Everything can be achieved I chief. You have to have the knowledge to do so. She mentioned in the first post for the floor to be lower. All that needs to be done is place a negative value in the floor of 12 inches. You mentioned this house cannot have five roof planes. Clearly you can see Mick and I have done so if you download the files we have uploaded.

Hi, Made the roof with five roof planes, switched off auto roof and increased the ceiling heights where required1512george modify.plan.

I think the reason for this extra label that no one seems to want is there for a reason. I have realized that you have another name for the wall to state which room side you are looking at the wall. CA pretty smart we always jump to blame the program lol.

Hi Mick, Finally got it sorted. As you mentioned "delete the text inside the box, not the box" I left the text out and amazingly the text doesn't appear anymore. Thanks Mick, Joe and Glenn.

Hi Joe, very strange i have no Wall layer 3. Only wall Layer which controls the wall cladding.

The frame elevations are in the wall detail set, and when i send to layout im getting a third text line of text the wall detail default auto text. What to do? i only need one text line to work across all the views.

Hi Mick, What ever i do the wall lay text always comes back. Maybe because im modifying the wall its defaulting this text. cannot understand how to get rid of it. I changed the default label in walls to Auto, and got rid of all macros. The wall label now read wall Detail 1 and 2 and so on, though this extra text label "'wall Layer 3'' comes back automatically no mater what i do.

I did what you guys suggested and everything is screwed up. I'm getting wall layer and the macro displayed on the layout for the label.

After a couple of days i was getting the blue screen of death couldn't go back to 7 so had to reformat and start all over again. Wont be installing 10 till its more stable. Real PITA.

Very Strange i placed %view.name% in the default settings, interior and exterior walls and still didn't work. If i place macro in each wall label only then will it work. Anyhow thanks Glenn and Joe at least you have steered me in the right direct.

Hi Joe, Thanks for your suggestion, though in my elevation i still get the label as layer.

Hi Glenn, Thanks for your suggestion though when i do this it displays `1st floor plan` Can i do this is the default settings? so it works globally?

I don't understand when i click on a wall detail to see the wall framing and if the wall detail is 2, The label in the wall elevations displays wall layer 3. I have no idea whats going on and how to make it correspond.

Ive seen the tutorial on how to make a glass ballustrade though its for a straight staircase. So how can the Glass balustrade be built when there is a landing and the stairs return at ninety degrees? What a PITA. The glass on the bottom stairs is a pline solid, and to join it to the railing changed to glass balustrade, i had to fuge it which is still not %100. Any suggestions be greatly appreciated. Please see attched pics and attached plan file. https://www.dropbox.com/s/f18m1wrxz978ewp/glass%20balustrade.plan?dl=0

Hi David, Had a quick look at your model, noticed you have roof planes on top of roof planes. Needs a good clean up and your geometry is all over the place. Use you cross section slider and you will how all your roof planes dont intersect, they run over and are short from conecting the intersecting of the adjacent roof plane. You can build your framing and see how the geometry is all over the place. Im no expert on CA though i know how to build a roof and if the geometry is not correct CA cannot make the correct connection.

3ds works fine. Make sure your model is in 3D view before you export, and most importanly when opening in Thea you have the correct scale.

lol, make it glass, Standard works perfectly. Mine was a poly line changed to glass

Thanks Mark, Works perfectly now

Installed another hard disk, deactivated CA and activated in new disk. Program load OK though found that most of my textures are missing. I installed core contents from the library menu, though didn't help. Installed CA on my C drive and have my documents on the D drive, how do i point CA to look in the D drive?

I'm sure i have seen this in CA though cannot find in the library, anyone know where i can find please.

Nice one, Thanks Mark

How do i make a top cabinet with the door being 20mm longer on the bottom?

When i place skylights in a roof i have noticed the eave directly above gets a hole in it, (see attachment) Am i doing something wrong or is it a bug? If i remove the skylight the hole in the eave disappears.

Perry, lol, love your sense of humor. Im trying to down load the update and its saying i have the lastest. When i look at my version i have, 16.1.1.9x64, lol

Thanks all for the suggestions, very much appreciated
