That method does work. Thanks I did a bug report.

I'm attempting to "select similar" while using the LINE tool and holding the shift key and the "Select Intersection Objects" is active. The problem is that it selects Text & leaders too! Is this a bug?

Maybe this? https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/wired-glass-pbr-substance-material-0d7c5010451f4f00aea677f29e7135f3

Use solids, create a side & top panel. Copy & paste the sides, rotate into place & make into a single object, then copy 2 times. Make the frame a different material at the start.

Tech support suggested moving the thin wall slightly to auto align with the thicker wall. This did not work for me. I was able to turn temp dimensions off & zoom in very tight and point-to-point move the thin wall. That fixed the room table. You can see how small the misalignment was!

Joe, How do you deal with a wall type that has 3.5" sound insulation in it? The project I'm doing, small laser studio, has mostly insulated partitions. So I have a wall type for that.

Thanks Joe, I've messed with the 3 wall intersection with no luck. You solution will solve my problem.

Not all rooms do this? [Edit] I just sent it to tech support.

I would like the wall material to show only the material inside that room. Can that be done? The exterior walls display stucco which I do not want to see in the schedule.

I did this with added Mtext object. There are only 5 wall types in the plan.

That is what I'm up against. There seems to be no way around this limitation. i.e. limiting the wall comparison in the table. I suppose if you knew you way around material list one could tease out a similar table using that material list?

I have that checked for wall length & it produces the table above. I wanted to go one step further & use my formula to get 2 times the length to get drywall length. When I do that the table separates all walls and I get a very large table.

I wanted a simple wall table with an added field to show 2x the wall length for drywall length. But when I added this %(length / 12 * 2).round(2)% to one of the fields in each wall "object Information" the table displays all walls as line items. Is there a way to do this and keep the simple table?

I'm sure you had to do a lot if work to get that macro to work properly. Mine is adequate for me even if I have to manually enter the overhang amount. I draw a polyline to get the total length even though it will not work in all cases. Thanks for your input.

OK Thanks

There are a few here: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/search/models?q=lion

I tried this in a text object without success: "Projected Overhang Area: #{projected_overhang_area}"

Is the open or closed cell spray foam any cheaper in your are?

Thanks Joe. BTW what insulation type & R value are you using for roof plane?

Is there a ruby variable that would return the default roof overhang value? I'm using this in a roof ventilation calculation text object. I used 1.4' as a constant in the version. Ventilation Requirement Calculation Attic %$attic_area.round(0)% sq ft / 150 = %($attic_area/150).round(1)% sq ft. required ventilation area %$soffit_Length% lineal feet of soffit x 1.4' width vented area = %($soffit_Length*1.4).round(2)% sq ft vented soffit x 0.08153 (11.74 sq.in. vent per sq ft / 144) Soffit Vents Total %($soffit_Vent=$soffit_Length*1.4*0.08153).round(2)% sq ft Off ridge Vents 3 ea 4' = 414sq in / 144 = %$ridge_Vent = 2.9% sq ft %($ridge_Vent.to_f + $soffit_Vent.to_f ).round(2)% sq ft vent area provided (%$soffit_Vent.round(2)%+%$ridge_Vent.round(2)%)

I was able to get it by changing the base line slope & the pitch.

I did a few of these 10 years ago but forgot how I did it. The new ceiling addition on the rear is [9'] one foot higher than the existing house [8']. I want a sloped plane between the two roof sections. Any ideas?

Thanks for confirming Robert.

Main roof is cantilevered trusses with 24" overhang. One 10' section needs to be a shed roof over a pop-out. How do you mix flat soffits & sloped soffits in the same roof plane? Or do I need to create another roof plane over that section? I built the framing in that area manually.

Clever solution. I suppose you could capture that with CAD Detail from View & make cad block. Then close the wall again. That way it would not show up on Electrical & HVAC plan views. Just a thought.
