Thank so much for your help..... you are appreciated by all! Fortunately, I have used my work arounds to make the plan come together to send to layout. BUT. there definitely is and issue with that pesky Attic wall.....

Steve, Thanks for all your work on this and the tips, but the issue remains with the rafter notching by an "attic" wall on the second floor.........this is a 3 d framing shot of your "fixed plan". The other side did set the rafters to the plate, but the wall in the open below needs to be framed up to that. In my previous plan I was trying to break the wall at the second floor where the floor platform was and just balloon frame the open below areas , But when I selected and changed the broken wall to balloon framing, it automatically changed the entire wall and removed the break.... So I just edited it in wall framing view. The nuisance attic wall is a pain and keeps notching the rafters. The only way I could fix it was to make the attic areas and the open below(second floor) ceiling heights to 1 1/2" to have the rafters not be notched.

I had to make the attic room height 1 1/2” as well as the second floor open below area to have the rafters rest on the 2x6 plate on the deck of second floor and the top plate of the open below area……crazy crap…..

got it finally.... I had balloon framing on before, but it wasn't doing what I wanted. Now it is...

Ok but did it take care of it for the open below area? Because those walls need to be framed up to the 119 3/8'' floor height of the second floor plus the 1 1/2" plate. The rafters still notch and don't rest on the plate like they are supposed to.....

When I first built this test model, I just built the entire second story , build roof to ignore second floor. added 1 1/2" to the deck height for the 2 x 6 plate. Auto build the rafters and all was good. But some condition made the stupid attic wall to cause the notching in the rafters..... this is killing me.... cripes.

Now these are notching at over the knee wall...... but only on the one side.... Can't figure out what is causing it...

Well, changing to "no room definition" takes care of the rafter notching by upper wall, but causes other issues with rooms.... I tried the framing off. Does not work. If that above is supposed to be showing that those are attic spaces. I had them as such, but that is not relevant to the issue of the notching from the stupid little attic wall..... this is a pain. I posted the second model I was using as test. It has one side with the deleted framing and the other with the framed small attic wall in the way of the rafters...... Moller NP Shed.plan

I don’t know why that small wall generates there if the rafters are placed there. I had it at one point but something changed and it started cutting the rafter bottoms……

The “small attic wall” still cuts the rafters

Issue resolved. The rafters in my plan were to set on the second floor deck , on a 2x6 plate. The outside walls were generating a small attic wall and framing it which caused the notch in my rafters. Even with the framing deleted it kept the notch in the rafters. I changed the second floor walls to “no room definition” and it resolved the issue. But the room now doesn’t show a floor surface in 3D so I had to make a polyline solid sheet of plywood.

no its not that, I have rebuilt everything. I resorted to just build a new building with a full upstairs and deck with no knee walls. It was strange because it was only on the one side. The small attic wall that builds where the rafters sets builds framing also. I tried all the balloon wall settings but can't get rid of them.. I'm simply deleting them in wall framing view... The rafters auto built fine after I started fresh. Just putting all the other stuff in now,,, open below, adding dormer, and stairwell.

I put it on my dropbox , but don't know how to make the link ....

I have a building that has the rafters being notched by apparently a floor platform. However there are inconsistencies because it is only doing it on one side of the building. I have manually drawn the rafters because the auto build wasn't doing what I wanted and I had the same issue with the notching of the rafters. It was happening over the knee walls in the attic space as well. I thought manually drawing them would fix the issue. It only did on one side......I would post the plan but they now limit it o 14mb.... The plan is a very small shed... I don't know why they are limiting now.. this stinks.... Thanks

It worked perfectly. Thanks. How did you figure that out? Just tinkering around for awhile?

I have a deck that I need the ledger to hang off of the foundation wall. When the deck (invisible railing) is drawn it combines itself with he stem wall. Is there an easy way to fix this? I can manually manipulate the framing, but the deck planks are a pain to get right. Then I have to fill in the part of the stem wall that disappears with the slab or poly line solid when the framing is pulled out to the outside to make it look right.

WOW, THANKS GUYS..... GLAD IT IS SIMPLE... THOUGHT I WAS GOING CRAZY.... HA HA

Anyone have this happen? I have an addition and the auto generated floor is putting 3/4" I-joists on top of my 9 1/2" I-joists. The 3/4'' ones are osb material, like they are the floor sheathing but stacked up as I-joists on the I-joist that are supposed to be there... Never had this happen before in 17 years..... Also, when I check floor surfaces, the sheathing doesn't show up.... its like the stacked I-joist ARE the floor surface... but ARE I-joists if you select and open them....crazy and frustrating PITA c/a Parham-Krois Addition.plan

Why does text from Story pole dimensions generate at Rich Text when sending an elevation or cross section view to a CAD detail? It's a pain to have to edit it after sending to a CAD detail view. I can't see where to change it in settings for Cad detail.

Probably simple but I can't get it to go away..... It it a balcony over a room below. No floor below selected. Does nothing it floor below is selected Thanks Rob X13

he said the wall flipped but is not displaying correctly now......but it did correct the connection issue....

I will delete all my old versions off of my computers. That is probably the issue.... do some machine cleansing.....
