Gene is right, it is very difficult to diagnosis and suggest a fix

Footings not showing correctly around garage doors
Doug_N replied to capitaldesigns's topic in General Q & A
I suspect the problem that you are running into is using short wall segments to get the foundation offset for the bumped-out wall details. CA does not deal with small wall offsets very well, so one alternate is to use slabs to mimic the solid concrete where required. In perspective, I used a different colour concrete so that the foundation edit could be more clearly seen -
Hi Michael. Please post the plan file so that people can see the problem and suggest a method or work around to achieve your desired design.

What makes you think this? I have a college architectural student intern working in my office now that is using an educational version of CA. Traffic on this forum is certainly not down from what I can see. Quite the contrary. I don't know if there are any statistics that are available for this forum but I would be amazed to see a downturn. You can make an ICF model by making your own ICF wall type. I have an ICF project now that is going quite well. I don't know where you are going, but if you think some other software company will treat you better, well good luck with that.

Please check my contour/terrain perimeter dxfs
Doug_N replied to SkullMesaRanch's topic in General Q & A
if you have your building already done with no terrain specified, and then import the dxf file, the terrain will automatically adjust to the existing building. Then when you open the terrain specification DBX you can adjust the difference between some point of interest and the first floor in the dialog. -

If you want to see those in section you can do it by attaching a variable to the macro that identifies which stair you are talking about like this: Here I use the global variable $s1 to identify which stair set I am referring to, $s2 for the next stair set and so on. %$s1riser_total=num_treads+1% Risers Run %$s1run=tread_depth%" Rise %$s1rise=riser_height.round(2)%" Then in a text box next to the stairs in elevation you put %$1riser_total% Risers Run %$s1run%" Rise %$s1rise%" A bit of a kludge but it works.
