Just noticed your wall definition is very messed up as well. The air gap should be in the interior layer and everything on exterior of framing should be in your exterior layers. Just the framing layer in main layer.

Frame your walls.

Are you looking for renderings if it? If not setting the framing layer to detail as insulation and set your cavities as insulation r value appropriate to the rigid foam amount. In the materials list it will send square footage of insulation.

1.) You haven't built a foundation level yet so no way to show the framing for the level 1 deck 2.) You have auto framing turned off for that deck. 3.) How do you propose to drive a car across the deck to access your garage?

Just use vector view and send as plot lines which is highly recommended for con docs. As long as your texture doesn’t have a pattern associated then you won’t see anything except the outlines.

FWIW I have found matterport to be a lot more accurate than canvas.

Even though it will not help you with the model creation itself it will be able to be imported as a symbol where you can size it based off of a known dimension and have a full 3d symbol. You can use the slider to cut from the top and get a floor plan you can trace over. You can also use the matterport online model to take measurements to help with your window/door sizes/placements, heights, etc.

Curved cabinets in conjunction with room molding poly lines. But it does take quite a bit of fussing.

The blank line type is also an option.

I do it auto and then manually adjust the header size as its just to change the depth and the framing around it.

You will get a significant larger pool of candidates if you consider remote designers (that is very common these days as probably 80-90% of designers work remotely these days).

Any reason not to use the actual solar panel symbols in the bonus catalog instead?

You got a different drafter that did the conversion for your .plan file. Their template does not have that wall type in their template. My experience is their templates are horrible and from X12 at best so IMHO best practice is to Edit all area and copy and paste the model into your own template.

Open roof dbx > select shadow trim panel > select help button at bottom of dbx and read the description.

Place the windows on floor 1 and change the elevations then place them. Set wall to balloon frame and you are good to go. No need to go to 2nd floor.

Try putting this in the offering services and/or chat forums.

This is highly debatable and most of the true pro concrete guys will tell you not to score an interior slab if monopoured with the footings as it is unnecessary and can even weaken the overall foundation slab.

Looks to me like you have an invisible wall continuing on from that corner.

Remember your mud sill is considered part of foundation walls if you have them set as foundation walls. If that window is in that 1 1/2” mud sill area it will show as cut wall. What happens if you make the window six inches shorter (higher). Another option if this is the case is add another layer before for your “foundation” with a 4” high height and setting the supply room above floor. Then not setting these walls as foundation on your new level 1.

Sounds like a request for trouble from the electrician trying to figure out where that supposed 3 way or 4 way switch is going…

No issue with the material regions. And using solids is a nightmare as you have to manually adjust all of them where as a material region will auto cut around festerations and doors. It is a glitch that should be reported but as mentioned if you move it to the second level it goes away. Please report the issue to chief so they can fix the bug.

Just to add you can use macros in those custom fields to report info directly as well. Sounds like you would really benefit from using @Renerabbitt's template plan He has a pretty comprehensive schedule system with lots of information that would be automatic for what you need here.

It will come over as a polyline you can then convert to a terrain perimeter.

Will need a little cleanup in the cad detailing of your cross sections but if you use a "partition wall" for your ledge and offset your footings you can get this to build correctly. Setup the exterior wall to hang floor platform from it.

Depending on the level of rendering you need, the wire mesh texture in the core library may work for you.
