall. Make it the same width and height as the opening. Drag it into position to fill the wall opening, it should snap into position in the main wall. Adjust size if required. It will auto frame. If you need to rebuild framing elsewhere but want this infill framing to remain as is, check Retain Wall Framing.
  9. First, the obvious question... Do you have the pony walls aligned on the correct wall layer - Inner Surface.
  10. You can also do this by Edit>Reset To Defaults>Wall Bottom Heights
  11. Either (1) a change in floor level or (2) going from an internal room type to an external room type.
  12. No files on the cloud and still having problems.
  13. I have this ongoing problem with toolbars and I have the standard OOB file locations - ie, everything is on the same drive.
  14. Have a play with a curved wall, the Winders setting and the Flare/Curve Stairs tool. It may not do exactly what you want, but may get you close.
  15. That is exactly how I have mine setup - this is an oldie. You can add whatever horizontal moldings you want, independent of the balusters. Doing it this way allows for a bit more flexibility as it allows different rail sizes and profiles for as many rails as you want. This one has 3 moldings - 1 for the balusters (a Symbol Molding), one for the top rail and one for the vertical top rail.
  16. With this one I mulled 2 doors together - top to bottom. A 3 panel door with glass panels at the top and a single panel door with no glass at the bottom.
  17. Chopsaw, Yes, I agree with that - the single digit seems to be the key. Metric is usually mm not cm
  18. I edited my post after you posted.
  19. Chopsaw, Seems to work OK here. Maybe a metric thing. Do you want me to send you a plan where it is working?
  20. With Child Tool Palettes a double click opens the Child Palette and the Default Settings dbx from which you need to select Auto Exterior Dimensions.
  21. I think it may depend on whether you are using Drop Down or Child Tool Palette. It looks to me like Steve is using Child (on the left hand side of screen) and Michael is using Drop Down? Works for Child but not Drop Down.
  22. No point in doing a video - it's instantaneous for me. Do you have .pdf's in your layout?
  23. I would use a second floor (open below) and auto build roof or, maybe this one is easier to understand?
  24. OOB line weights are based on the Rotring pen sizes. A Rotring pen size of 0.25 is a line weight of 25 A Rotring pen size of 0.70 is a line weight of 70 A Rotring pen size of 1.00 is a line weight of 100 ...etc
