Maybe I missed something. How are walls being cut from one plan and placed in the exact same place on a DIFFERENT plan. I think he said "6" every time he did this. Is that a macro? How are those walls going back exactly where they would have been even though the cut is from one plan and the paste is on another?

I did not mean Robert was patient in how he created the wall. I will leave it to you from here.

Robert is a patient man.

Another way to shrink file size is ditch the whole BIM thing. An example would be the foundation to sill plate anchor bolts. You don't really need to place a bolt every place one would go. Make a cad detail that the concrete sub will understand. There are many examples of this. Lose all the furniture you may have placed on the plan (the framers don't care where you are putting your couch). By themselves, none of these are big, but they all add up. A good rule to go my is that most 2d elements take less file size than a 3d element (so delete that toaster that may be sitting on the counter top).

The left side of your porch roof is going to trap water against the bumped out wall.

And just like that, Scott is the winner. Post #13 and no solution.

I use a different plan file for the as built and show the demo on that plan only. The actual plan would have those walls removed, just like in the real world.

I would be really surprised if your concrete foreman orders rebar based on what the material list says.

My wild guess would be a left over attic wall that now needs to be deleted.

Perhaps you could take some of the remedial classes that CA offers.

Your doing it wrong.

Maybe you could clarify what you mean by "it did not work". Did not build any roof or just not what you wanted?

It might be snapping to some other object or point. I think you would normally want it to do that but you can always turn off object snaps.

There could be instances where both specifications come into play. Upper level room is smaller than the room under it. Ceiling/floor joists would be determined by the upper level floor joist. The area with no upper floor above it would switch over to the ceiling joist specification.

I'm not sure what you are looking for but you may be better off posting this in the section called seeking services.

I think it has to do with the material you assign to the polyline solid. Try giving it a different (or copied) material and will probably separate it out on the material list.

I think the actual headers would best be shown on your roof framing plan. Just my opinion

Maybe your floor material is "open- no material". Go to room definition and check what material the finished floor is set to.

Sometimes you have to move the cursor around a bit for it to lock onto a line you want.

Turn off the layer called Walls - through wall lines.

Nice addition. I love changes that speed the process up.

huh?

You can set the angle snaps to anything you want. It is found in the plan default area. Not sure about changing the cross hairs.

I'm in Coeur d'alene. I can help you. I have done hundreds of plans including Spokane Valley. tom@idahodesignbuildgroup.com

One other thing to mention. Set the stair to NOT supply newels. The uprights are set in the panel specifications, not the stair. At least for this particular look.
