There are lines there to dim to. The larger dimensions work fine but the 16" dim fails.

I use the End TO End dimension on my elevation view elevation lines. When I try to do the 16" gap for floor trusses the dimension disappears as soon as I release the house button. It's as if the dim is too small to fit & some setting is removing the dimension. Your thoughts?

I have a curved wall intersecting a straight wall both CMU wall AND a railing wall that will be a screen porch wall. I rebuilt the intersection several times but will not clean up. The last try I used s short straight section of CMU wall to connect to the curved wall. Looks OK until you do a orthographic overview & see the interior molding shooting out the side of the wall.

Good video's Larry. Raining here too so I took a nap. The Stacked Framing is typical here. Some use a Rim board usually 1-1/4" thick but most use a truss that ends with two 2x vertical legs & the outer leg is short by 5.5" . This allows for 2x6 for lateral bracing.

Typically I like to place the roof trusses on the exterior wall. Then deck the roof trusses & then build the parapet wall.

Which parapet wall method bet work for framing in CA?

Larry with the roof selected you need to use the break tool in the right click menu or the lower left menu, not the one in the upper ribbon menu.

Oh forgot. Select the roof plane & use it's break tool to shape the roof to fit your odd shape.

No problem, drag the edges of the roof plane where they need to be. Under framing adjust the rafter depth & fascia depth Also add a shadow board.

As a newbe take my advice with a grain of salt. The roof tool is easy to modify & you can control depth of the structure (fascia) and other trim elements easily. All the elements are in one dbx. That's my 2cents

OK "Replace all on this floor" got most of them but not all.

OK I can't use the select similar tool but using insert column & Shift key allows me to select the 16 columns I want to swap out But the "Replace from Catalog" only works with one at a time, Did i miss something?

Oops it was a picture I flipped. The PDF still will not flip.

OK when I added the move it worked as expected. Go figure.

Oddly that too just rotated the pdf 180 deg.

Once in the plan can you mirror a PDF? The reflect about an object only rotates the PDF.

Oh I see, the Texture SCALE was x=8 y=7 Not sure what this relationship is to the texture but changing them to 24 & 14 got the results I was looking for. Not sure what the Depth is for for pattern?

I added a white 3x8 tile to the floor/ Then changed it to 12x18 with the material edit tool. Also change the angle 90 deg. When in Vector view it look like I wanted it but in Standard view & raytrace the tile is shown as the original 3x8. What did i do wrong?

Joe pointed out that I inadvertently left the window layer ON. Apparently even if you can not see the windows when the wall layer is off the fact that the layer is ON will allow them to be selected. When the Moves were made I did not check the house. Then I cleaned up the topo points and other items that needed adjusting. When i switched back to floor plan layer I saw the windows out of place. Some had jumped to other walls so it was not feasible to move all the windows. At that point I decided to abandon that plan. The site was correct though so I opened a previous plan where the house was in correct condition. I deleted all the site items & copied the other site I had modified & paste hold position in the old plan. that put the site objects in the correct position. Only problem was the terrain apparently will not copy from one plan to another. So I created a new terrain & the old terrain data I pasted worked OK. The fact is that there are items that will give you trouble with terrain changes like this. I just hope I can remember them next time this happens.

SO how much time you think I've got invested in this simple procedure?

So to fix it I deleted the terrain & all elements associated with the site form my backup plan. Then copied the moved site from the corrected plan & paste in place. Looks like the terrain perimeter can not be done that way. deleted the pline for the terrain and created a new terrain perimeter. Not quite fixed yet but getting closer.

Well I didn't see any windows.

Oh my, just noticed all the windows on the first floor moved! *@$%!

Thanks Joe I will. Perry, yes that is what I did. I created a few new layers for the text, slabs & trees that needed to stay with the house. Then created a new layer set with site plan only, no house etc. Moved the site, then adjusted all the topo & driveway as needed. Worked fine.

Good advice Tommy. I'm not up to speed on the anno sets yet. Smeagol, good idea. I was not aware of the tool. That would work for plan view changes. Quick and easy. My problem is that I wanted 3D views with the real site and that requires moving something 3D. Lew, that sounds like a good way to go. I would prefer to delete the site objects & paste in place the site objects. Then while still selected do the Move with transform replicate.
