How on earth did that happen? I promise I wasn't drinking whiskey when I started the plan file. haha

Here ya go, I am at a loss. An old gas station was torn down and my client is building his office on the lot and wants to go with the gas station theme. Kinda cool idea. In it's early stages and I deleted just about everything except the structure just to get it to upload. Williams State Farm-copy.plan

And then you got the fdn building a brick ledge under the door leaving a gap??

Anyone ever seen this on X17? I have been removing the exterior casing on windows, when the wall is brick veneer, for years for a true look. Now there are gaps around the windows? Also, why is the brick covering my door brick moldings? Just curious......It's like these past new homes I am doing in X17 throw curveballs on something lately and I haven't even messed with any settings. Thanks.

Will do!

Thanks Shane, it worked by building the fdn on this home but not on others. I will troubleshoot.

Any reason why this happens in X17 at door bottoms? Never seen it before when I input doors and it show the house wrap.

I have wondered the same thing.

I'm an idiot.......you were right haha.......that's what happens when I turn on the wrong layer.

I think I hit a setting or something. Why are more doors showing like this in plan view? Thanks

I try to warn clients of extravagant stuff like this but if they have the money and demand it I do it.

This worked beautifully and cleaner than segments.

Thanks man, I tried it but couldn't get it to work on mine but I did get it to work on another easier roof. Segments got it to work although I don't think it is 100% perfect. It does build really nice framing to what I did though. Upvotes to all who helped......

Thanks guys I was hoping this tool would work after adding a break on the mid span of the roof overhang. I love this tool but aren't having any luck.

Hey guys, the questions continue. This would be a first for me. Radiused exterior wall and roof. How would a builder do this or how can we break the overhang to curve with the wall if that would even look good at all?

100% agree.........when you really learn the program, your turn around times on each project get better and better. What used to take me over a week to model a complex home now takes a day or two. Invest and buy good computers (another write off) and clients will love the renderings produced and make you stand out from other competitors.

Us guys who use this for a living can only hope being grandfathered in and paying the SSA before it lapses every year will never change. I do not have time nor the energy to learn new software or god forbid go back to the stone age and use AutoCad. CA is built for speed and I like it. I'm 48 and still have a ways to go before retirement so there is just no telling what can happen over the next 20 years.

It's always something so simple to fix, thanks! Love it.......

Well, I tend to go months without having questions and it seems in the past 3 days I am getting several hiccups. I need to add a railing to close off this area below. Those openings are doorways with the trim removed. Besides manually drawing polyline solids is there a way to draw a railing wall without throwing the opening into chaos?

Thanks Rob!

Hey Guys, is there a way to get rid of this on the ceiling when doing walls below stairs. Should I be using pony walls?

No worries DB, I thought everyone did it the same way haha. I will change my ways and do it differently now. It actually makes more sense with how you and few others who chimed in here do it. I think what happened with me is from the very first time I started on X10 CA automatically inserted them in cabinets and I have done it that way since.

Why the eye roll? It has been asked before on here I just found. Besides, it has been the easiest way to do DW's for years IMO. I remove that cabinet from the schedule anyway.

I like this.......the DW is inserted into a base in my home by the way.

I just copied one built-in from X15 and will roll with that. Sometimes DW's aren't sandwiched in the middle but on the end of a base cabinet run.
