Here is another one. I tried the copy and paste in place but that doesn't seem to do it. I would like to subtract the red item from the blue block. I get the same error message. Tub.plan

I am still having more of this same problem. I am trying to subtract the two red objects from the gray object and I get the error: BooleanBehavior.cpp(424): Warning #272032185 "The Boolean operation could not be completed." 12/18/2022 05:39:35 PM Build: 24.3.0.84 Windows 64-bit I used to have to convert them to solids but now that is not an option. Knife.plan

Thank you Steve, this is all very helpful
-
Thanks, yes I was p[laying with shadow boards etc myself. It's all about a way to cover that edge I guess. But I am really more interested in how you got rid of those little corners of the walls that were sticking through the roof.
-
Thanks for this, Steve. I appreciate the time you put into it. It does give me a few tips on constructing roof though having auto rebuild roofs on always causes frustration but likely there is something more I need to learn there. Anyway, what I was really trying to do was to get away from having a roof fascia altogether. Weird, I know, but I am trying to do an as built drawing and that is how it is. So just a minimal metal trim or drip edge and then going right into the siding. But I can get there with solids or something. What I would really like to do is figure out why I occasionally have these little corners of walls sticking through roofs. This is a constant aggravation for me, happens all the time. Seems like roofs always cut walls except when they don't.

Still having some problems with these walls. I really just want to have the roof surface meet the exterior wall surface with minimal drip edge or trim. I can't get rid of the gap there and now there is a little tab of the wall that sticks up in the corners through the roof. Any help with this would be appreciated. more problems.plan

This is great stuff, thank you for the detailed instructions!
-
I can't figure out why my walls are not meeting the roof. I run into this a lot and usually finagle walls by puling on their handles etc but changing from gable wall to hip wall etc seems to make no difference in how the wall acts. I just want them to act like when I first drew them where they just automatically connect with the roof. plan.plan
-
I see now. It just didn't like that I drew a room in the middle of that interior space, (?). So you connect it somewhere else and then it lets you delete the other wall. Guess I have just never come across that situation before. Thanks,
-
Thanks, seems silly to just create room dividers. Is this new with 14? I am still unable to connect that wall like your drawing shows. I drag it over and it snaps back to the wall divider line and show a yellow exclamation point about unconnected wall.
-
For some reason I can't connect this thicker wall to the wall behind the cabinet and in trying to do so, somewhere along the line it created this invisible wall that I can not delete... Wall issue.plan

I have always tried to keep in mind the complexity of the drawing and the other tips listed above when I have used past versions and I continue to do that but there is no question x14 is slower with the same drawings I was doing with 13. I never keep anything set for automatic rebuild so that is not an issue. It definitely has to do with camera views but again, I am doing nothing now that I wasn't doing with x13. Also another thing that I thought was just a passing thing but have become a persistent problem is occasional freeze ups. Just working normally and suddenly I can't click on anything or do anything. A couple times I waited maybe 15 minutes and it would start working again but most times i need to go to task manager and shut down the program and hope that there is a automatic backup that is a little newer than my last manual backup. I am not sure if anyone else is having issues like this. I hope a future upgrade will help if they are just bugs. The couple projects I have been working on I did not save as x13 versions so I can't go back to 13 with those. Guess I have learned something there too. Maybe x14 requires a machine upgrade...
-
Just checking in on this subject too. Extreme slowness since I upgraded to 14. I am using plans created in 13 so have not tried anything new yet but otherwise I haven't been able to locate anything that helps the problem Slowness everywhere even just bringing up the properties box and changing something... might as well go read a book after hitting every change.

I am wondering if there is a way to have some rafters plumb cut and some square cut on the same roof plane? Or can I somehow take a single roof rafter and change the angle cut on the bottom, (or top for that matter). It would be nice if I could go to a cross section and manipulate the shape like I can with a poly line solid.
-
It would be nice if there was a way to use other rendering techniques like adding line over the standard view etc. It seems like it could be a great tool but it falls short.
-
Thanks Eric, I am seeing the ways of my errors. Or errors of my ways. All this time I had been drawing my solids by drawing a square or circle and ten converting to a polyline solid rather than just using the polyline solid tools and drawing it as a solid to begin with. It seemed to work OK in the past but this has been a good learning experience. I will now use the correct tool for drawing the solids. ....a little bit at a time... Thanks.
-
Here I was able to upload the plan this time. polyline solids.plan
-
I have tried all that. Nothing works. In older versions I would have to convert both symbols to solids before it would work but now I don't have the option to convert the cylinder to a solid. Before I rotated the cylinder in an elevation view, I could subtract the box from it just fine whether I had converted it to a solid or not. It's just the rotated cylinder I am having trouble with. Apparently. I don't know why it is not letting me upload the plan file here...
-
I am trying to work with polyline solids. I have created a box and a cylinder that overlap each other. As long as I keep them in their original orientation I can subtract one from the other but if I go to a side elevation and rotate the cylinder, now I try to subtract one from the other and I get and error "this boolean operation could not be completed". I used to do this all the time with x12, so I don't know if this is an upgrade issue or what. I am trying to upload the example plan but I get an error in uploading "an unknown server error occurred" I have attached an imaged instead.

This is awesome, I was able to use the Marvin regular slider and modify it. I should have known it would be so simple. Thanks!
-
For some reason the Marvin Window and door library has a stacked slider door but it is really just a 4 panel slider with two panels sliding out from the middle which is not what a stacked slider is. I went to 3dwarehouse and they have the unit I want. Question is, how do I make it act like a door where I can adjust the divided lites and trim and jams etc. I have attached the file of the house with the door from 3d sketchup installed. Thanks, plan.plan

Thanks, I am not sure what you are doing with the wall definition specs here. But let's even go more basic than this: how do I draw a slab inside ICF walls with no crawlspace or anything underneath, just fill? And then how do I put a double treated plate on top of my ICF wall?

I guess the plan I sent was confusing because I tried to draw something simple to illustrate since my actual plan was to big. Let's just start with this question: How can I make an ICF wall that goes down to frost footing with a double plate on top and the top of the slab floor is level with the top of the double plate? I have a detail attached. ached.
