You can do that by setting up a new reference display layer set, turn off all layers in this set that you don't want. Set up the display for the footings, and reference walls on a different floor to display at the same time.

Hi Gene, Did you try a horizontal offset on the railing?

Make the invisible wall have a railing attribute. Put the footing on the footing layer. This should solve both of your questions.

Where would this type of footing be, when not under a wall? Any wall type can be made to have footings under them.

Hi Rene, What if you only keep the plan and layout files on OneDrive? That is my practice, and so far, I have had no problems.

Nice one Eric. I like to snow effects!

Not really a question, but, but what the heck! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all Chief Architect designers, and to their families as well. All the best from Whitby Ontario Canada! Just to put some CA content in this thread, please post an image of your best Christmas building design!

My suggestion to getting a meaningful answer is to post the plan file.

Try building the floor, wall and ceiling framing. Don't turn on the framing layers in the current view. I think it will build out correctly. Also try posting the plan file to this forum. Often someone will take a crack at fixing the problem and letting you know what went wrong

You can do that, and it results in the correct orientation so this would be a good solution. Thanks, I should have thought of that.

LOL right to the point! Thanks, that is what I thought too.

Anyone know how to rotate the symbols so that they align with the note text?

I agee, Snagit is not expensive, is easy to use, and you can do annotations that are clear and simple.

I can make the roof behave by manually editing roof base polyline, but in auto, strangely some overhangs are 12' 10". I don't understand why. Liberty House.zip

I must admit that I made a mistake. The contour lines do contain elevation data in the cad file, but these are not imported into CA in a meaningful way. I assumed that if you converted the line into a contour line in CA that it would use the 3d info. It doesn't. My appologies.

The contour lines, if exploded, all have elevation data. This additional comment to John's post is just for clarity on where elevation data can be accessed in this version of the survey.

I agree with Gene's comments. About your problem, is the layer attic wall turned on? It would also be helpful for you to post the plan file.

What aspect of the molding are you having problems with? There is a lot of opportunities for moldings in this picture that you posted. Perhaps you could be more specific?

Even better, post the plan file!

Double click on a dimension line Click on define. At this point you can convert all the dimensions using this definition to some other units, or add a secondary format with different units And the result is this! Hopefully this fully answers your question.

When you are in the section view click on the save camera view to save the section for later use. or If you add this view to a layout, then the view is automatically saved

It really helps in a situation such as this if you post the plan file. Also please set up your signature file. Here is how to do that:

Another problem is supporting the ridge beam. With windows as illustrated you may not be able to do this build without collar ties..
