    What tool did you use to rotate the plan? Rotate Plan View? As strange as it sounds, Rotate Plan View does no really rotate the plan. Better to use Edit Area (All Floors) or another method.

    If I make any changes to any of the cupboards, the tiles on the bullnose section jump around. PS. It's not the edits to the cupboards that cause the material jumping. All I have to do to get the material to jump around is rebuild the model either with Rebuild 3D or Rebuild Walls/Floors/Ceilings.

    My guess is that some of your cabinets are using the default material and some are not using the default material - ie, you have edited the material on some cabinets. You can always select all the cabinets and change the materials to use the defaults.

    Thanks, not my best day!

    I am still not 100% clear about what you want to achieve. It sounds like you want to use an old plan, but use all your new defaults. Here is another guess. Open the plan in X12. File>Import Default Settings Import the defaults from your template plan - you can select the defaults that you want to import.

    What are you trying to do - your post is a bit confusing. Edit area (All Floors) Defaults are saved with the plan file.

    Just to make sure, did you check the Preference setting?
  8. glennw
    I was just about to suggest that you check and make sure that you are using the graphics card and not the onboard graphics. What does Video card Status say (in Preferences)

    You need to cut the existing roof eave overhang back where it encroaches into the new porch. The existing roof eave is preventing the wall from building up - same as the real world. What type of wall do you want - brick for the full width, cladding for part of it. You may have to go up to the attic level and change the wall type.

    Everything seems to run smoothly on my mac with your plan. No slowdown or delay.

    Have a look in the help file for Align Walls.

    You firstly need to create a material from your picture. You then apply the material to an object (like a polysolid) with Stretch To Fit checked) Open the Help file and search for Creating Materials.

    I am not at the computer at the moment, but I think the size of casing that is applied to a mulled unit comes from the first selected window or door - or something like that. Are you saying that if you manually mull 2 windows together (that have different casing sizes), the casing size is different than both windows?

    Newell, Something like this? I am not 100% sure how you want the drive to be - can you elaborate a bit more. What problems are you having with the stair. You may need to move or delete some walls to make room for the stairs. Place and configure the stairs and then fix the walls. Moheb Building GLENN.plan

    It is the room ceiling heights on level 1.
  16. glennw
    They are your Porch (+Breakfast) ceilings. Your ceiling heights are too high and are building above the roof. Lower the Porch ceiling heights, or...raise your roofs.

    Open the wall dbx's and have a look at the settings.

    Ah... Try this one: 1.5-dormerGLENN2.plan
  19. glennw
    Is this what you want? 1.5-dormerGLENN.plan

    CAD>Points>Delete Temporary Points.

    Open the stair room dbx. On the Moldings panel, uncheck Use Floor Defaults. Delete the molding.

    Try doing that with a mono slab.
  23. glennw
    Eric, Good to see your vid. For my example, I use a mono slab, which works a bit differently.
  24. glennw
    Steve, There is another way to do this. Go to the Wall Definition dbx and enter -4" in the Foundation Offset. This will increase the size of the slab, leave the wall where it is and it will not push out the roof. In the plan, you will need to hide the invisible walls and draw cad lines (or some other method) to represent the true size of the slab. I suspect, using your molding method, that in a 3D vector view, you would see the line between the slab and your molding polyline?

    Christina, Try excluding any cameras from your selection and then try Transform/Replicate again. You can just lock the camera layers to prevent them from being selected. You may also have to do a Rebuild, Walls, Floors and Ceilings which I find is needed sometimes.
