I would suggest posting the plan for a better answer to your question but I am not sure what you want your roof configuration to look like. Just extending the roof to those posts creates a host of other design issues. Can you make a sketch of what you are after? Then post the plan and I am sure you will get a live example of what to do.

Best book to familiarize yourself with building: http://www.amazon.com/Building-Construction-Illustrated-Francis-Ching/dp/1118458346

Make your text box transparent. You probably have a fill on the text.

I did not scroll up and look. Yes, one of the bonus libraries.

Are you using the Plant Chooser to search?

Charlie (boy genius). Great and simple idea for the elevations.

Nice trick to just delete the doors.

I have done small shop drawings for my metal shop details. I have not done a full set of cabinet shop drawings as that has not been needed. The basic cadd and dimensioning tools are solid in my opinion but I am not familiar with what something like 20/20 puts out.

Close down the Chief program then zip the plan file.

Scott, I should start a new thread for the Mammoth Mountain UGM in January. Snow fall permitting.

If we go next year we can walk on the bottom of the lake and collect fossils.

We finally found a location for that California user group meeting.

And raise your rates.

The pic is a little light

You can show your second floor while viewing the first. Hit the Reference Floor button as shown on the image. That will allow you to snap to the referenced floor lines.

Go to the plan view and show the roof planes along with the walls. Select the roof plane and hit the 3 hot key to make a break point on the roof where it intersects the wall. Now grab the roof ridge extension and drag it back to the wall line.

I am so happy (and sad) that this was not me being a dope and spending 8 years working on a CADD program to just be slightly mediocre. I should not need to delete the blocking to make this happen. See the section where I have lost my bird blocking.

It is balloon!

Logic? We don't need no stinkin' logic. Thanks Glenn and Mick. I always regret grabbing the wall tops and adjusting so this really helps.

The picture of the existing condition is what I would like to do. The model seems to want to do what the vector view shows. Is there a way to rebuild without dragging the walls up in a camera view that will give me this condition? Erinphries as built (2).zip

Yes, same methodology without the cad to view by just making a few polyline boxes will do the trick. The main thing to keep in mind is you can not have two walls in the same place.

Take your as built drawing and show only the walls and windows (no doors). Cad detail from view. Select all those cad lines and put them on the demolition layer and make them dashed lines. Copy and paste into your plan view and lock the layer after sending all those cad lines to the back. Now if you move any walls or delete sections of walls that are demolished the dashed lines show through. Done.

I tried this holder for a few minutes but I was painting a door flat on saw horses. For that it felt very heavy and unbalanced. I may be painting my garage door this week which will be in it's vertical position and see if I like it for that.

Change the print resolution (DPI) to 150.

There are a lot of variables in this situation. If you post your plan file you are going to get a faster (correct) answer.
