CA should delete a dormer if it throw an error message.

Tried your method. Chief said dormer too close to another dormer...but there were no other dormers. I checked in all layers. No other dormers. I will have to try manual.

Thanks Joey, found it!

I tried modifying the dormer defaults but didn't see a height or width entry box.

Thanks Joey, I'm sure I'll be doing it manually but I'd like to try your method. Can you plez direct me to auto gen for attic walls?

I'd like to know how to fudge two dormers on the roof over the front porch. I'd like them moveable no matter what is under the roof. One method complains there's no wall so cannot create. Other method says cannot create because of a wall in the way. Can someone easily add two dormers using some kind of magic? Thanks! front roof done.plan

I apologise, but I cannot today. Maybe tomorrow evening?

I’m actually have trouble even following this thread. So many posts and sometimes I’m not sure wh is talking to whom? Did y’all catch that proper grammar? I apologise it seems that I have missed a response.

Thank you Glen. Yes. That would be great. Please let me know when you have some time.

I will stop posting questions on this forum as I can never know if my question is too remedial for everyone's taste. Going to try Chrisb22's method from now on.

I can read forum posts and watch lots of videos just fine. Ocassionally I turn off snaps when I need a finer gradient of moving objects. The whole baseline thing is NOT because I think baselines at angles are cool...I just didn't notice they got shifted because I am not the greatest as setting my plan view up so baseline stand out against all the other lines.

Thanks for that! Much appreciated.

That’s a shitty thing to say to someone who is dyslexic. Reading is a momentous challenge for me so I opt to watching videos and Q&A.

Got it! Thanks

I actually have. And I've never seen one that said you should not draw a plant that could intersect another plane that is at a different height because it will make original plane take on the height of the plane it overlaps (even though they are drawn on different floors. There may be lots of nuances that these videos don't cover.

Thanks. What did you mean by 'tile the 3D view and floor plan"?

All layers are on and it is an object I copied from another CA file (which shows in that plan view). Any thoughts? Plan attached. Thanks ashley_progress.plan

He only does 2D. Thanks! Thanks all!

I create 3D exterior views.

I'm just doing what the architect asked for.

Anyone willing to TeamView and help for $25?

I did that and it blipped and looked exactly the same as before I did it.

How did you do that? My roof planes go way up on the 2nd floor?

I had it correct in my first file. But someone helped with another issue using auto build and this also auto built and I cannot remember how I did it. I attached thw wrong file at first bur reattached the correcrt file.

Yeppir.
