Yes, manual/custom countertops are the better way to do it. However, with automatic countertops, I was able to successfully get the taller cabinet to overhang in the back by overlapping the back of one the cabinets just 1/8".

I know, easy peasy on that one extending the overhang. Drag the taller cabinet away from the lower and then back again and the overhang goes away and it doesn't want to overhang again. I don't know how I got it to overhang in the first place.

Two different height cabinets back to back with taller cabinet countertop overhanging off the back over the lower. Using automatic countertops, I have accomplished this before in a test plan (attached) but I can't seem to get the upper countertop to overhang the lower in my final plan. There must be a secret of forcing the overhang. Now I try it in my test plan and can't reproduce the success. The right cabinets are what I am attempting to do. Any suggestions? I may answer myself by just using custom countertops. Thanks! Cabinet_Overhang.plan

Thanks folks! Working on a small plan now using only Custom Countertops.

aha! That explains the areas I was getting in the ML while changing different overhangs in the Automatic Counter Top. Thanks guys!

Thanks, I submitted an online support case. @MarkMc

Anyone using the area calculated in the material list for automatic cabinet countertops? Why does calculate differently than the custom countertop. See my example plan file... Thanks. Cabinet_Overhang.plan

Revu Standard has met my needs for several years.

Check out Bluebeam Revu (https://www.bluebeam.com/) Very afordable.

That's what sort of figured. Thanks!

Am I missing something about the 3D viewer? I can export a plan with the three perspective overviews: Perspective Full Overview Perspective Floor Overview Perspective Framing Overview But when viewed in the 3D viewer, the Floor and Framing Overviews appear just like the Full Overview. https://3d-viewer.chiefarchitect.com/go?share=230108141051013 Thank you.

CA never ceases to amaze me! Great tip adding toggles to the toolbars Michael.

Thanks Steve, but I am still on X11. The photo seems to what I am attempting to achieve and yes, I have a solution for the problem area. Thanks.

Many thanks for all of your replies. I will proceed with manual roof planes. Thanks.

Attempting a triple gable look that a client likes. Is there a simple way to achieve this look? Here is my stab at it. I just can't seem to get the middle gable reversed without a bunch of manual roof planes. Suggestions appreciated. Thanks... Triple_Gable_Test_03.plan

Thanks! I sure don't remember doing that.

What's got this single roof plane locked at 10 pitch. House is to be 7 pitch, but whatever pitch is set to build roof planes, this single roof plane always stays locked at 10 pitch. Weird_10_pitch_in_roof.plan

Thank you!

Any specific specifications needed for my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 to support a TCL 4K monitor? https://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-745-oem/specifications Thank you!

I've been using a 28" monitor for the longest time. Reading this thread has me wanting to upgrade to something larger. In the past when searching for a monitor, one of the key factors was dot pitch or pixel pitch and I don't see any mention of that with these large monitors/TVs. Is it not a concern with the latest technology? Also, I seem to recall seeing a thread which shows photos of CA users with their office setup showing the monitors in use. Anyone know where it is or could some of you post some photos of your large monitors/TVs in use? Thanks!

With X11, In your layout, select Tools, Layout, Referenced Plan Files.

Put the title block on layout page zero.

Easy! That's awesome Alaskan_Son! I knew I had seen that dialog box at some point in the past and I was challenged to try and figure it out. Thanks!!!

Well maybe?, I just reread your post and saw that Toolbars is already checked.

I reproduced it... Click View, Toolbars (to toggle the 'tool ribbon' on/off)
