Thank you, Solver. You're the best!

You can sign up and use Sketchup on-line for free. Download the model; open and modify in SU; download the result. Pretty easy.

That works! Thank you!

My auto elevation dimensions don't seem to respond to any directive in the default settings dialog.

The "stall" or "freeze" happens most commonly in a camera view for some users. I'm learning how to move around, in and out, without my scroll wheel, which seems to be the kiss of death. If you have the "right" computer, everything seems to work smooth and reliably. If you have the wrong computer, X14 can be very painful, in spite of all the wonderful new features and improvements. The gurus can't duplicate the "bog-down" because they have the "right" computers. So, some of us are just stuck until the upgrade fairy turns up.

I think it's normal. For me, any part of the walls shows in elevation, and joists, beams and rafters show in plan.

You can select the polyline and the grid fill and create a block. However, if you "un-block, the fill pattern will revert. Alternatively, you can move the fill pattern with the "Offset and Angle" values, but that won't lock to the polyline.

Thank you! Great tip. Kept putting this off till now.

Delete the string and re-do? Sometimes fixes quirks.

Yes, same problem for me.

Solver used the "Porch" room, which will do what you want, and as Glenn points out, don't use "Garage". When you get it the way you'd like, change the "Porch" configuration in Default Settings>Floors and Rooms>Room Types>Porch in your Plan Template and you'll be good to go.

Yes!!

Thank you, Chop! I just needed a refresher, and voila!

Thank you for sharing this. Excellent!

Looks Good!

Build>Roof>Edit all Roof planes>Structure>Roof Layers>Structure>Select your rafter material (Color-Brite) and tick ON "Framing" option. Then click OK. Then tick on "Build Roof Framing". Then OK.

Very impressive! Thanks.

Wow. How does it stack up to 27" iMac, resolution wise?

You could try ticking the box at the top that says "surfaces" (instead of "main layer"). Worth a try.

Here's hoping!

Great job! Jealous and hoping Mac figures this out.

Hi Tammy, Click on a room and look for it on the bottom of your screen. It has been removed from the auto dimensions drop down and is now done on a room to room basis, instead of all the rooms at once.

Main Menu: View>Library Browser Restart if that doesn't work.

For me, the black flash arrived with the most recent update. Wasn't experiencing it when this thread first started (before I updated).
