Hey guys, Why do interior walls show a line where the top of the pony wall is? Is it on a certain layer?

when i discovered plan check it really saved me alot of time on things.

this has really been a request from my clients lately. it kind of clutters the plan but the info is really helpful to them when reviewing.

I show the entire house on elevations and hatch out the existing structure on plans views.

very true!! this worked.

thanks ridge!

the problem was on the foundation wall type. i had the air gap and brick on the main layer not exterior.

cool, thanks! how do you set up a horizontal brick wall cap to close off the foundation at the top? just seeing if your way is easier.

exactly like this.......

I forget how to set it up to where the exterior side of the stud wall is in line with the exterior side of the running block. (bumped outward)

I have been messing with numbers and can't get it just right. Anyone know how to get this type of door exact? door size is 72"X96" It's like I need to get the casing to move up higher to be symmetrical all around.

thanks man, i try to move the grips and it goes nuts but obviously you got it.

guys, to further complicate this home, it has a false ceiling. the living is vaulted all the way from the kitchen to the fireplace below two different height gables. my problem i ran into from day one is the highest gable coming down into the living space. i ballooned thru ceiling above but nothing. it has to be on top of the ceiling planes i manually created to close off the gable at attic level. i am not grasping these attic walls on this home......arghh. plan attached an dupdated. dormer also has to be functional and open to living space.

You guys are great, i always learning new ways from the forum. Thanks.

you totally rocked that! was it just a matter off connecting roof planes or did i have wall properties messed up? (i.e gable walls) thanks man!

can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong on the left side gables?? it's a mess and needs cleaning up/roof planes joined. attached is my cad pdf and the plan file. i have been fighting this for a few days. this one is getting me stumped. it is done in x12. home characteristics: all rooms have 9' ceilings front porch is 10' ceiling back porch is 9' ceiling highest ridge is 23'-10" roof pitches are 10/12 dormer pitch is 3/12 porch pitches are 4/12 Harris_Ward.plan

oddly, it was on slabs layer. maybe i missed that layer turning them on and off

Can anyone tell me what these are on the framing plans? I turned all the walls off and then went through every layer turning them off and they still exist. They seemed locked and you cannot click them. I have only see this in X12. This is the first time in X11.

Ohhhhh, I get it it. The whole time I was thinking the height was for the height of the molding so I was inputting 3". It's actually the height above floor. I am used to seeing height in absolute, terrain and finished floor options. Thanks guys.

Guys, I am not too good with manual mouldings. I need to add a piece of moulding where it's circled but it keeps putting it on the floor. Why can't we give it a height above floor. I draw the line in plan view and make it a 3d moulding polyline. Apparently I am doing something wrong. The mouldings you see in the pic are automatic with the cabinets.

yes, auto elevation dims works great. i just really like the centerline dims that NKBA throws in. thanks

more, very aggravating and time consuming to pull the grips away.

ok, so where do we turn off moulding dims in NKBA? I have unchecked all the options except for cabinets and fixtures and still get these pesky things.

THIS!!! works awesome thanks

hey guys and gals, a couple years ago i made a simple sign and cannot remember nor find the article on high i did it step by step. it was a business sign. it did not contain any 3d lettering. what i do remember was making a rectangle polyline sold and somehow was able to overlay the name on the sign from a bitmap or something. it came out great and added it to my business project i was working. any tips on how this is done?
