Hello Freinds! Any help would be appreciated. Plan file is attached ANA Deck.zip Question 1: I cant figure out why the post appear to have some extra materials attached to them. Question 2: I would like to extend the deck past the post a few inches, not sure how to acheive that?

I definatley ask more questions then answer so Im very thank full also! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

I was trying to go into the deck room and turn on moulding and use the verticall and horizontal setting for the base molding to put a molding on the outside. I gave up becasue I ran out of time for now but was intrestead to see if that works. I might mess with it later when I have more time. For now I will add a joist. Thank You Guy's

Thats the mistake I was making. I was trying to change the foundation from a room on the first level and I needed to be on the foundation leve and then it worked great.

I was looking through the room and deck specification dialog box and did not see a place where I can add a fascia board around the perimeter. I know that I can make one manually but was wondering if I’m missing something simple to have it added automatically. Any help would be appreciated!

SIDE NOTE: It would be nice if we had Audo Fill defaults. Unless we do and I just dont know how it works.

Make a mark (cad line) on the sheet so that it will show up in your index. Then when you go to print you just specify the sheets you want to print.

Thank you sir! I really appreciate that. Not sure why I didnt think of that.

Im having trouble getting the deck planks to display on the deck next to the pool. Plan is attached. Any help would be appreciated. Im sure its something simple that Im over looking but now I'm just getting frustrated. The decking should all be grey Deck.zip

Thank you Michael, I will exsplore that a little later today. Sounds like something I need to get familiar with anyway.

Thank You!!!

I really like that framing over lay with the shoe adjustment!

Can this video be downloaded? It keeps buffering and its very frustrating to sit and wait for it.

I think I will be patient and wait. Im sure they will send me an email before it exspires. Thank You

My SSA expires Jun 5, 2022. I tried to renew it but it doesnt give me the option. Is it to early?

Thank you for the great video! Im sure it will come in handy for future pools. I ended up doing it the hard way with individual bricks for a more realalistic look. I was having trouble getting the right brick size and the aspect ratio to stay the same with other tools, such as the molding polyline and countertop tool. Im not designing a pool, this one is existing, we are just changing out the coping and surrounding pool deck. Thank You

Im trying to create this brick coping around a pool. Couldnt find any instruction of how to do it. Everything at this point is just built out of concrete slabs and I cant seem to get any control over the size of the brick and the direction of the brick. Would appriciate any direction someone can give to help. Thank you!

For job building data that I submit to the city. I use poly lines. Much easier to see exactly what is being calculated and its automatic calculations with using macros.

To me it seems silly to include the stair area for both floors but I dont make the rules.

Thank you for that Charles!

Thanks for clearing that up. Was wondering if I miss read it

I agree with Joe Carrick and I add this: I always check to see if Im close on the square footage after I do the as-built just to see if I may have someing wrong but most of the time is pretty close. I also always jut put in what is recorded becasue I dont want to open a can of worms and try to fix it becasue its a waste of time. On the new area I calculate to exterior of the framing as per required by the cities that I work in. Note: Unlike Joe I dont measure to the exterior finish, I measure to the exterior rough framing for square footage. It's funny how this doesnt seem to be a standard accross the board with all cities and architects.

You may want to make sure you have the latest update for March for your X13 just in case. It cleared up a couple of issues I have having with the sections not showing things properly like the slab and flooring for example.

Thank you

I would like to build an abbreviations list using a text box. I couldn’t find anything that I could use to sort the list alphabetically as I build it. Do I have to use a macro or is there another way to do this? Help is appreciated
