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.

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.

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. Durango.calibz

Did you look at 3dwarehouse? https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/7525370f-7c87-4211-a3ca-a8d1638850d6/Medeek-Electrical-Low-Poly-Count

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 https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/search/?q=steel truss&quick=1&search_and_or=and

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. Shower door test.zip

That is set globally & in the camera

I know this has come up before but can't find it. How to make the glass door see through in vector view? The wall to the shower has the same glass and you can see through it.

This is the next house. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/3d-9b1746801625449e9f953d0ab2c0c427

Thanks, Yes but still working on the final details.

Thanks for that good advice. In this scenario, unlike most of my work, I am working for an Architect who pays me buy the job + hourly for changes. As expected the GC is working for the Owner. So I'm a glorified drafter and the original drafter did the plans in Rivet Sept. 2018. I worked on the plans converted to Autocad in 2019 & 2020. Then in 2021 I converted the plan to Chief as the revisions were getting too involved to continue in plain Autocad. Here is the 3 story framing: https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/3d-framing-83d8d746ff9c43aea8fe3093ed64f7ba Here is the 2 story exterior version https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/3d-overview-a7c93237f87a4770bd3ec4e5331a9796 The revision clouds are cluttering up an already clutter plan & the Architect wants to give the new GC a clean start for use in the field.

In my case the Architect want the plans examiner to get a clouded version & only corrections requested by him added to his plan. The contractor set would have no revision clouds as a clean beginning & clouds added after this date. I would have to add changes & clouds to permit set only if they are code related. I'm leaning toward separate layer sets in the same layout & plan but it may become impossible down the road.
