X15 --> X16 / Changed Manually Adjusted Dimensions
Doug_N replied to JKEdmo's topic in General Q & A
Enable this, and see what happens. -
Agreed. I know that my stamp wouldn't be on the drawing!

Nice work TeaTime, well done!!

Not too difficult to do, but of course it wouldn't be approved without a guard railing.by any building inspector. That would definitely be an accident location just waiting to happen.

Auto Roof Question - One Big Roof over "Jogging" Exterior Wall
Doug_N replied to JKEdmo's topic in General Q & A
I wasn't suggesting that the roof be constructed in manual, just that the treatment of the soffit face leaves something to be desired if the soffit face is level. The roof can still be completely done automatically. -
Auto Roof Question - One Big Roof over "Jogging" Exterior Wall
Doug_N replied to JKEdmo's topic in General Q & A
Unless I am wrong, the only shortcoming of this method is that the soffit doesn't generate to the exterior wall when Boxed Eave, Flush or Default to Overhang are selected. The soffit follows the underside of the roof rafters after reaching the set overhang. -
Perhaps tilted in his mind is flat, just not level flat. I have had owners tell me that too.

Creating an independent hip roof for separate mech building
Doug_N replied to Cadwork22's topic in General Q & A
With problems like this, the best way to get meaningful help is to post the plan file. -
I think your only option if you can't get the DWG file is to trace the contour lines. I have done that a few times, and it works pretty well. Try just the major lines and then if need adjust with a few "in between lines" Fortunately CA supports spline contour lines. Once you have the lines traced you can adjust the curves between points with the advanced spline option.

Hi Jim, I did some experimenting with the footings, even moving them to a different layer, but no joy. Unless the footings are removed, there isn't any way that I can see that will turn off the footings in the schedule view. Your second question though about pony walls, bingo, there is an answer

This look is achieved by setting the railing walls to invisible and offsetting from the foundation walls by 1" (This is done in the wall DBX for the railing. The stairs have no stringers, no tread overhang and no thickness. The risers are closed and set to closed underneath. Then copy and paste concrete colour to the tread risers and walls under the stringers.

Now that is a very creative way to use a roof plane and skylights.
