Yes I can get it on the side roof pane also but not on the ridge.  Would I have to make two and somehow connect them?

Thanks for your reply, I updated my signature.  I'm using X9.  It was video #1521 "Manually Drawing Dormers"  No I did not try the skylight.  I placed a polyline (on both floors and attic) trying to get a hole in the roof so I could build the walls on top of the roof, but it wouldn't give me that option on any floor level. 

Thanks,

Good day,

I need some help in getting this roof to work.  I'm trying to get a chimney/cupola on this barn/shop.  The video I saw on this it showed to make a hole in the roof.  No matter what I try I can not get it so that that option becomes available when I'm trying to convert the poly line.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help

Thanks for your reply.  I will do as soon as I'm back at the office.  Thanks again!

I have a somewhat similar issue with my roof.  (Not sure if it has to be in a new  conversation)

I have this simple garage addition with a dutch and full gable up front.  I cant get the line to disappear in the fascia where it meets the upper roof (its doesn't show in regular view but I use vector views for the elevation views in my layout).  Any advise?

Thanks in advance

Thank you very much, that did it.  Now if i want to later on add in lets say lookouts or adjust the overhang will that remove these new perlins?  It seems like as soon as I re-frame anything on the roof, the perlins  disappear.  

Hello Alaskan Son, 

I tried your video several times but when I have made the block of the one lookouts and saved it in my library, it doesn't work to get it to show up in my framing view again.  It shows up on my plan view as a cad block but that is it.  What am I doing wrong?  

Is it possible to have the exterior door labels on a separate layer so that it can be displayed separately?    I only want to have the exterior door labels showing and not the interior ones.  Much appreciate your response!

Thanks, that did it!! Not major, but is it possible to get those arrows and dimensions gone that appear vertically when I add an elevation dimension?

Thanks for your reply, I did that but it still shows 3.17' for grade level and -3.83' for T/O Footing?

Does anyone know how to get the program to show the story pole elevation dimensions in feet AND inches rather than decimal feet only?  (Mine shows 3.25' and I want it to show 3'-3")
