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..

Your uploaded plan file is not available. Try uploading it again.

Since Windows 10 the 256 file path limit has been removed, provided that you enable long file paths. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/fileio/maximum-file-path-limitation?tabs=registry#enable-long-paths-in-windows-10-version-1607-and-later

Just a suggestion for now to make the schedule more proportional (in my opinion)

My suggestion is to replace the hard drive with a large SSD, The performance gain will astound you!

Put the file in a drop box or a link from OneDrive.

I suggest you post the plan file so an analysis can be done.

Rene. I am a customer of yours and don't begrudge you making money for your skill and expert knowledge. However this forum would fall apart if we all followed your example. Maybe I'm wrong but this is the place we're we help one another. This forum is one of the reasons that so many of us use CA. So maybe post a comment that for $34 I'll help you and click on this link. I just hope not every advanced user doesn't do the same.

Really??

Gene you made my day!! lol

I need the curb and pony walls because of the grade.

In the cut and paste, there is a strange profile that runs around the garage floor. Can't get rid of it. 424 Drurie.plan

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.

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.

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.

That is not the only case where terrain is not shown against the foundation wall. It seems to be a general problem with how CA deals with terrain that is shaped in complex ways.
