Most of the TVs and monitors are set so you can change the material for the screen to put in whatever image you want.

Don’t have your plan file so merely a guess but one issue is probably that the left side appears to be set at a 9 or10:12 pitch and the right at 6 or 7:12 pitch??? Still possible but would take some time.

@solver or @DavidJPotter are both very good with HD pro

Just wanted to mention that Apple for the first time just listed a bunch of different models of the 16 as cert refurbished including a fully loaded with 64gb ram and the 5500m with 8gb GPU. Get standard warranty as well. I had an emergency when my old 13” screen died (used an e-GPU) while on a trip with four deadlines I had to finish. I was very fortunate because of a previously purchased warranty as I bought it from my previous employer when I started in my own, (Assurant covered the unit 100% with money back.) Since I use my pro 6.1 95% of the time at home and just use the laptop for traveling (something I do less now since covid-19) and had to buy a machine locally. I was fortunate enough that BB had them on sale for $300 off but had to go with the base model which is still very capable for a laptop. Even came with a 5500m with 4gb and 16gb ram. Chief works very well on it too!

Good discussion! Personally I usually dimension to outside of both sides due to this issue. I would prefer to center but that would require the fallout to have a background fill in my OCD mind.

Haven’t tried the dock but recently upgraded to the 16 as my travel computer and it works great!

The extra line is showing two roof planes that are not joined.

Is the setting for hanging the joist of floor above selected? I believe it does it this way for the ceiling joists as well if that is selected.

Yes do a cross section to see if the top of them are penetrating the ceiling plane.

I agree with what everyone else is saying. This one would be a little more difficult to search since you don’t know the reason it is doing it. hint... look in your preferences under rooms and labels...

Welcome to the forum. You will get more bites for this if you post it in the seeking services forum. Looks like an easy enough but large building. I am sure you will have some takers. Please if you move your post or repost delete this old one to help the moderators.

Yeah that is what I was thinking too. thanks for all your time trying to help. Glad to know it wasn’t something I have been doing wrong.

Quick search on my phone but this is just one of the ones I remember seeing about this and I think it is @Renerabbitt who has another work around. I remember other cases and other tricks were out there as well. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/topic/21441-wrapping-text-on-different-computers/?tab=comments#comment-177485

I usually have a 6” pony wall and a 74” glass shower wall setup as I usually have some “full-height” glass wall and the door doesn’t always go from wall to 42” wall as in this plan. So I setup my default shower door 6” from floor and 74” high to the same specs as my standard wall. The very reason for this whole thread. But when I place the door there it subtracts the wall cap height from the door height. Regardless if I add that amount to the default door or not. The weird thing is when placed from the user library instead of the template default “location” it places correctly which is my very point with this inquest.

In your plan you have your little jogged in room set as flat ceiling which is why it is dropping down there but everything else builds a straight flat truss with a single vault surface below. Just uncheck the flat ceiling for that or if you want that flat ceiling but want to stick frame it set it as non first then place your trusses and after go back and set the ceiling after you have your trusses how you want it with a manual ceiling plane and frame the ceiling individually by that room. is that what you are after? btw I couldn’t get it to build at a true 108” either... seems like that wall wants to add the floor finish level. But it was interesting when I clicked floor above is hung on wall for that wall...

I don’t recall the trick but it has something to do with the screen size. I would recommend searching the forum as it has been discussed many times.

Are you saying to do a double vault? If that is the case then yes you would need to manually set ceiling planes.

Yeah I was able to place it too but have all along. I guess what I am looking for is it to be able to be placed into a wall and not have to go back and resize it just like it is designed to be done. But the more and more I see it seems to be a glitch since it takes the wall cap out of both the bottom wall height as well as the door height. I guess unless someone else has something I will submit it to technical support and just keep using my door in my user catalog.

Thanks Mick for the try. It looks like you had to manually adjust the door just like I have been doing. You have a 6" high tile 2 sided wall there and when you place the door into it it actually has a -3/4" height. Messing with what you did I was able to get it right but I had to 1.) set that curb wall to 80" single type railing wall (not pony wall), then place the door which gave me the right height. then 2.) change that wall to a 6" high railing wall. However the door that remained was not at the right point until I changed it to a two way swinging which placed the hinges in the middle. (Which does make sense.) The problem is that you have to do that work around from placing it as a 80" railing then place the door then back to 6". It makes me think it is acting more and more like a bug??? The whole reason I am trying to get this to work as a template is because I always manually adjusted it in every shower before. Only way to make it work without having to set everything on the door manually is if I use the one that I saved to my library. Again not a big deal but seems like it might be something that could trip up others. I know that one client I work with does lots of showers and she always was fighting with this and until I started working with her she couldn't figure out how to adjust it to show it properly. Seems like maybe A.) I am doing something wrong or B.) there is a bug in this setting as it seems to take the wall cap thickness off of both sections of walls not just 1 section. Also there may be times when you don't want that door to go from solid wall to half wall. You might want the front to be all glass with the door set in the side of it and then transition to a 42" pony wall near the corner... If that is the case you have to place everything then go back in and manually set all of those settings instead of the default door placing properly.

Well I spoke too soon. Thinking about it that wouldn't work because it wouldn't be able to have the shower door added to it. I went back and tried just in case but yes it just puts a 6" high shower door into the curb. The door continues to come in exactly the 1.25" short or thickness of the wall cap. I tried adjusting it to be 1.25" longer and it still cuts it off that length every time. it isn't putting it at the 4.75" height below the cap either it starts it where it should and ends it every time at 72.75" tall or 78.75" overall. As Rene mentioned the only way to get it to work correctly is if I add the shower door as a symbol (even with the default settings I have) to my user library and place it from there. Which is what I am going to do for now. But it seems like a glitch to me unless someone can figure out why it is happening as it very well could be something I am overlooking. Thoughts?

Thanks for the offer Rene, I know how to make it right. I was trying to get it right so when I do it for my template it is right. I See Mick figures out which step I was missing. Just a 6” rail instead of a pony wall.

That makes sense!!! Thanks Mick

Thanks for the idea but I checked that originally and do not have headers turned on.

Hope all are staying safe and sane out there. Have a small issue I need help working through. Really not a huge deal but... This is always something that I did manually before but watching @Renerabbitt's great tutorial on showers the other day I picked up a couple of pointers and decided to fix my template with a shower room. I have always just adjusted the shower door, curb wall, 1/2 wall etc to the settings so everything worked correctly but thought hey, why don't I get it set up right in my template... Anyways not sure what I am doing wrong here but here is my issue: 1.) Set Glass Pony Wall Defaults (pretty much out of box but changed to 42" & 38" elevation heights for even numbers as inside and outside floor finishes are different in shower rooms 2.) Set Interior Glass shower door Defaults to 74" Height 6" off of ground top height 80" 3.) Place Walls & Door to check it, cut 1/2 wall where I want the door and change to 6" high & 74" high instead for curb height. End resultssample template plan.plan: It seems to correct the interior door by 1 1/4" (Thickness of my wall cap). Am I doing something wrong? I just changed my door setting to 74" height to get it to flush correctly but even adding it to the door height in my defaults and it cuts it off the same height. Thoughts? What am I missing here? Any help would be very much appreciated! Bonus points for anyone who can help me with adding in a macro into the roof plane label @ template level. I always just group select the roof planes at the end and add my macro for the label but am thinking maybe there is a way to do that at the template level? Thanks for any and all help!

Flood plane area?
