I dont use the plan database, but I always save a thumbnail of the plans so that searching in CA is quicker especially for detail plan files.

What is it that you cannot do SPECIFICALLY that other programs can do. I agree that some things could be made easier, but other things in other programs are more difficult. CA needs specifics or they get it wrong.

Found this on a simple search Is it tray or trey ceiling? I've got a hunch how — at least in some people's minds — “tray” ceiling became “trey”: “très” is French for “very” (as in “very beautiful”). ... However, the correct adjective for a recessed ceiling — often directly over a bed or Dining Room table, and marked with dramatic, custom moldings — is “tray.”Sep 30, 2016 Surely CA would do a search to get the correct term where possible. In Building there are a lot of regional variations so I normally just go with it.

Post the plan. there is an invisible wall there it is still showing the skirting

how are you plotting on what machine?? what software? any other info?

I do all mine manually to get exactly what I want.

If you would like it. It is best to put it to CA, each and everyone separately. there was a discussion about this recently.

Good luck with the learning curve, I recently went from X10 to X12 and found that a huge step.

I am probably in a slightly different boat as virtually all of the brand specific library items are no use to me. So I mainly use my user library, then if I gave to go find something specific I also place a copy in my user library for future use. For details I have 1 or 2 details per plan in carefully set up folders where I make use of the thumbnail feature.

Plan revisions is the way I have always gone. It gives you the history, a place to go back to if you have a disaster, or the client changes their mind back to plan 1. Just had that happen this week, did a major redesign then got a call "we want to go back to the original brief". It just cost them the extra redesign time, as all I did was open the last original design did a save as and kept working from where I was.

You do have the snaps on?? they haven't inadvertently been turned off ?

YES !! you can open files back to about X2

Joey I think the OP may be talking about a post not a deck pile. the auto frame deck pile footings show up on level 0, but now place a post and footing manually. BOTH the post and the footing show on level 1.

at a guess a different wall type ??

Great we have established it happens regularly on the mac platform. therefore the 'bug' as that is what it is needs to be lodged in the bug reporting app on the website with all the relevant info. then it can at least be investigated properly. And Maybe fixed at some time.

Is this a Mac thing? I dont ever recall seeing the problem in 20 years. You have done all the things I would have done to get them back.

I dont see this problem use ff82.0 exclusively

It only took around 20 minutes

I recently had to manually model a set using slabs, took no time at all.

I would make changes with consecutive numbers in the triangle. the highest number would be my drawing revision. But if I am answering all of the building dept questions at the same time this would all be one number and my revision schedule would reflect this. my revisions do not differentiate who initiated them. just r1 , r2 etc.

Post your file for others to try. That will either find the problem or eliminate CA so you will know it is a local problem. I have no problem printing when I send the correct information.

pretty pictures not reqd for con docs

I thought the whole purpose of the changes was to make it compatible with fruit machines

why not just adjust the baseline height, you know top of plate you should know the vertical depth of framing (tells you in the db) Add whatever extra heel height reqd. Then when you draw a truss it will extend the bottom chord to form the soffit on top of the plate. Or am I imagining something else. we only use trusses here. no pitching of roofs except when using rafters.

Dont see a problem here. foundation plans comes in sweet using all your settings.
