Talking about the other end, see my picture.

SO YOU HAVE TO BUILD YOUR OWN ARROW AND SECTION LINE?

trying to add a section symbol to a section view. I seem to remember seeing it in the catalog but can't find it again.

Curt, Strange that my end to end will not work but the manual dim will. That plan is not the one I was working on floor trusses and I was not the originator of the roof truss question. Just jumped in there & hijacked the thread. PS that's strange. I changed the dim arrow type & now working, changed it back to original & it's working too. Now I can't repeat the failure in this plan.

I posted the plan file here if that helps. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/5980-wall-junction-problem/#entry52498

I change anno sets to 1/2" which are much smaller. When I drag I can see the arrows & text for dim and plenty of room. When I release, the dim dispersal. No more time today so I'll check back tonight. Thanks

Oh I thought you replaced the default molding style with a manual one from the library. Funny how the mind leaps to conclusions. Maybe part of my dyslexia problem. I guess I muddled around till I caught up with you.

Ah, that did not work for me but I converted to a pline & pulled it back into place. Then deleted it. All is well for the moment. Thanks for the idea Perry.

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?
