I have this ongoing problem with toolbars and I have the standard OOB file locations - ie, everything is on the same drive.

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.

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.

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.

Chopsaw, Yes, I agree with that - the single digit seems to be the key. Metric is usually mm not cm

I edited my post after you posted.

Chopsaw, Seems to work OK here. Maybe a metric thing. Do you want me to send you a plan where it is working?

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.

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.

It is probably better if you post the plan

No point in doing a video - it's instantaneous for me. Do you have .pdf's in your layout?

I would use a second floor (open below) and auto build roof or, maybe this one is easier to understand?

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

Have you read the help file? It is all explained there.

Polyline Specification dbx>Selected Arc panel>Arc>uncheck Automatic Facet Angle>Facet Angle. The lower the value, the smoother the curve.

Extend the wall towards the ridge and then look up "Roof Cuts Wall At Bottom".

Chad, I must admit that I cheated a little. You can't get 2 different callouts in the one schedule. I used a second schedule for the toilets (no title or column headings) pushed up under the sink schedule. You need to assign a different Category to each symbol type on the Schedule panel of the Fixture Specification dbx and then display only one type in each schedule. To keep it simple, I just made the basins Outdoor, but you can create a custom category if you want.

Ed, I am on a mac and am having exactly the same toolbar problems. Is there a similar setting on a mac that could influence the problem that you may want to know about?

Callout Specification dbx>Attributes panel>Callout Arrows>Number of Arrows. You may have to do some of the text manually.

I thought the Truss Base was for drawing over frame trusses, not rafters.

Chopsaw, I have it in the back of my mind that in versions a long time ago, that if you wanted additional angles, you had to select 7.5 as well as enter the additional angle - you couldn't get the additional angle without checking 7.5. So maybe it is a hangover from then because 22.619865deg IS within .5deg of 22.5deg (3 x 7.5). Or maybe I am just remembering incorrectly. Can anyone else remember this?

Ah... You mean more like this? or...

What is stopping you from using Build New Floor?

You can change the default material for psolids at Default Settings>Materials>Foundation/Slab. But it will change the default material for those objects as well - so probably not much help.

Open the Define Material dbx for the siding material. Go to the Material List panel. Change the Material List Calculation to Area. Generate a ML.
