Thanks guys, I guess this is right, I need another line. Seems like in the past I was able to just put a line at a different level than the terrain perimeter and it would just take the terrain at the level it is and flow to the one line. Sorry for the trouble.

This is a first for me, I have never really had any problems with terrains with basic contours. I have a simple terrain here drawn and an elevation line and an elevation region at different levels. But in camera view the terrain is still level. It started in another plan but seems to be in this plan to when I simplified it just to see if it was a plan specific problem. If I keep playing and add some more drastic elevations in different place I can eventually get it to show some drastic results but it is not performing as normal. Is there a setting I changed somewhere without realizing it? Terrain problem.plan

Thanks, I could find a way to eliminate the material on the cantilever but I just drew in invisible foundation walls and that fixed it. I figure it was something like that but I didn't think to try it. Thanks for leading me in the right direction.

Thanks, The concrete is a 1.5" overpour for the floor heat, it is on top of the OSB sheathing. I don't think that would cause my problem but obviously I am missing something.

I have a crawlspace under this addition and there is a surface there at the level of the bottom of the floor joist with no thickness and I can't click on it to figure out what it is. I can't get the file down to under 14mb even zipped so I have a link to a dropbox file https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/moyz5trozohubrrg0cycp/Problem.plan?rlkey=4fn1ul395kdfz0t0i5rtgaq63&st=i7jc3hjt&dl=0 That is not a room so there is not ceiling there I don't think. Camera #14 shows the space where the problem exists.

Wow, yes that works. Seems a bit silly but OK. I just have to go through and change all my window sizes so the ROs are right. But at least I know it can be done for the future. Thanks!

I am wondering if there is a way to raise up the window sill on the interior? We like to make the top of the window sill flush with the top of the inside of the bottom jamb so it becomes all one level, without that step shown here.

Thanks, at least it's not just me this time.

It seems that when I try using TJIs for roof rafters, they don't automatically size down to the sub-facia size on the overhangs like the regular lumber ones normally do. Is there a way of making this happen? I am using the I-joists for the roof framing and I want to frame the overhangs with 2x6 sistered on. I can detail it out on the plan but I was wondering if there was a way to sort of make it show on a framing plan without having my I-joist rafters extending all the way out? rafter.plan

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.
