Manually drawn, pull some grips where they shot they shot thru the roof and they popped right in.

Thanks guys, there is definitely something fishy going on because I tried to manually draw them in and nothing. I will try and load the plan file

Anytime I have came across this I remembered you have to click the walls, (railing in this case), and check full gable for CA to generate the walls. Attic walls are turned on and still nothing is showing. Am I missing something here? "Flat ceiling" is unchecked, just simple lean too's.

It's always something easy. That worked great. Change to black lines and 2 line weight.

cool, thanks a ton!

This CA's out of the box B&B. Not the James Hardie type. I do not use that material. The battens are too close together for my liking.

Guys, it seems like everything I print, over the years, is really nice and clear except for board and batten lines. How can I get these lines darker, I am sure it would make my plans even better looking. The Lap siding material prints really well so I am not sure why B&B is different.

Arched lintel and apply "course" brick pattern works great for me.

Man I tell ya, I really like the replies here on the forum. Doing the air gap of 36" between the garage slab and new floor joist system worked great!

3d solids for column bases and apply whatever material you want. I use a lot from Bueshel Stone Corp in the catalog.

Ledger boards for sure.

Nice!

I have the builder's contact info and I can picture how it will be built BUT making it work in chief is what I am stuck on. Your method may be what I need.

This is in rural Alabama, no one cares haha. No engineering stamp required and they could have drawn these on a napkin for permits.

Hey guys, I am trying to wrap my head around this going from existing to new flooring. The garage steps down 36" and has 11' ceiling. The door coming into the garage is from the kitchen. They want to add two beds and a bath to the 24X24 garage which is enough space to do so. They want the floor of the garage raised to be flush with the main home which will still leave 8' ceiling height. This will basically be a false floor, kind of like a wood framed stage in a church I am thinking. What is the best way to tackle this with floor height settings in CA while leaving the garage slab where it is. I am waiting for a measurement of the existing door as we speak. The home is 2 hours away and the owner is assisting with measurements along with the plans that were drawn in pen from the 80's.

Thanks, I will give that a try.

Hey guys, main floor is 36" above grade and garage is dropped down 36". How can I get my auto wall caps on my foundation stem walls to move down without having to do molding polylines around the garage? Just trying to use CA benefits and cut down on the manual stuff. I hate molding polylines.

a little clean up work and manually adding the attic walls seemed to work.

Yeah, it is definitely on.

Hey guys, why aren't attic walls generated when you manually build every roof plane? Could a roof plane not be joined properly in one spot and throw off CA from building them?

Curious about this as well. Even if the truss company can build to suit the trey ceiling will it be as strong? I have a request to do this in a two story home right now.

What a perfect example of a pic.

That's some good info right there. Something tells me you are an engineer.

I agree, of course around here I send my plans of to be engineer stamped but I still try to avoid sending anything that is not able to be built or too complex.

Hey guys, just looking for some opinions. Any structural engineers here in the forum that could suggest a way this would be done structurally? It's a first for me and the client wanted it and also wanted it allow light inside the home. I am very curious how the opening in the vaulted ceiling planes would work. What would what the "tunnel" going thru the attic rest on? Very curious if this is even possible.
