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.

You can change the speed in your configurations.

Just curious why you don’t just use a doorway to accomplish this?

post the plan.

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.

Search the help file for "layout box label"

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.

In your picture you are placing a manual roof plane...

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.

Glad it was helpful

If not under a wall then you would need solid framing down to a pad. Kind of like the "Post w/ Footing" tool...

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.

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.

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?

Use Wall material region to cut the brick?

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").

You so funny! yes you are correct OP situation requires two doors if they are directional as shown here.

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...
