Do you mean like this?

Larry, Are you talking about a sill that cuts into the brick skin of a brick veneer wall rather than sitting on the face of the brickwork (that is easy to do)? Is there any significance in the window being double hung?

They look like ceiling tiles to me.

Can't you use the Bottom Component Size to adjust the top and bottom sash sizes?

I just started having a play with this one and I was using walls - not polysolids. Only thing is, I used walls that are 1layer (stone) and 1mm thick and used them to draw the outside surface of the actual walls. This means that it is very easy to control things like second floors, heights, invisible walls, materials, openings, foundations, etc. I just did this in the last 10 minutes to see how it would work. The shaded "walls" are actually rooms defined by the 1mm thick walls. This is the smaller structure built with all walls as well

You don't shape the side of the wall, you shape the bottom of the wall. Create a new short wall that extends out to the fascia, drag the bottom of the wall up and start shaping it. The bottom of the wall becomes the underside of your curved corbel. The big drawback is you can't shape it into a proper curve. What I did was draw a circle to the shape, placed break points in the wall and then snap the break points to the circle.

OK, I guess a reboot wouldn't hurt.

Chopsaw, So how do you resize a tiled window? In this case, I have to have at least 2 windows tiled vertically (side by side)

That is normal behavior. The double arrow allows you to drag the window edges to resize tiled views. When you see the double arrow, it means you are at the edge of the window - click and drag and see what happens.

In that case you can use a wall and shape it in an elevation view in the same way as shaping the polysolid.

Is the corbel thin like a wall (like the pic below), or does it run all the way along the wall like a frieze? I used a wall to do this very quick one.

There is a Leader Line default at Preferences>Appearance>Text>Leader Lines>Number of Segments. Or you can use a Text Line With Arrow and draw it in Continuous Mode (right mouse button) and draw as many segments as you want.

Have a look in the help file for Auto Archive and Auto Save Files. To find the location of your Archives Folder go Preferences>General>Folders>All Program Paths>Show>Archives Folder

I can duplicate this. Looks to me like you have dropped the floor -4" after you placed the slab footings. Check the floor heights in the foundation level because that will be supplying the floor for the room above. That would also explain the window height change. You are dimensioning from bottom of window to top of stem wall. Drop the floor -4" and the windows move down to follow the floor - hence the distance from bottom of window to top of stem wall reduces by 4".

This is auto built - so turn on auto build roofs and split screen plan and 3D view so that you can see what is happening. The trick is to use a double pitch for the shed roof. Break the right hand garage wall at the back of the garage. Make the rear section of wall a full gable. Make the front half of the wall a hip, pitch 3:12, Upper Pitch 8:12, in from baseline 230" (you may have to adjust this value so the that double pitch roof meets cleanly with the main gable roof). Make the front double garage wall full gable, the small return hip wall and the front wall to the single garage a high shed/gable wall. I would juggle things to get rid of the jog in the main ridge - maybe change some wall locations slightly.

Are you using a Floor Overview camera with Show Lower Floors in Floor Overviews toggled off? The garage floor is normally supplied by the floor below. Or is it a layer display problem? Is the Slabs layer turned on?

Larry, i think the reason for the messed up walls in your original plan is the different faceting between the curved roof edge and the curved wall. The curved wall is a lot smoother curve than the curved roof edge. This is causing the curved roof edge (made up of straight sections) to cut into the wall layers.

Lew, In that case you are using the wrong tool. Auto Rebuild Roofs is the wrong tool to use. You need to use Build Roof Planes with Retain Edited Automatic Roof Planes checked. This will auto build auto roofs, but leave your edited auto roofs as is. If needed, you can also manually mark an auto roof plane as Mark As Edited - it then acts as a manually drawn roof plane. Then, if you use Build Roof Planes with Retain Edited Automatic Roof Planes toggled on, the roof plane will be retained.

Delete all the roofs. Set up the roof parameters in the roof defaults and walls. Designate the roo on the left as Roof group 1. Auto rebuild roofs. It shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes - this one took me 3 minutes.

Probably a good idea to make sure that Use File Locking is toggled on as well.

I agree, just auto build all the roofs - very easy. Set up the auto roof build parameters in the wall dbx (Roof panel) that the roof is built off.

Chopsaw, Yes, I deleted my first post that described and showed exactly that, but then on re-reading the OP message, I figured what he wanted. There will be some cleanup with the heights. May be better to stick with the 90x90 and draw a line down the middle and copy that.

Rob, What I did was open the wall detail, select all the studs, copy, started to drag along the wall. hit Tab and entered 45. You could also use multiple copy - there is even a separate spacing for wall studs.

A few more details would help. Once you select the wall, the Break tool should be on the Edit toolbar.

I would use an object that is easy to dimension to in an elevation view - like a polysolid or box.
