It's an X17.pln. I built the wall with the wall specification DBX.

This has probably been asked numerous times but I can't find a solution in the discussions. I have a wall created to use rock part wat up a wall behind a wood stove. When I try to join the walls, I can't get the trim to butt to the rock (on the right) or get the baseboard off (on the left). The "edit wall layer intersections" don't have the tools to do this (that I can see). I know this is minor, but is there an easy way to correct this? The .PLN file is attached as a .ZIP file. Any input is appreciated - even a reference to a discussion on the solution. Morgan2zip.zip

@JKEdmo I toggled the "roof over this room" a couple of times and the ceiling planes appeared. I'm not sure how that works. @DBCooper thanks for the input. That fixed the soffit (beam) issue. I'm back in business on this project thanks to you two!

@JKEdmo I need to update my title block. I'm using X16. I'll take a look at the video and see if there's something I'm missing. Thanks.

@JKEdmo thanks for taking a look at this. I toggled "Roof Over This Room" off and still don't see the ceiling planes. I've checked to make sure they are supposed to be displayed and they should be....hummm. I wonder why I'm not seeing them? Can you get the "beam" to go flush with the ceiling plane?

I've spent about 3 hours trying to figure out why ceiling planes (to make a cathedral ceiling in this living room) won't display. I had some beams (soffits) in there and I've left one. But I can't get the "beams" placed under the ceiling plane (which won't display). It seems there is something at 11'-11" that prevents them from going to the ceiling - but I can't see that either. I've never had trouble with ceiling planes before but this has got me stumped. I've attached the plan file. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Klimuk.zip

@CharlesVolz thanks for the input. I had used the Reset To Defaults tool but maybe that doesn't catch the attic walls? I also cleaned up that attic wall to make it one continuous wall (see attached). But I noticed in yours that you can only bring the roof down to the outside brick line. If you try to pull it all the way down, CA pulls the roof line back from the roof all the way up. Anyway, thanks for the solution. I'll know what to do if this happens again.

I've got another problem with a plan I'm working on. Per the attachment, I can't get the roof to pull up against an exterior wall. I put a break on both planes and can pull the top part in but not the very bottom. I see what looks like a ceiling plane on the back side and I think this may be the problem but I can't figure out how to fix it. I've attached the .pln file if anyone can give me some input.

How to extend shadow boards beyond exterior wall or adjoining roof?
DRyeHD replied to DRyeHD's topic in General Q & A
Well I fixed the adjoining roof. I didn't have the main roof plane pulled all the way to the attic wall under the shed roof. I still need input on the shadow board on the main gable. TIA! -
Two Rooms Not Showing Floor and Wonky Exterior Room Line
DRyeHD replied to DRyeHD's topic in General Q & A
@Alaskan_Sonand @TeaTime thanks for the input. My customer wanted an elaborate porch then decided to go with what you saw. I guess that caused the dining room problem. As for the garage, I'll take a look at that. After five years of using CA I still have problems with foundations. I need to get my head wrapped around what all the DBX inputs do. Thank you both. -
I'm not sure what I did but I've got a couple of rooms without floors. One is defined (garage), the other is not (dining). I noticed that the exterior room line has some overlaps that I don't think should be there. I've attached the file. If anyone can take a look and let me know what I did wrong, I'd sure appreciate it.

@para-CADI just watched this video. Lots of good information. Thanks for posting. I'm trying to determine the best way to incorporate a 2nd monitor.

@GeneDavisI got it using a 3D moulding. I like this because I can save it as one of my custom windows and reuse it as a unit. I still don't understand about pasting the 2D CAD detail in the live section. I just did a 3D moulding on one side, adjusted it so it looked right and drug it around the other two edges. It looks good and will work for other plans. Thanks.

@ValleyGuythanks for the advice. I stepped right through this and it works great. I still want to learn @GeneDavis' method. I need more practice with 3D moldings anyway.
