Great minds...

Rebuild the deck framing.

This what I bought recently. 1500VA/1000W at $218. Similar to one have owned for about 6 years that went out. I consider them insurance when you compare the prices against you new computer system, monitors, etc. You can change the batteries out but their improvements keep me buying new ones.

Turn off framing and turn the Floor Surfaces layer on.

Delete your foundation. Rebuild it later.

"Curved Roof Planes" in help.

OR, just delete all that you do not want by holding the delete key down, take a screen shot, then hit cancel to void the deletions. Charles

In most parts, you can only get precut studs for 8, 9 & 10' ceilings.

BTW, the rough ceiling elevation should be 121 1/8" in order to use pre-cut studs, double top plate and a single bottom plate like usual.

Howdy Brent, You are showing rough ceiling elevation in the first pict and finish ceiling elevation in the second pict. Charles

I thought David Potter helped with that is his video. Did you watch that?

Your edge rafter (in red) is 11 1/4" instead of 9 1/4" like the rest. Change that to match.

This problem is usually caused by one or two things: 1. The exterior wall layer is setup as a main layer in the wall definition instead of an exterior or interior layer. 2. The framing wall layer is not marked as framing.

Yeppers. Our posts crossed...

Here you go!

Howdy Larry, Yes, it works for me. Check that your tray ceiling layer is not locked... Sorry if I misunderstood your earlier post. Best, Charles

You are welcome! Other considerations may be: lack of rain screen or a moisture barrier on exterior of exterior wall lack of air spacing or furring on interior of exterior wall using CMU at 8 inches instead of 7 5/8 inches

Your wall layers are not set up correctly.

Perspective Floor Overview.

I turned off all auto framing and that helped speed up one plan in X14 and X13 (same plan).

In addition, you probably need to extend the lower roof plane backwards or break the upper roof plan and bring it forward, depending on where you want the attic wall.

Thx for sharing! Best, Charles

Not just you. Did put this in suggestions? If, not please do. I will also.
