This seemed like deja vu so I double checked and sho nuff...
: )
Thanks Alaskan_Son. Yes, I asked this question months, and thus since got it working for the front view wall. My current post is for the side walls as well since it seems a bit of a different technique.
Thx

Thanks for the reply William. Do you mind posting your plan so I can see exactly how you did this? I'm a bit of a novice. So your plan will help me learn.
Thx Sir

Hello all. I'm trying to achieve the sloped/angled wall like in the pic. The angle wraps around the columns as I've seen this house in person.
I've been able to design it in the front view of my two columns, however, I'm unsure how to do it with the side walls.
My X8 plan is attached for reference.
Any thoughts, pointers are always appreciated.
Thx

Thanks folks for the replies.
ShaneK, your design helped a lot. I was able to reproduce it exactly.
GeneDavis, thanks as well. And yes, this is for a design in Texas.

Thanks gentlemen. The lintel option worked perfectly.

Hi Folks. I'm trying to figure out how to add a crown molding over a door or doorway. I see where I can add crown molding to a room's ceiling, but I want to add it as a piece of trim over a door or doorway.
Attached photos are similar to what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm using X8.
Any tips you can offer are greatly appreciated. Hopefully this is an easy one.
Thanks

Problem solved!!!! I used Alaska_Son's recommendation, and IT WORKED PERFECTLY! Wow, that was easy. I've been struggling with this for hours, and turns out it was as simple as Alaska_Son said it is.
Thanks everyone who took time to read, and reply. Thanks again to the CA Nation!

Just a quick question here Roz, Is it your intension to have your plot plan as a cad detail or live within you plan on the Plot Plan Layer. You seem to already have two cad details that may be intended to be plot plans #1 "Bode Circle" and #2 "Trophy Oaks Drive". Are you trying to decide between 1 of two lots to build on?
Thanks for the reply, Chopsaw. I'd prefer the plot plan remain as a cad detail as it is now. Yes, Bode and Trophy Oaks are two lots I'm considering building on. I'm wanting to see how the house will sit on either lot...hence I'm trying to also display the driveway.
Thanks

Hello all. I still cannot properly display the driveway on the plot WITHOUT also displaying the terrain perimeter and an additional plot plan. I'm already on the plot plan and when I create a new footprint, it brings over ANOTHER plot plan (now I have two) along with the driveway. I don't know why the footprint has another plot plan around it. Hope I'm not confusing anyone. I attached the plan earlier.
This is driving me crazy. I simply want to display the driveway on my plot plan WITHOUT the terrain perimeter and WITHOUT the additional plot plan. If I check "Display Plan Details" that's when it displays the terrain perimeter and an additional plot plan. Aaargh!!!!
I am a NOVICE with CA, so PLEASE provide detailed (ie dummy proof) suggestions, tips, pointers. Thank you all so much

Roz, it shows on plot plan and default set when I looked at it. I assume you will be adjusting what seems to be your property lines to their correct location.
Yes, it show correctly on the default set. And it shows on the plot plan only when I turn on 'Display Plan Details'. However when I turn on 'Display Plan Details', it also shows another copy of the plot plan on top of the existing plot plan. Something is out of sync and I cannot figure it out.

You probably want to post your .plan file to get anything but wild guesses for that question.
Sorry, my plan is now attached.

Good Morning CA Nation!
On my plan, I've drawn a driveway but the driveway doesn't show on my plot plan. What am I doing wrong?
Thx

All,
I have been able to accomplish my goal. I used a combination of your thoughts, ideas, videos, guidance. Thank you all very very much. In the end, I simply made a plan footprint and used CAD points, lines, arcs to create the plot plan around the house footprint. Works perfectly.
Thanks again

Hi Folks. Just reporting back. The videos have been EXTREMELY helpful. I've been able to draw a plot plan (not perfect but I'm learning). However, the plot plan is MUCH MUCH larger than my drawing sheet and I don't know why its at a larger scale. My end goal is to eventually place the house within the footprint of the plot (after I create the setbacks). But for now, I can't figure out why the plot plan is significantly larger. I've attached my house plan. Go to CAD Detail Management and open the "Site Plan". You'll see what I'm talking about. I've also attached a screenshot. I have also attached a copy of the survey.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Awesome, everyone. I'll check out the videos.
Thanks much

Hi Folks. I use X8. Can someone tell me how to create a plot plan? I know this may sound like a simple request, but I've only used CA to design house plans and have never ventured into creating plot plans. I have the survey coordinates on a non-scaled survey but would like to reproduce it in CA.
Any how-to steps, videos, etc would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much

Actually, it's in Austin, Texas.

Thanks everyone for your input. I'll give them a try.
By the way, the slope does wrap.

Thanks for the response Michael. I appreciate it.
I was simply asking if Chief had any option in the decking tools to select a skirt/cover for the deck.
Thanks much

How To: Terrain, Foundation, etc...
in General Q & A
Posted
Hello all. I need help with the attached plan. I'm trying to learn about the relationship between the terrain, and house foundation. In my test plan, I have a sloped lot. I want the foundation to "follow" the terrain. In this example, there will be a larger foundation in the front and gradually decrease toward the back of the house. I am a novice but slowly trying to understand terrain and foundation relationship. I'm hoping this has a simple solution.
Any tips, suggestions, videos are greatly appreciated.
Thx
Roz
