Is there a way to stop in the middle of a spline walk through path, and wait 10 seconds, then pick up on the rest of the path?

The thread was moving in the direction of guessing where CA placed parts of a pony wall. I was saying it is clear based on the dbx.

LOL. I meant to say "It is clear"...

Is it not clear from the dbx (and the image on the right) which is top and which is bottom?

Thanks. Interesting. The foundation is auto generated based on the location of the porch wall. I wonder, then, why CA did not align them. Although, in the excellent video I am watching on this particular house, there is a -4 offset from the foundation. Could that be the cause? So, is pulling down / pulling up a wall an 'amateur move' or one I should keep in the toolbox for its expedient results? I'm trying to assimilate the best techniques of folks in the forum. Thanks!

It is defined as a porch. Does that count as a room?

Here's one case where CA doesn't seem to follow real world building techniques. Indicating that one wants a pony wall on a foundation should not prompt builders to wall-in a porch. What am I missing here? Thanks! easy porch with columns.plan

I think it is because I added the brick to the foundation/molding feature. Is that a bad thing to do? It was done in the video.

Do you mean like this? easy porch with columns.plan

Great tip! I'm watching the video CJSpud kindly mentioned and after I'll see how CA puts a roof on it. Thanks!

Are you saying to change it to ABSOLUTE? I did and it no longer dropped. Can't figure out why the left one dropped but not the right. Same numbers.

Unrelated...as far as I know but the left column must have a connection for the terrain for this to happen. 1. When a terrain is added the left most column descends in the Z direction by about 40 units. I've seen this happen several times in other plans. 2. The porch is a bit too small for the pedestals I selected. What method is preferable for increasing in the x,y directions such that the pedestals fit well on top of the concrete porch? pedestal falls.plan

I found that only works in a cross-section view, but it does work! Thanks much.

This was the recommended method by a forum member. Previously, I was creating the arch in another software, importing and positioning. I'm practicing the advised technique but hit a tiny snag. In order to create empty space to place columns under the arch heel, I selected the wall and placed a cut point then pulled the wall section up. This should work but how do I precisely do the same thing on the left side. My snaps are not snapping. If there is a better way to remove wall under th arch heel, I'd like to find out. Thanks! drag wall up.plan

Yes. TeamViewer.

Yes, delete everything in my plan before saving as a template. Thanls much1

What if I delete my plan and save it on the template directory as a plan. Then I can pick it from open template. Is that any diff than doing exports?

Thanks!!!

I know how to change them for each new plan but is there a way to change them so when I create a new plan the changes are there? I looked in preferences and default settings. Thanks!

Thanks for eveyone's input. I'll need to get a live tutor to resolve this.

Maybe I should just use autodimensioning.

Did everyone here starting out need a live tutor?
