That video is exactly what I am needing! Thanks!!

i drew them all separate so that in plan they look like a w-shape, but the one side goes vertically (z axis) and the other side tapers on the z axis. how do i get the one side to taper, but not the other? then for the beams, both sides taper/angle at different angles (roof on one side)

i can make them in p solids but how do you get them to taper? i've never figured out how to angle something like that.

Is there anything in the libray that would resemble a tapered, structural steel column/beam as you would find in a pre-engineered metal building? Or how do I create them? What about girts? Thanks,

ok. the artwork search helped in the knowledge base. that was easy peasy but now it only shows up as a white box in elevation and not the image itself. why is that? works fine in 3D.

i searched but i didn't try 'artwork' as a search word.

I have a client that has a very specific piece of art (a print that is 6' x 3.5') that we are desigining into the house. I have a 2D image of it and I can make it show up in 2d elevations as such, but how do i make it show up in a 3D view? Thanks,

YES AND I FOUND NOTHING

how do I get the clerestory windows to not show up in plan? i put them on a separate layer and turned them off in plan but then it leaves a gap/opening in the wall. and how do i get the one clerestory window to show up in elevation?

i got it...i found some attic walls causing the issue. thanks.

What does this mean and how do i fix it? Why is it that the first truss - the one on the end wall comes in correctly but when copied for the rest of the roof, it doesn't come in correctly. just the end trusses show up correctly. Its on a gable roof. Thanks,

I had tried that - unchecking the "rotate with plan" and it didn't work. After reading your post, I decided to try it again. Now they are rotating with the plan...i don't get it. Must be the day???? LOL Thanks-

they told me that to resolve the problem i would have to just draw the plan rotated. Then I asked about the "rotate text with plan" button and this is what i got in response: That option is there for custom text styles. What you'd have to do is rotate the plan how you'd want it to show on layout and set up all the callouts to use a custom text style. From there you'd want to make sure the text is oriented the way you want it and then turn off the Rotate with Plan then rotate the plan back to how you originally had it. The text should keep this new orientation, which could be used on the layout.

i just updated to x12 2 days ago. I also just uploaded/created a case to the customer support on CA website. Thanks-

I had checked the ALDO and it was correct.

i did try that. as default its checked and still won't rotate it. I tried unchecking it as well with no luck.

i tried that already. it diidnt work.

I have a site that consists of 4 buildings. some of the buildings i have to rotate the layout view to get it to fit on the page. How do i get the callouts to rotate on the plan so that they show up correctly on the layout page? Bus BArn 1, 2 and Shop all need to be rotated in layout view to fit on the layout page. i just upgraded X12 Premier Thanks, 220-0014 Spirit Lake Bus Barn 3-5-20.pdf

Whenever i draw in a frost proof stoop, it creates a room above and then all these attic walls come in and create problems. so if I'm doing something wrong when I create a frost proof stoop, please let me know. It drives me crazy to have these wall show up where i don't want them. then if you delete them, they show up as a regular wall and they never go away.

KBIRD1 - Thank you for this! this happens to me all the time and its enough to drive me insane! i did as you suggested in the default settings (im using x11) and so far so good. Jennifer

haha! yep! thats' what it was. Its in a remodel so i had a room divider there but it was turned off. Thanks!!

I made interior room elevations using the room elevation tool. However, only part of my wall is showing. If i make a room elevation from the other side, it shows up. Why is it now showing up here? thanks- Jennifer Premier X11

I am in the process of switching over to a new computer. I exported my library catalog. and now when I import them into the library on the new computer, they automatically go into the "User Catalog". Is there a way to move them to a different folder in the library? For example, I want to put them in the "Bonus Catalog" folder. There is a cut option but not a paste option when i right click. Thanks-

yes that worked. thank you. i did have to click to not have an apron.
