  1. I am trying to create a projection from the first floor of a house. The projection is adjacent to a lowered entrance and I want the projection wall to be flush with the edge of the lowered entrance. Unfortunately, when I do this a hole is created in the foundation wall where the entrance abuts the projection. I can 'fix' the hole by putting space (eg a railing) between the projection and the lowered entrance but this is not the design I want.   I can't imagine this behavior is by design.  How do I get the edge of the of the projection to line up with the edge of the lowered entrance without creating a hole in the foundation wall?

     

    Attached are 2 pictures, one showing the floor plan and exterior view with the hole and one without. Note that the lowered floor is in light yellow, to the right of the projection.

     

    I'm using CA X10 on Windows 10.

  2. Hadn't used macros before. That solved my problem.  Thanks

     

    stairDetails = ""
    stairDetails << "Risers: " << total_risers.to_s
    stairDetails << "\nRise: " << riser_height.round(2).to_s << "\""
    stairDetails << "\nRun: " << tread_depth.round(2).to_s << "\""
    stairDetails << "\nOverhang: " << tread_overhang.to_s << "\""
    stairDetails

  3. Outside of manually creating a text block, is there a way to show the stair details on the floor plan / layout?  Specifically, i want to show tread depth (run), # of risers, riser height (rise).  It would be ideal if these details would auto-update if/when the stair gets updated.

     

    Thanks
