You can also cut (Ctrl+X) and paste and hold position (Strl+Alt+V).

Really valuable Dave!

Please post the plan with your walls drawn.

No. That means that you could not sell that plan to others or build it yourself. You could be in future litigation with that same builder over various aspects of the design. I say this knowing that a builder is not going to make you rich enough to be worth it.

Howdy Mike, The best thing to do is post the plan. Maybe: Different rooms have different ceiling height settings. The roof is built manually or marked edited so that auto-rebuild will not change the roof height. Etc... Generally, CA works so that a wall will build to the height of the default setting unless it encounters a roof plane. Best, Charles

Please post the plan if you want help.

Thanks for the heads up David!

I am with you on the phone, if that meets your needs. I am with you on the keyboard, if that meets your needs. For some of us, it is an investment that pays off big time.

That is what I do.

Ditto!

Sounds good! KISS!

I use them also. You could say that the perspective views are distorted... to look correct from one point of view. But we don't draw what we see, we draw a scaled structure so that it can be built. Perpectives only help us understand the structure from our limited point of view. Perspectives translate the actual to our understanding. Reminds me of an interesting book from highschool geometry, discussing that a line looks like a point (or two) if you are at a point in that line. A polyline looks like a line, etc.

I ordered Stream Deck XL 32 keys...If it's good for Joe... Thanks for the input guys. Best, Charles

They seem the same other than X-keys have more keys (which I like) and StreamDeck has nice key graphics available (which I would like). Both allow multiple uses of each key. Right?

Why Stream Deck over an 80-key X-Keys?

Make sure your Floor Surfaces layer is displayed...post the plan.

Yes, No, Yes. Howdy Joey, I suggest you spend some energy on tutorial videos or one-on-one training, depending on how you learn the best. I can help you with training as can others on this forum. Best, Charles

Howdy Joey, The surface is registered as framing (purlin). Uncheck that.

Funny Rich! I did not know about Mr. Bump...

Thanks Mark!

Upgrade quicker! Rent or use a trial version if you have to. At 10 designs per year, it would only cost you the equivalent of a couple hours of design time (or less) each month. You are spending much more time than that not having it. The software is not perfect, but focus on what it does do well without glitches. It melts my butter. Best, Charles

Nice Rob! Don't forget the purlin blocking.

I agree. I use default sets and layer sets that are temporary (I call "Working") and permanent (I call "Final"). These are set for all categories: floor plan, electrical, plumbing, etc. I change the Working sets as I need to without worry. I never change the Final unless I tweak them with extreme caution. The Final sets are what goes to Layout. That way I do not have to worry about that stray layer being left off on on in the layout view.

Thanks Gene!
