Okay sorry I thought it was concrete. So yes you should do the 2x8 construction / decking.

Sorry I didn't realize it was X12. First thing I did was make sure the heights are matching for the Porch / Open to Below, as well as the floor finish / structure. Uncheck Sil Plate in the railing specifications. Continue the railing across the stairway, but "break" into a separate section. Then the separate section over the stairway would just be the Beam. No Railing. I drew foundation walls below. As mentioned made the stair tread # reduced, and changed it to concrete. I could be wrong but I don't think there is a cost to upgrade to the new Chief? I think the monthly / yearly subscription covers all of them? Could be wrong.

Hi Bob, I tried to fix it as best as I could. Only the front beam won't connect there is a small space you may need a polyline solid to fill it in. It seemed like you had too many steps so I made it the minimum number just over 7" riser height. New file attached, hope it helps! NEW FRONT PORCH ADDITION 1256 BLOOMERY ROAD - New.zip

Hi Susan - the link is not working FYI

Thank you @DBCooper That worked! Thanks for your help too @tundra_dweller!

I wondered if it was a layer, I tried that and it didn't do anything

Hi there, I would like to show a dashed line where the man door / overhead door openings are in the foundation plan. It used to default when I used X15 but since using X16 I can't seem to figure out how to show it. Thanks in advanced! Ange

Amazing thank you!!

Hi there, How can I move the footing dashed line so it is centered on the foundation concrete only, and not centered on the entire wall depth including the framed wall. Thank you in advanced!

Hi @Doug_N, Rob was able to help me I had emailed him my plan. My apologies for the late response I was on holidays with no service. I do not currently have my BCIN # (only legal), but have been studying and am writing the Small Buildings next week. thanks, Angela

Thanks Rob - I just emailed you the file! I appreciate you taking a look at it!

Hi there, I am having issues with walls intersecting. Specifically I would like the the plywood / siding to be dragged back. Every time I seem to drag the layers back, it seems to just go back to where it was? Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I have attached some images and also took a screen video. Thank you very much in advance! 07.05.2025_10.27.16_REC.mp4

@Doug_N @GeneDavis @Alaskan_Son Thank you all for the recommendations. I ended up creating a door symbol which worked great! Symbol attached for anyone to use; Door Slab - Custom 6 Flat Panels.calibz

Hi there, Is there a way to have the door slab material align so the horizontal joints line up from the front of the door / side? Shown in the 3D view when the door is open. Maybe a solution would be to create a door symbol using polylines so it isn't a Ship Lap Material? Wasn't sure if there was an easy fix just using the material on a Slab Door. Thanks in advanced!

Thanks Rob, this worked out perfectly! I just made a material that was 100% translucent!
