Simplest way I see wis to get rid of the 2 additional low roof planes and modify the upper one with break lines.
-
Basically similar to what eric said I believe
-
I drew the original shape in plan view but as it would be constructed from the top at a width of 1 1/2" or whatever the depth of the truss chords are-
Then I took an elevation view of that 3d solid a brought in a CAD detail of the truss shape you were after and used it to modify from that perspective.
-
Could use a bit more information to really try and help

Thanks Eric-
I don't think was in tight enough to grab the hole - all good.
-
Tab to try and move from selecting the solid to the hole?
Just tried it and it reacts similar to the next command- does not recognize the hole.
-
Probably a basic function but I have run a few searches and not seeing anything that addressed my particular need here.
I am working with 3d solids to create a metal base shoe for a beam stair stringer.
As I insert holes into the solid, I find myself needing to adjust their size- location - etc.....
I can select the 3d solid of course, but can't select the hole itself?
any suggestions are appreciated.

My apologies if I didn't understand the OP request -
I have designed bult several small commercial projects that have utilized canvas wall systems to enclose cover patio seating.
And as for my knowledge of construction being "shallow"..........
After 30+ years in the industry I know enough to realize that I will never know it all - and a can learn something new every day if I am willing to keep my eyes and mid open.

Use walls to create room under the stairs and set the ceiling heigh to match bottom of landing framing?
-
Are you refereeing to a canvas or similar material- that may be see through?
Maybe used to enclose a covered patio type area?

Thank you all for the feedback-
Chris- the tip for ctrl key - that helps for sure.

Late to the party in regards to X15 upgrade but here I am.
Jumped from X13 -X15 so if this was something that was a change in X14 forgive me.
One thing I am noticing is a difference in some sizing and movement as I scroll in and out.
For instance, as I move walls
I need to scroll -zoom in fairly close to make smaller jumps - if I am zoomed out very far at all the jump is larger than I prefer.see attached video.

Thanks all-
At this point I think the issue with the drawing I am trying to work with is that is in Raster format.
Is there a way to convert Raster to Vector so it then could be converted to DWG or some other format that can be edited in CA?
-
Thanks Jason-
I did give masking boxes a try, but only halfheartedly-
I will take another run at it with an eye to your notes above and see if I get anywhere.
much appreciated.
-
Thanks Greg-
in looked at Inksacape but don't see any options to convert to DWG
mostly SVG
-
Thanks Jason-
The issue is the pdf view is showing through the CA items once it is sent to layout -
In .plan with color toggled off the roof still blocks out the pdf line behind- which is te desired view in Layout
-
Just a quick follow up- is the Autodwg desktop download considered the best route to go for stable and quick conversions?
looks like 130.00 buys a lifetime license.
-
If you look at the Layout image you can see that the roof just to the right of the chimney is showing behind the new roof plane-
The dim out by the post as well.

Good day- and long time no post-
I am trying to create a simple drawing set for a small exterior roof addition to an existing home.
Based on the ARC requirements, a plan view and a couple elevations are really all I need.
The owner provided the basic PDF files of the elevations pages, and I have been able to create the 2 views I need- side and straight on.
The issue is when I send to Layout, the PDF background is showing through the new components - which is not the case in the elevation view in the plan file.
Any comments are appreciated.
Here is plan file view-
and here is the way it appears in Layout

Thanks Ryan-
Just what I was looking for- different direction than I was headed with the pantry.
I'll play with it and post whatever I come up with.
much appreciated .

I have been banging away on trying to come up with a new kitchen design for a remodel project and this one has me over a barrel.
In the attached screenshot I have clouded the area I have to work with - all existing walls that need to go have been removed and I have left the bearing walls and point loads that need to stay.
I want to get a kitchen with a pantry that will be open to the dining area and capture the views.
I also need a powder bath and / or bath 2 for bed 2- can be one or 2 rooms depending.
If anyone is interested at taking a swing at it, I am not hoping for a full design by any means- just a general layout idea that may kick me in a different direction than where I keep stonewalling at.
(I have pics of existing I can share but don't want to create any undue influence - I think that is a major issue I am having.)
-
Thanks Michael-
that did the trick.
-
That is correct Chop-
I assumed that since the PDF I received from them displayed the room sizes in feet and inches the model would be the same -
Does the obj file only recognize metrics?
If so do i need to change my preferences in CA to match? 0_2734-nw-three-sisters-dr-bend_1.pdf
Need help with an exterior siding/paint color problem.

Not sure how it works in HD - I believe they have their own forum- but in CA there is an option to blend texture with materials which should take care of it.
