  1. Hi, could someone check the attached plan. For some reason when I switch to Perspective framing overview, my layer set does not change with that, it stays as floor plan layer set. I spend a lot of time to figure out. Gave up. I know I can change the layer set to 3D framing layer set. But why it does not change by default. Could someone let me know where is the settings for that? Plan file attached for reference

    What "batten board" are you referring to?

    image.png.27b7edfa1a310d5aabd97cce79d85083.pngas in the attached image. when I use the siding 6 wall type and take a section, I get straight line for the sidings. I need the horizontal siding. Hope this image helps

    I may have a video that addresses this -- check my YouTube channel.

    Hi Eric, I could not find one. I didn't know that you had that good collections of video demonstration.

    I will send you a plan, could you please show me how to fix the stair?

    Thank you

  4. I was wondering is there a way to rename a symbol so that the name appears in the schedule will be as required rather than the CA symbol name. eg. 2 way ceiling register, I want to rename it as supply air to reflect in my schedule. Is it possible? Any suggestions how i can achieve that?

  5. Thank you Doug for your quick response. That is strange. But I never had any issue in the past, only on this drawing. I may have to try on creating a new plan and see if this is repeating. Anyways thank you.

    I did not watch the video so can't say as to that.

    First you have the cabinet set to have a door, pullouts go into drawers. IF you did place a pullout on the door it would stay on the back of the door when the door opened and not pullout. It could be placed as a rollout in the shelf tab but this one doesn't open like a rollout when selected from the RAS library.

    Second and most important-somehow your symbol has been defined as "Inserts into Counterrop". The one from the library does not so either you imported it or changed the symbol options.image.thumb.png.6b60aadfbb11ea76752894e24309c50c.png

    So- define as drawer , then specify the drawer box

    Left to right- yours, attached to back of a door, defined as rollout in shelf tab, drawer with defined as drawer box

    Hi Mark, thank you very much for your detailed helpful reply. That is awesome. Much appreciated that. Let me try your steps. I know I am doing something wrong, but could not figure out. Once again thank you. Have a great day.

    Not following the instructions :)

     

    It's helpful to have a link to the video, and a time to forward to so we can see what you see.

    This is the best answer I ever received. Eric, you always try to help and in the forefront, I agreed, appreciated that. But I am not an expert like you. That's why I post those silly questions. I know I am doing something wrong. If I could figure out I would not act like a fool asking those questions. Anyways thank you for your help. A detailed helping reply came from Mark. Have a great day.

    If you see the item in any view and select it you can see the layer below.

    Please note I could not select it from the plan view. If I could I would have know the layer to turn on. That was my whole issue here. Anyways I replied earlier mentioning that my issue is resolved now. thank you

  9. Hello,

    I was practicing the spiral duct work watching the Video No. 10157

    (Our Spiral Ducting catalog contains molding profiles and symbols that can be used to create HVAC ducting.) For some reason I cannot see the spiral duct in my 3D view, while if I take a section I can see the duct in the section. (plan attached for reference). Could someone let me know why it is not displaying in the 3D view?
