Hi Everyone,

In my area, we almost always build a home with a basement, and more often than not, the basement is finished.  I have started creating a foundation layer set so I can turn off most of what is displayed in a finished basement, to make it easier and more legible for my foundation company.  The issue I am running into is the dimensions reference the finished walls, whether they are displayed or not.  In a Chief class I took a couple months ago, we went through the process of creating a custom set of dimensions for a new layer set, but for the life of me, I cannot remember how to do this.  Help?! 

Thanks!!

I Agree they are a mess.  I kept trying to auto-build, and chief was going nuts.  I needed a rendering at least SOMEWHAT close to show this morning, so I manually drew...and fought..

Hi All, I am working on a new project and am fighting a few roof issues....  I am lost as to why I have boxed eaves set, and all but two show up?  I must be doing something stupid... it has been a 19-20 hour day after all. lol.   Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

:facepalm.  Thank you!!

Hello, I am trying to build a custom 3'x4' recessed shelving unit in an Interior-4 wall.  I am coming up blank on even where to start....

Good morning! I need help please!! I am working on a bonus room built in attic trusses above a garage. However, I cannot get my 2x12 top cord to plane to the bearing wall below, which is causing my ceiling heights to be off. Yes, I know im not technically using trusses at the moment, but dimensionally I am trying to get it right for framing, and the truss manufacturer will provide his layout. Thanks!   FYI this is in x11

Sorry for the delay, I have been traveling and have not had cell signal or wifi....

Yes, the goal is to have the framing accurate.

Thank you both so much.  I finally got it!  I created a new wall profile called "canvas" just for this purpose :-)

Hi All,  as you see in the attached pic, I want to shrink the Board and Batten in this gable, and extend the lap siding up.  What is the proper way to do this?  

Thanks!

Got it!  Thanks!!

I don't have the Mastic library but you can apply the color material to another object and then use the eyedropper to pick it up from the Define Material DBX

hmmm I gave that a shot and it still replaces the siding

Thanks for the quick response!  

If I click on the color, it brings up a full color palette instead of the dropdown from the Mastic Library?

Hi Everyone,

I am having issues with changing the siding on a house I'm designing... I have the Mastic by Ply-Gem library downloaded and am trying to pull from that.  I open my wall dialogue, wall type definitions, and can select my siding style- in this case Quest Double 4".  But when I select the color it reverts to a smooth finish?  

Any help please?
