I could not be happier with my 43" TCL. Less than $240, tax and all. see specs below.

Known issue - this will correct it... Tools, Checks, Plan Check

Ok, I started CA and selected New Plan, drew the same walls, built the foundation and all's good. But being that I like to see what caused this, I opened the problem plan file, did an Edit Area (all floors) and pasted into the new plan and did another cross section and it too has the same issue. I need to get going on this plan so I may not know what caused this. Thank you all for your replies!!!

Wow! How can I be sure I've deleted all of the Auto Detail polylines? Please see the camera view too, it shows the brick not on the lowered brick ledge depth.

Ok, going crazy here... I thought I had this figured out, but now I can't get the wall brick to drop down to the brick ledge depth set at 8". What am I overlooking? Thank you. Plan_02_Help_X.plan

That did it!!! Thank you very much.

I am changing some default settings to start a new plan and I don't know where the settings are to create a garage curb that extends past the interior wall. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks. Foundation_Test_Plan_03.plan

I had this very issue just the other day. Turned out to be that I had TWO doorways in the same location.

With your layout open, select Tools, Layout, Referenced Plan Files...

Yes, it's helpful. I just tried overlapping, not creating a gap. Thanks!

Dermot, thanks for the feedback. Greatly appreciated!

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.
