Now  I wonder why you need 2 layouts to be checked to get the spell checker to work?

Obviously I was asleep when that was covered in class.

My point is that I want the spelling checked in real time when i can correct it immediately.

The spelling tool does not work for me in layout labels.

Can you show me an example?

I want spelling help on any field that can go into a schedule & any LABEL field.

Here is a layout label with no spelling correction.

I must be missing a setting, why are the windows not clear?

Oops, it was the window glass material!

If you have created layer sets for Floor Plan, Electrical, Framing etc.

You can change the layer set in the layout view.

The auto layer create when sending to layout is turned off to stop the creating of so many duplicate layer sets.

Use this method if you don't want to use the "Saved Plan Views".

Has anyone found a program that will work in DBX fields & Layout label fields to check spelling?

I'm working in Windows 10

Thanks

We can't help much without the plan file.

You do know that the wall DBX is used to control the roof that is over it?

Multi pitch roof plane are tricky.

BTW, used your first method, and rotated the cricket -22.5 deg and that worked as well.

If you're preference is that the cricket slope remain at 1/2:12, then we will need to alter the baseline. To do this accurately, we first need to know the baseline and ridge elevation of the cricket at 1/4:12. In your case, the baseline is 306" and the ridge is 308 1/4". The difference of 2 1/4" is the critical number.

 

Then, we need to know the length of the valley. All we need to do is dimension it or open that line and check it's length, In this case, it's approx. 152".

That is the solution I came to in my original post although you did a better job figuring out the angle needed.

I wanted a higher pitch in that cricket to better deflect the water. Although that may not be necessary.

Thanks for your time & knowledge. Much appreciated.

If the cricket slope is reduced to 1/4:12, then they join nicely.

 

Thanks for clearing that up, my mistake.

It's a rather large file so I sent you a link. I'd rather not post it here.

Maybe I'll create a simple version for this test.

Gotta take care of some other task right now.

Thanks

I think I understand but it does not seem to work.

Steve has a nice method for slope roof crickets where the base line is level.

But I'm needing a method for low slope roof with a parapet.

My method is to get the height of the triangle in red and along with the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Then calculate the small angle and apply it to a roof plane where the base aligns to the 12'-8.625" side.

This works but was thinking there may be a simpler way.

Any ideas?

Here in Florida 7-3/4 max for residential & 7" max for commercial.

The +/- 3/8 will not allow your to exceed 7-3/4", only -3/8.

This is why I avoid 7-3/4  & it is uncomfortable. Also the 10" tread is unconformable as well.

This can be tricky if the finished floors change from your specified thickness.

This is not what you are looking for?

I created these for a client.

Did you look at 3dwarehouse?

Great info DB!

Thanks

You can create a custom FIELD for the room name in the schedule but you will have to manually fill in  the room name.

This way the schedule is live, not a text object.

This example is a shower door schedule & the %room.name% only works because the shower has no room definition.

OK thanks, Ill be done with x14 soon.

Perhaps

Working in x14 today & when I double click on a room elevation view in layout the camera opens showing white space.

How can I get the cameras to do a "Fill Window Building Only"  when opening?

It seems to me as that should be the default action.

Monday brain fog here.

That did it.

Thanks

Here is a plan with that area copied.

Same issue.

That is set globally & in the camera
