I know the wall placement will move the birds-mouth cut horizontally, but what is the software referencing for the width of the cut? I did not have the software automatically generate the roof framing; I built homes for over 30 years and just don't like how it places some things and it is easy for me to job place what I want and where. I know it isn't based on the wall width; maybe I will just make a rafter end and cut it down to 3.5 and ignore the difference? thanks in advance... Rob

Perfect. Why I didn't see that as an option has me confused. LOL

When looking at an elevation though the overhead door, the door itself is inside the jamb, which would make it really hard to move up, LOL. The door panels need to be behind the jamb. Is it possible to "move" the door towards the inside of the building 1-1/2" and leave the jamb flush to the inside of the wall? When building here in SW Washington Coast, the overhead doors have a jamb that is the same size as the door, usually of 2x material that extends out past the exterior siding, and ends flush with the drywall on the inside of the wall. Then the door is placed up against the jam so it can go up the track, which is also placed on the inside face of the wall. Do I really have to build the door from scratch?

Update: Should have stayed in bed today as apparently the file that I though I had saved didn't or at least it is lost somewhere I can't find it; not even on my online backup is it any good. Hell of a way to find out that the "new" way of saving files isn't any better than the old way. I just had a power spike and I have a battery powered backup and I thought I had the time to save the file I was working on, but after restarting the computer I got something about a corrupt file when I went to open the project. Then I spent a few minuets looking for the file which I usually saved in a directory I made under the client name. I did find the files eventually, but now I need to figure out how save the last non-corrupt file as the project. What a pain in the ass to have to do this on the fly; I'm just about ready to go back to V15 and redraw the home (not really). Someone just tell me from opening up the file how to save it as the "project." I expected a "save as" option, but I guess we don't get to pick where anything is done these days.

I have Ubuntu 14 on my laptop and it sure would be nice of CA would come out with a compatible version! I had Windows 10 on my laptop and I'm not a fan. You have to run so much crap to just 'feel" safe. So far Ubuntu is working great for me (other than no CA for it), and as far as AV I just put a few addons to Firefox and watch what email I open so no need for AV. I guess what I am trying to get across here is that CA needs to think about making a version for Linux!
