I have an exterior stair in a courtyard but can not see in in the 2nd floor view. As it provide access to the room over the garage I want it shown on the 2nd floor plan as well as the 1st floor plan.

But perhaps the ones not fit for use in a layout should be separated so the user doesn't have to analyze the choice. One section for layouts & one section for Ray Trace. Why should I have to stub my toe on every quirky thing.

Glenn you are correct it is the type of tree. I used one from the Bonus Catalog & it is displayed. Thanks But you should be warned if the object can only be use for rendering or Ray Trace. Or did I miss the warning?

Layer is ON, I check & rechecked it.

I created a section view & the trees are there but when i add the view to layout the trees are missing. I checked the layer of the layout view & PLANTS are ON. I will post the plan if needed but after lunch. Thanks

Yea, another work around.

Perhaps someone can help with this one. The 1st floor has a landing at the front door, an elevated foyer. I broke the stair flights into two stair to be able to display the upper half as dashed and transparent. The 1st & 2nd floor stair do not align in length as the floor heights are different, this is intentional. All was OK until I tried to make all railings horizontal wire style. The problem I have is the 2nd floor stair railing & cleaning uo the angle on the 1st floor stair railing. 1st AveSouth2.zip

How do you handle this condition. I want hidden walls to be visible to me while working but some I don't want to print. What I want is a non printing layer for some walls.

As a new member I don't have access to that forum. Whats up with that?

I used a room divider wall segment turned into a railing. That when moved into the doorway killed the doorway unless the "No Room Def" was checked.

I think you also need to check "No Room Definition"

The molding does not offer tool

Sweet, Thanks Perry

One more issue. Need railing is door opening. If I add railing via the deck menu the door opening is deleted.

OK got the molding to return to the wall under the opening. It required that I use 3D molding and draw it in plan view 2nd floor out in the front yard. Draw a short leg then the long leg followed by another short leg to return back to the wall. The hard part is maneuvering it into place. I switched to front elevation to get correct height. Then used right side elevation to move it to the wall. I guess from the lack of replies that the Stool or Apron is not accessible to the user.

Got the molding added but can't seem to wrap the end of the molding like on a window sill? Also on the Windows I wanted a different apron & thicker sill. How is that accomplished?

The door one above the other worked fine but I am struggling to put molding around the openings. I'm off to watch a few videos.

Thanks for the ammunition, off to do some hunting.

What is the best way to punch a hole in the wall for the hatched area. It is an irregular shape & I want to maintain the room/floor area. I suppose you don't want to interrupt the exterior wall so you can maintain a room. The wall is 8" CMU, the window is actually 8' back on an interior wall.

Couldn't see the Forrest for the trees. Thanks

I can see it in views but not in plan, and yes the layer is on. 6227 Bayshore.zip

Odd, I get the message that I can not open the PLAN as it is a newer version. But I check online & it says I have the latest X6 software.

That was easy. Thanks Oops. looks like the 3D Text is not in the Free Version.

Scott, see if you can work with this ACAD file. Each letter is a block. If so did you want a different font? 3D_TEXT.zip

OK you did something different in the settings because my plan is still hazy.
