Sorry I assumed Erick was showing this in layout as it is much easier to do it there.

Yup, just like Erick shows here you can just put a simple CAD Mask over it with a slightly transparent fill, white or whatever the background is setup as works best. You can also use the "Line Style" tab in that same dialog box and change the line to an invisible line style and you won't see the box at all only the affects on it.

Nice trick.

Key to get it lined up is cross sections and measuring how much to go up and down on each side. Glad it helped out.

It would help if you mention the area you are building. Some will not work in certain areas.

It actually builds the wall right but you need to figure out your heights using cross sections and adjust the shape of the window top. You can reframe the wall manually and it is correct. It solves the issues with the drywall not finishing right from ceiling planes to wall transitions which are always a pain with those walls.

Kind of a hog for time, but I have also used a straight wall and added in a shaped window pass through with all of the settings adjusted. no sill/frame/casing/etc.

This was going to be my suggestion and my suspicion if it isn't fixing it by rebuilding it. The ceiling plane is probably going through the start of the truss at least which would cause the truss to build to the ceiling plane. If you upload the plan file as Chop says then someone can figure it out for you.

Did you by chance just copy one of the others? If so you will need to Force truss rebuild (right top option).

Glad it helped.

I only did a quick attempt with that one wall to the right to see if that was what you were looking for, but yes if you do that on the balcony wall as well it should work. just set it to 0 off the floor so it knows that the portion to build between platforms needs to be the pony wall material and everything above the 0" level should be the upper wall.

Like this?

If you send it twice without moving the layout box and/or resizing them they should land in the same spot. Then adjust the layout box how you want it and group select both to move them???

54’ was always Max in Washington state. 46 in upper Wisconsin due to terrain.

I have used a simple polyline with background fill set to 10-20% transparency. I do them all the time with interior wall elevations where I want to showcase say a shower detail but also allow the vanity to be seen for easy reference.

86’ long truss??? Sounds like a three piece truss to me...

Have you tried using a roof beam set to that size?

Try the right mouse button. He might have a special hotkey set he forgot to mention.

Looks like a dormer with a window that is oversized/out of proportion.

If I understand what you are trying to do here it looks like a true corner cabinet without a diagonal door. Place a corner cabinet size it to the 39" you want each direction and at the bottom of the first page of the cabinet dbx you will see diagonal door (make sure that is unchecked to make it squared off like you show above.) It will show as two doors but generally these type of doors with the hinges in the corner and on one side will look like two doors close to each other. You can mess around with blanks and separations to get it sized how you want for the door.

I was looking for these a while back as well to show on a nice elevation view for a project I had. I ended up using one of the existing elevation trees and just closing the polylines myself and blocking it. You still have to unblock it so that the trunk stayed separate from the foliage but here is my little one that I made. Only took about 10-15 minutes to close it all off and trim. 2d-filled tree.calibz

I was planning to but power went out here right before so I was on my cell phone in the hammock instead of on my computer. Forced long weekend.. haha

@ChiefUserBigRob seems like a pretty good deal...

Was thinking the same as Erick. A backup might help. Depending on how you built the model if everything is set within the materials dbx instead of painted you may just be able to use the “paint-can” tool and select the plan option with the use default material selected and “paint one of the walls and everything that has that material will be set back to its default material/color. But that is only if you set everything directly instead of painting colors/materials.

Version Y1???
