  1. Just curious why you don’t just use a doorway to accomplish this?
  2. Yeah, same concept and would allow the OP to learn more about "Why" those labels are showing up and how powerful they can be for construction documents. You are correct in this particular case they are probably dragging them directly into the layout and it would be a picture or pdf label.
  3. Search the help file for "layout box label"
  4. Is this what you are trying to do? Auto roofs. Set room to 48" height to show it clearly. Will create a separate roof plane if you have the room height as the same.
  5. In your picture you are placing a manual roof plane...
  6. Do you mean you are trying to use the auto roof feature of the wall setting but use manual roof planes? Change your roof plane settings.
  7. Post with footing tool
  8. If not under a wall then you would need solid framing down to a pad. Kind of like the "Post w/ Footing" tool...
  9. So this is definitely a very common issues for many years and is always a couple of items. (Really could have searched for this). 1.) You need to have a roof on the model 2.) You have something that is poking through a wall or roof and is picking up the light from the exterior. Try turning off sun and see if it goes away. 3.) Material Issues. Looking how your lights are also showing light around the outside leads me to believe it is #1.
  10. Open the rooms and walls set to retain framing before they are framed. In the components tab of room dbx remove everything that you don’t want to report. Manually frame instead of autoframe what you want wall by wall. It’s a process but can be pretty accurate if your model is accurate.
  11. That appears to be a unique situation can you upload your plan or a sample of this scenario in your template so we can take a closer look?
  12. Use Wall material region to cut the brick?
  13. I believe that one of the programmers mentioned that the cabinet dbx will take down to 1/32" but will only report to 1/16" (iow it will round the number but the cabinet itself will be accurate to 1/32").
  14. You so funny! yes you are correct OP situation requires two doors if they are directional as shown here.
  15. Hypothetically (don't have the time to test this at the moment) couldn't we skip all of these steps and just use the "reflect geometry" selection in the 3d tab of the new symbol? Seems like it would do everything you wanted automatically...
  16. Looks correct to me. Since your floor in the structure is going to plane out and not drop down 1ft at the porch just as in real life you would have two framing members in that space one for the floor structure above which would have to be at the same level as the rest and then a ceiling joist for the porch ceiling. Place a flat ceiling plane at the porch at the height you want it.
  17. Just keep in mind if there is not room for the track then there is not room for the door to slide open on the track…
  18. Any chance you placed some windows in 3d view and you have a window that is in the exact same space as another but maybe on the attic or basement level in specifcations?
  19. This answer completely depends on the version you are using. Please add your signature so we can tell.
  20. Yes exactly. Break the 4” block wall at the corner and set that part as a railing to the height you want.
