Well, what I had to end up doing after troubleshooting is just do polyline solids on this project. I had complete control of it this way and it came out nice.

Yes sir I do! Very puzzled

On today's episode of "What in the hell is going on?" We visit a situation to where stairs, depending on their current mood of the day, will either (a) connect and mitre or (b) waste your time and never connect. Here we have three identical, i repeat identical, sets of stairs I wanna join and mitre but they aren't having it. What really is the secret in CA to make this work? Some jobs they cooperate immediately and others I have to hop on here to get your thoughts.

Thanks guys for the suggestions.

Oh don't you worry we revised it for the parking spot.

Very true Joe. Beings this has been a request after the home was designed, I am trying to avoid adding any new floors. I will keep this in mind for future projects.

I guess at the end of the day I can just add a note for the storage above to be "per builder" and just show it with no flooring between. Thoughts?

Here we go again with a weird request. Is it possible to add a space between floor 0 & 1? Attached below is what I am trying to do. I will show my settings for the room space floor and ceiling heights. The space below the main level is -200". If I split the height in half and give the golf cart and bath a 100" ceiling height then it jacks up my main level flooring and brings it down. I really hate requests like this and it slowing me down. I hope I am clear on what I am trying to achieve and it being correct on my drawings and cross sections. The -16 3/4" is to the bottom of the floor trusses.

gotcha! I hate decks.

In the structure tab of the room specification.

Thanks guys, six years later working with CA and there is still so much I need to learn.

I am about pull my hair out on this deck framing issue. Every time I reopen the files where I have decks, the framing disappears. It gets old rebuilding it every time. What is up with that? That HVAC platform should have joists beneath and a couple 6X6's. Same with the front porch.

Good input guys, nothing is ever easy with custom requests.

Hey guys, does CA offer these type of railings? Or maybe I should ask how can it be done besides manual pline solids? The cable inside the "X" members I get.

Good info TeaTime!

I am not good with this tool, I can get some brick courses to look halfway decent but forget about it when it comes to arches. How do you guys get this to look symmetrical and follow the arch. Shown below is a polyline solid arch I made after trying to use a door lintel with a 5/8" thickness and it going nuts when I applied the brick course material. The lines should be perpendicular and not 90 deg. It's nearly impossible to make all lintels symmetrical when you mess with the adjust material def tool

It's not for wheelchair access but more of a rare request. I hear what you are saying though.

I built it in CA.....I can email it to ya if you like.

works pretty good but I couldn't get the bottom to follow the driveway for a nice tie in. That's why I like pline solids.

Is there a way to slice thru a 3d solid and keep the curvature like redlined below? I did it 3 years ago but cannot for the life of me remember how I did it with CA cad tools. Top level with porch and bottom level with grade/driveway. Oh the requests I get from clients.

oh ok, makes sense.

Hello fellow chiefer's. Is this normal? It is the second time I have caught this. Clearly there are two different types of cabinets shown but have the same numbers for the schedule. We have a regular base cabinet with door and upper drawer and one with three drawers. Confused?? each should have their own number and I updated/renumbered the schedule to see if they would change.

I just turned the terrain to asphalt material and poly lined the parking lines, parking bumps and handicap paintings. The keyword is poly lines. I have done a bank, coffee shop and bistro/cafe this way.

I got it to work by manually gripping the window and sizing accordingly and then match roof. The circled area has been an issue for years.

Already tried that as well as manipulating the height of the window size. Nothing works......
