  1. Sounds pretty specific what you are looking for. Since regional terminology fir these items vary greatly I would recommend your own post and put some pictures of what you are trying to accomplish in the post.
  2. Unless you have changed your shortcut it should be Cmd and works fine for me as well. Whatever the key is to override snaps/bumping when you are moving something should be the same key.
  3. You could do this precisely where the door is at with it's casing and you can even make it a pony wall to 80 or 96" high with the thicker wall above...
  4. Played with it as well. With a roof cuts wall exterior wall on 1st layer changed to not show layer and having the floor hung on that floor instead of upstairs it gets it as close as I have seen but still have about a 3"x3" angled white gap there in the corner but get's it really close. Must be something we are not seeing or a glitch for that scenario. Based on Chief's principles it will auto-build attic walls up but not down so there needs to be a small wall on either side on floor 1 to get rid of it but not sure why it is giving a little triangle gap.
  5. One of my accounts is in Wisconsin and they use a uniform dwelling code loosely based on 2012 IRC. Here is the link: https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/code/index/index/t/uniform_dwelling_code
  6. You are close but remember the railing is also a wall.
  7. Sorry if my trying to help the OP to get more help in the future made it come off as not being a good idea to attach the plan. It is always better to attach the plan. What I was trying to help them see was that a screenshot of the problem especially with newer users is almost equally helpful/necessary with some issues as many of us are not looking at the forum only when we are on the computer. There is many times that I may be in the hammock or even in the pool relaxing and will jumó on the forum to read and learn and sometimes try to help. Just from the description above as I mentioned (never as elegantly as Eric or others usually do) the culprit was because it was trying to line up the fascia of two adjoining roofs of different pitches. A picture would have quickly shown that to me or others who are on the forums on their phone or a tablet. That was my only intention was to help them see a good post has a good description, and both a screenshot picture and the plan file (especially with harder issues). Lots of good help here for the OP. Have a happy weekend everyone!
  8. There are several users including myself who use it, but unless you are Left handed usually it is used in your left hand as a supplement to your other mouse. I personally use the 3dconnexion pro wireless in the left and a Logitech g602 programmable mouse in the right. The shape of the mouse really helps in my case on the right hand.
  9. Didn’t open your plan file but generally it is because you have an intersecting roof that will not line up the way it is setup unless it is that long. Typical with porch roofs connecting into higher pitch roofs. Other common reason is that in the wall dbx roof tab you have it set differently. Just a hint about using the forum for questions like this, although very helpful to include plan files and a brief explanation of the issue a picture can also be very helpful and not make it so someone has to download a plan amd open it to see the issue. Sometimes that is necessary but many times a pic is sufficient to troubleshoot. Either way nice to have you here and welcome to the forums!
  10. Maybe I misunderstood what he is looking for but it sounds like he wants to show a 3d perspective view of the foundation. If you use the 3d framing view and turn off framing walls you are left with your foundation walls only.
  11. Try turning off Framing Walls, and keeping foundation walls on. BTW if you get used to keeping your ALDO open you can simply select that framing of the wall and see what layer it is on. Then you will know what to turn off.
  12. Just curious how you are going to waterproof that toilet flange...?
  13. Good thought but the likelihood of your upper joists lining 100% with lower is doubtful...
  14. Looks like your corner boards are there but set default to be very narrow! Probably swapped the thickness and width numbers.
  15. What I have heard it called in most areas.
  16. Not exactly clear of what the situation is. More detail and better yet a .plan file would get you more help.
  17. Might have to try that. Wasn’t thinking of creating an inset as much as a thick region on either side of the railing...
  18. Doubt those are code compliant either. Just a thought on how to model it though but how about some wall material regions/region holes???
  19. Try searching the help files for line molding or poly line molding.
  20. Or a poly line turns into a molding line? If it’s around all portions of the house you can do an automatic one and just set the molding specs.
  21. Yes probably necessary to include the plan file as Eric mentions. Best guess from the limited view on the pic is that your ceiling plane is at that height and is cutting off the attic walls that you were using to make your dormer.
  22. What no blue interior glowing light Michael? Slacker! JK great job! Love the pump station especially!
  23. Just to throw out there if you are doing solid strip wood flooring unless you cross block your joists every 30” you need to do the wood perpendicular to the joists or at a 45 degree angle. Floating floors do not matter.
  24. Use of Ceiling planes also works a little better there.
