Add 22.5” or 14.5” wide rafters with the materials as insulation.

It’s December bro. It’s beta time.

You can user the post with footing tool and even set it as a wood post, concrete post, metal post, etc. Square round, etc. That will control itself off your terrain if you set it accordingly. For the Frost wall if you have a loaded column where you need an extra thickened footing at that point you can either break the wall and change the offset and footing size for that part or use the round pier or square pad tool under that foundation wall and set it separately from the regular wall footing.

I work with another designer who uses interiors and as long as I set it up using premier she is able to access it but she is unable to set it up to reference the other plan. This was in X12 we confirmed that and we have not revisited it in x13 as I do all of her as-builts and alot of the proposed plans for her so it is all setup in the template.

Any way to set linetype for countertops on an individual basis?
rgardner replied to Richard_Morrison's topic in General Q & A
Use the custom countertop tool select the ones that stay and use create custom countertop tool for those then select the ones that go. Then you can change the line style for the demo one. For the sink select it and use the new edit cad block tool to change the 2d symbol. that way it is still there in 3d to reference. -
Every region is a little different but the majority of what I see has the sheathing layer overlapping the rim joist. But that is generally with a cmu or pc stem wall. ICF comes from different manufacturers some of whom will actually place a nailing plate into the outer layers of the ICF for the sheathing to nail into as well. But it all depends on how you want the wall to build. Even with the sheathing in the exterior layer which I think the grand majority do have it there, you can change to which layer the platform and dimensions go to under the wall settings portion of that same dbx.

To answer your question is part of the wall goes into another room, or the floor joists span into another room. If you want to frame only that room change the framing group. As best practice and to get more help. a png or jpg picture file dragged or pasted into the forum will allow other users to see your issue without having to download something from an unknown person. Many will just keep scrolling past instead of possibly helping you.

Custom Backsplash on Soffits or Polyline Solids?
rgardner replied to J_Mack's topic in General Q & A
I am assuming you want different materials on different faces as well. IF that is the case what Glenn is saying here makes the solid a separate surface on each plane. Top, bottom, left, right, front, back, etc... -
I do think a slightly lighter line weight would be helpful. But depending on the colors a dark gray instead of black does seem to look nice. All depends on the scheme. And yes much prefer the beta over the full release for those plants... This is with the dark gray line overlay. As you can see it is a basic rendering and I don't bother to put in plants because I know what it will look like.

Also a quick button for that on the right side menu bar OOB.

Use the open item within your library to see what layer it is being assigned to and make sure that layer is turned on in your new drawing.

Can a Chief Architect drawing be turned into a CAD drawing?
rgardner replied to AC-Projects's topic in General Q & A
Can you quantify that question? Have you tried the suggestion? It exports a dwg just like any other cad program because it is a cad program. -

rgardner replied to AC-Projects's topic in General Q & A
If its something you already have in layout then send the dwg file from your layout not your plan and everything on the layout page will go to them as cad lines. -
Would have to look for the specifics but there is a company in upper wisconsin that built one of these for one builder of mine who built it out of wood and copper. It looked pretty cool from what I remember. No idea on cost. They went and templated/measured the site and designed and built the slide.
-
Correct way to model it. That is not a thick wall. Perhaps you can show with a screen grab picture of what is not working for you? or upload the plan file so someone can try to help you.
-
So yes if you want it to change in your library use the edit cad block in your library.

Looks like a bug to me. Depends on the angle (150 deg framed miterd) but this is what I got:

Also make sure that you have in that same window as Robert is showing above the Default wall Heights top and bottom selected as he shows. Looks like maybe the walls are not aligned all the way or they were manually adjusted which would cause those to become non selected.
-
Us in the broader sense. But since you say it. Yeah Robert can totally look at your plan and help you!!!
-
Can you upload a plan file and one of us may be able to take a look?
-
Just an additional point and not required, some will disagree but I almost exclusively use 2 plan files when working with detached structures. Even when it is a simple detached garage I will have a 2nd plan file and use a symbol of the garage for renderings and a polyline copied over for site plans. For me I see two benefits, 1 it allows you to use that garage plan for other jobs in the future (sometimes you can adapt one you have previously done in mere minutes and send to a layout and substantially increase your profit for the new job.). 2nd Benefit is easier to use defaults/keep the garage model closer to the xy origin.

I am actually surprised that x12 works very well on your system to be honest. Memory 8GN - 1TB Fusion Drive - Graphics Radeon Pro 555X with 2GB of GDDR5 memory This part is pretty underpowered for any 3d software. And I am using an older system myself but have not had the issue with renderings after Adjusting to the new rendering engine. Flat-out regardless of your system the new rendering engine works differently so the settings that you used for x12 will not work in x13 to the same degree you will need to adjust them.
