Ok, got it to work. I had rebooted my machine, but we needed to reboot his machine. Thank you Chopsaw for your efforts.

They both have "disable file locking" selected

I am afraid it is not "file locking" feature

I would agree on file size. what is crazy is from my computer the file size is zero bytes and when I view that same file from his computer I can see that it is 5.6 meg. It also show zero bytes from on my MacBook. I just don't know if its a cloud issue, computer issue or Chief issue on his license (him changing some default)

Chopsaw, I am sorry, but I am not sure if I understand your question.

I have 3 different stations with 2 going at the same time. I do the design, and my draftsman does the work. If I create the plan or layout, he has no problem opening, working and saving. However, once he opens the file and works on it, I can not longer access it. I can see it in the folder, but I get message in the picture that I have attached. I am running 2 licenses of X12 on an IMAC (mine) and a Mac mini (draftsman), all of my files are on my iCloud. I have not ever encountered before as I personally go between my MacBook and IMAC if I am at the office or remote. I am at a loss here I would greatly appreciate it if anyone has encountered this problem before and know how to remedy it. Thank you in advance. Gene

This forum never fails with it's wisdom. I had this same problem this morning, and this thread was the first to pop up in my search. Chopsaw, you are the man! Problem solved.

Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you, been super busy. Thank you very much Robert

Good morning. I get this issue from time to time in various plans and it is so frustrating. I am currently working on an existing home that I am drawing the exterior and roof in order to add an addition. My problem is I have 2 different roof pitches on the same roof plane. This is no biggie, I do this all the time by drawing 2 separate planes, change roof pitches and then connect them to get my bell roof on that roof plane. However, every now and then I get this frustrating issue of the two roof planes not wanting to connect. The lower pitch stops at the exterior wall and the higher pitch stops at the face of the stud, i.e. the picture. I need help in figuring out what is going on. Like I said, this happens every now and then and is so frustrating. My solution in the past was to start over, but I am wanting to know the root cause and save me time and money by eliminating this issue all together. I am adding the plan file also if anyone would like to diagnose my issue. I thank you in advance for helping me. abdo existing.plan

Thank you very much Robert!! I tried to recreate the roof plane myself before copying / paste, but I must still be missing something's it did not work. It was better, but not exact. As a result I ended up copy / paste (ing) your roof plane. THANK YOU so much!! Here is what it looks like now, it worked perfect.

Here is the plan stripped down to walls and roof. Again, thank you all for your help. Curved roof issue plan.plan

Good morning. Thank you for the replies. I had to leave a little early yesterday. I will copy the plan and trim it down to the basic necessities.

trying to attach the plan file, but its too big

1st time working with a curved roof. My problem is when I mate the roof planes, they show mated, but in plan view and 3d view there is an opening in the roof. I am at my whits end on this. What am I missing here? I have attached photos showing the roof planes in question. I appreciate any and all input.

Thank you Eric for your accurate and quick response. . I knew it was an easy fix, but I was just stumped. Have a great day and weekend!
