The plan is over 80 mb. I spent a bunch of time trying to strip it down and got down to about 40mb, still way to big. That's why I put it in a drop box to share with the original post. It was the only option I could come up with.Yes, the wall should show siding above and drywall inside the house below the roof. That is really the core of my question, why this is not working. Thanks for your time looking at this and responding.

Thanks, The pony wall is set to the interior wall type, that happens automatically apparently when you check the box "lower wall type if split by butting roof" . Maybe that is not what I want, I guess I could just keep it as in interior walls and use wall material regions for the siding. I found I had a ceiling height in one of the rooms that was causing the wall not to build up into the peak, (even though no flat ceiling over this room was checked). So I guess I will forget the different wall types above and below the roof and set it to interior and the I can put the thicker sheathing and siding as a material regions on the exterior.

I have a wall here I can not figure out. It is mostly an interior wall that has portions that are on the exterior to be a different type than below the roof. But the side that the siding need to be on is opposite on each end. But I don't think that is the problem necessarily, for some reason it builds as an interior 6 above roof even though it is set as a siding wall to have interior 6 below.. Why doesn't it build up into the high gable? I mirror copied it from the other similar wall and that other wall seems to be working fine. Why is the exterior portion above the roof still Sheetrock? What is going on in that inside interior corner where there is some siding showing? The interesting thing is, I rebuilt it and it all looked great till I closed it and reopened it again, then this problem still persists. The only difference between the two walls that I can see is this wall that I am having the extra trouble with does not carry down to the main floor. That is intentional, that is going to be open on the main level, this wall is just on the second level. I have a picture here that sort of shows the issues. It's a large file so I have it in a drop box here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/gsypb3i6xyxmsv482lell/Complete-rebuild-8-15-25.plan?rlkey=vunr5v60zq4ybo9o3xmnx9rsy&st=pamirn5y&dl=0

Ahh... you have to do it for each material. Dang. I know I have been through this before, hopefully I can remember next time. Thanks Michael!

I have been going through this plan and i can't figure out why the floor joists always frame as I-joists. I have set the defaults and room floor structures, everything i can find. I have turned off auto framing. I can change individual joist to framing but they change back when I reframe the floor. And why is my subfloor sheathing showing as strips on top of the joists? I know this is something simple again but I can't figure it out. I am using x17, (I know I need to change that in my signature). Floor joist problem.plan

Thanks Sir, this is awesome. I am studying it to figure out exactly what you did but this is great, I really didn't think it could be done.

I am wondering how I would set up my main floor to be like this picture, ICF foundation walls with slab floor sitting partially on top of the ICF but inside the main floor wall framing. The double treated sill plate is total 3" thick so the bottom of the 4" slab goes 1" below the top of the ICF wall. Can this be set up or do I just have do do it with a CAD detail?

Thank you! I guess I should have remember the "balloon through" from our last conversation. I still have a little corner up there to cover but I can take care of that easy enough.

I wanted that partial wall to go all the way up as it will be behind a fireplace. But I suppose I could just build it as a polyline solid. It just seems sometimes like as advanced as this program is we still have to say things like "attic walls can be frustrating" and have to find workarounds for certain things. I expect someone will eventually chime in here with a solution and it will all be so simple, but it seems like there are several points in every project where I waste a tremendous amount of time on some little things like this. Anyway, thanks. I will probably just use solids which is the answer to so many of these issues.

Ok Makes sense, I didn't see that. But still, why is that wall sticking out like that? I have tried everything including redrawing the whole thing.

I have this weird attic wall sticking out into space. I have tried redrain everything and it it still there. Funny thing is, it only shows up on a full camera or perspective full overview. When I go to perspective floor overview camera it is not there. Wall problem 2.plan

Thanks for all that. I didn't notice that little part of the roof sticking in there. But it seemed to be the ceiling height that really solved the issue. Dang, I don't think I would have figured that out.

What is wrong with this gable wall? I just want it to carry all the way across and be interior below the roof and exterior above the roof and I get this. Wall problem.plan

Thanks, I got rid of all the pdfs but I don't want to start deleting all my symbols and things. In the past I could just turn off the layers that the symbols are on and then they wouldn't take time to be rendered every time I do something in camera view. So it generates a camera view in maybe half the time now which is still way to long. Even with all the layers that the complex symbols are on turned off. I wish now I would have saved a copy in x15, I could just use that for this drawing, it has become pretty much unusable for me now. Anyway, thanks for the help. I will watch it with the PDF files in the future.

I uploaded the entire plan files here. I don't know if I did this right... https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vlNLXzGaN_jE4YLLMf7Yuop0ySral756?usp=sharing
