    Thanks for the help everyone! Good to know for future, that it is something you have to manually do.

     

    I am not sure how you set up the roof but when I do dutch gables they always auto build real nice for me. 

  2. I couldn't get it to auto build without throwing things out of whack but just simply drew a roof plan over the front railing, made the eave heights the same and it came out great. I had to manipulate the roof connections and slide that gable wall back a tad to get it to look right.

  3. I have my labels set up like I want. Working plan is right but in electrical they are still uppercase and bigger font. I have messed with settings for a half hour and cannot figure it out. I can't stand minor things like this holding me up.

  4. Thanks, I guess suppressing will be the way to go. This was a problem in AutoCad but they had a weird code you could type in the properties box to get it to double line.

    Try opening up the room spec for the living room and make sure "Build Foundation Below" is checked in the Structure > Floor settings, then rebuild the foundation with the add foundation button.

    That was it, not sure why that was unchecked but glad it was an easy fix. Thanks!

  6. Hey guys, I have attached a quick sample of what I am having issues with all of a sudden with monolithic slabs. It won't build with a brick ledge and nothing shows up on level 0. I went thru my settings on the "brick 4" wall and cannot see where anything is wrong.

  7. Hey guys, is a widows walk nothing more than stopping roofing planes at a certain point and adding a zero pitch roof plane to close off the roof and then add railing walls above it to form a flat platformed space? I assume there are two types, a cupola type with windows and actual platform type. Client wants it just for looks and not be able to actually get up to the platform. The home is being built overlooking a bay. I guess the main question is how to get CA to recognize the space as a platform.

    In any view that you would like to display other plans, just click on the floor number in the toolbar and it will open that dialog.

    This is the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life. I had no clue this was a feature. Wow, lots more to learn on the program.

    You can show multiple plans in one camera view using the reference display.  You can even position them as well.

    Is this done in a camera view? Can you let me know where to fins this? It sounds like what another program in the past calls external referencing.

    There is a box to check for flush eaves, I believe it's in the structure tab. 

    Yeah I tired that and no luck. I am going to hit this at a different route and rebuild the roof from scratch and see where I went wrong.

  11. Hey guys, I am doing a roof with flared eaves. How come my soffit is angled if I left the boxed eaves checked? I need it flat. Looks like the wall accounts for the flat soffit since it has a gap and all. Thanks....

  12. I like the idea's here. I can do one site plan but do a CAD detail of the garage plans to copy and paste on the main home file. Thanks guys. What sucks is the garages will match the home and give that grand look for the renderings if they were all in one file.
