Yep, I was a continues wall before then.

The trick to fix the FDN wasn't reworking it but stretching the wall above across the bay window and it making one entity instead of sections, if that makes sense.

That definitely made it look better with the gutters. Now to figure out this foundation.

Hey guys, so I inserted a bay window. Raised the floor 36" and lowered the roof 12". It's messing up my foundation and rebuilding the Fdn won't even fix it. Any suggestions? Also, when I break the roof plan to cover the bay window bump out the gutters mess up. I I guess it's either turn off the gutters or leave as is? (The HOA wants to see gutters). I get the bay window isn't in the best place and creates an unpleasant roof but that is where the kitchen sink is and the front door are. I will look into other options for a more pleasant design but need to figure out the fix for this first.

I swear, been a user since x10 and feel there are still certain features I am missing out on.

Learned something new. It was a beam ran across a carport. It didn't trim and lap the joists in the living room when I ran a beam in there though. (this was after I posted the thread).

Been using X17 since the new year and for the first time ever I insert a ceiling beam and it cuts my joists and laps them. Too cool, was this an update or was it always in settings? I use the same plan file template for all projects and have not adjusted any settings for it to do this all of a sudden.

Nevermind, apparently there was already a post on this so I retracted back to previous video card driver.

Well, something new for th first time ever. X17 opens then shuts down. I updated nvidia, alienware, windows etc. today so I supposed that has something to do with it? I have restarted several times as well.

Hey guys, how do I get rid of this railing wall bottom when a carport is attached to the home and rear porch/deck? Hope the screenshots help...... Rear porch was made with railing walls and named "deck". I like to use railing walls to form a carport and remove the railing then manually input the posts and beams. Home subfloor is 36" above grade and carport space was formed with -35" floor height so the slab sits slightly above grade.

I tried doing that last pic a few years and it looked pretty good. I took a google maps screenshot of the lot and use it as a backdrop in CA. You know, before AI was coming out.

Well I've used chat gpt to change exterior wall materials and colors and it seemed to work fine. I even deleted a curved stairwell in one of my plan files and asked AI to make a better curved staircase and it worked nicely. Today I put it to the test and I wouldn't say it is to scale but it did a great job when I told it to merge these two screen shots of the floor plan my client wants. I searched everywhere but failed to find the web link. AI couldn't even find it with all the info put in.

Good feedback guys, I usually do 3:16 with the front elevation at bottom of D size sheet and 1/4" rotated on D size sheet when it fits so they have both but will take into consideration all these suggestions. I will be honest I have never used match lines and interested in learning more now.

What does the match lines do?

Yeah, I was thinking plumbers scale it to place the pipe inside the fdn forms before pouring the slab too.
