I think you have a problem with your Wall Definition.  You indicate the exterior material is stucco but it's 7-5/8" thick and evidently you want to use CMU with a stucco coating on the exterior.

 

You should add an exterior layer to the wall definition. 

 

1" Stucco

7-5/8" CMU

3/4" Air Gap

1/2" Drywall

Ha! funny man. I guess you aren't buying the stucco.

Stucco is lucky if you get 5/8, here well specify :

STUCCO NOTE : ALL REFERENCES TO "STUCCO" ON THESE PRINTS SHALL BE

INTERPRETED AS MEANING "DECORATIVE CEMENTIOUS  FINISH" , SHALL BE

LESS THAN 5/8" IN THICKNESS AND COMPLY WITH ASTM C 926 &  ASTM C 1063

And all dimensions are to outside of block so stucco is ignored for dimensions & at typical 3/8" is not worth showing.

Just my take.

This is getting interesting

See attached, looking at more soffits around the house I see this. Doubled freeze.

The larger one is from the roof plane that I added.

Where is the smaller one coming from?

But what if the OP wants 9-1/4" rafters?

That fixed it for me.

I guess somewhere there is a default that I need to change.

I have the same problem with my 8" stucco wall.

The roof plane when parallel to the drywall, i.e. snapped into place did heal the open end.

The cut & drag covers most of the exposed drywall from the interior wall that is extended up to form the gable wall.

There is still a little drywall showing & the Freeze is open. Not a big deal as I won't be zooming in with views used on the plans.

Manually break (line break tool) the outer edge and wrap the corner about 6" or if all else fails a quick poly-line solid cap to the end. Either method should work.

I now how to do a solid but how to break the roof plane in such a way to close the hole?

I can do this with an additional roof plane but not what I wanted.

In elevation you can select the gable wall and drag the gap closed.

See attached, how to close this end?

See attached file with hatches deleted & only hatch outlines remain.

NACC SUITE 118. Level 0.zip

Wow what a mess. That DWG is nothing but hatches, no lines or plines.

Could have used it last week on electrical.

I miss the ENTER to repeat the last command. (ACAD works that way, also has option to use Multiple on most commands)

To me that is more versatile.

OK more dumb questions from the newbie.

I have 5 bar sinks in the medical office and when a schedule is created they show up as "Square [13]"

When I select the sink via select then tab it is a CAD block.

I can select the cabinet & then components  and I see the fixture & can re-label them there.

What I want to do for future insertions of this sink is fix that label in the library object.

Help says I can edit in place with tools i.e. edit it using any of the options in its contextual menu

Can't find a way to edit it. The catalog list it as "Square" under Bar Sinks I can't even change that name.

Do we have access to these objects?

Thanks for the input.

I figured out what is causing the odd elements in the picture posted but not how to correct it.

The porch is a room with invisible exterior walls. Although not seen these walls are driving the roof & ceiling objects.

The Beams that hold the roof up are set back from the exterior of the wall some 6 to 8 inches so the ceiling ( am guessing) is a vaulted ceiling element that is now exposed.

Why it is offset from the top chord of the trusses I haven't figured out.

Spoke too soon, I got the Gable end wall back but no Freeze is showing.

I modified both roof plans to add freeze & shadow boards. I don't know what a shadow board is.  I thought it was the same as a freeze.

OK I solved the attic wall issue. I needed to be in plan view AND in the Attic Level to fix the gable end at the rear.

Oops looks like the file size may have choked the upload.

Try this:

Plan attached.

Do I need to do that Save Complete or can you manage with .plan file as is?

Also while you are looking, I deleted the rear gable walls trying to get the freeze to go all the way down.

It only appeared on the gable wall over the covered porch. Now I can't get the gable wall to rebuild.

CA is so new to me that I am struggling with some of the basic things, at least they should be basic things.

Look at the attached picture,

I think the ceiling plane extends out too far so the poly solid I used for the arch doesn't cover the ceiling.

Also looks like the eve vents or something is exposed below the soffit that is following the roof slope.

How to deal with these items?

Looks like you need a cad program to do the CAD & CA to do the 3D. $$

Oh wow, I'll have to do some reading on that tonight.

Thanks

 I also use a reference set just for site plans, that way you get the 2nd floor roof to show.

What is a Reference set?

Plants in plan View, can you change the size of the 2D symbol & not the 3D size

I would like to reduce the tree 2D symbol by 1/2 & leave the 3D as is.

Repairing a plan view site plan I want the exterior wall doors & windows to show but none of the interior features, walls, doors etc.

I can turn most things off but the walls & doors are a problem. The roof layers are on but do not hide the interior walls.

Plans examiner want's to see egress windows or doors on rooms adjoining the remodel area to verify egress was not eliminated.

Worked perfectly Perry, Thanks

I have a stem wall foundation and where the wall is thickened to 16" and joins the 8" wall the foundation does not show the needed 4" area of the foundation.
