  1. @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.
  2. @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.
  3. @GeneDavisI've not worked much with 3D mouldings. When you say you paste the 2D CAD detail in the live section and make the molding, could you break that down in a few steps? I've got the 2D CAD from view, but don't know what to do next.
  4. This is the first time I've had to do this in an ICF wall. You're right, 5.5 minutes is not too long. I just didn't know how to go about it. Thanks again!
  5. @GeneDavis that sounds like a lot of work. I'll step through that and may try to save it in my library in case this comes up again. Thanks for the input!
  6. I've mulled fixed window and an awning window in an ICF wall. The mull wants to be the depth of the wall. I've tried to change the mullion depth in the DBX but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is there a way to adjust this mull to a normal depth?
  7. @robdyck and @MarkMc thanks for the ideas. I'm going to try both!
  8. A customer wants a custom stove exhaust cover. I'm close by using a cabinet with peninsula radius. The problem is that i need a smaller radius on the corners (probably 6-12") to allow enough room for the actual exhaust fan. I can't find a way to decrease the radius. Is there another method that would be better to create this in CA?
  9. Robert, thanks for this input also. I'm seeing where the 3D molding is useful when you don't want the default CA solution.
  10. Robert, thanks for taking the time to not just give me a solution, but to explain what's going on. I fixed the upstairs. Now I'm going to re-read it so I understand, then fix the downstairs. I took a snow day yesterday. We got over 2 inches and lots of things were closed. It was also MLK day, my wife was off for the holiday. Thanks again!
  11. @DBCooper I haven't used 3d molding polylines much but I know they are useful. Thanks for the tip. It worked great!
  12. No problem. Using your suggestions, I've got it about 90% the way it needs to be. I've attached how it currently looks and an updated .pln file. Here are two more questions: 1. How do I get rid of the left wall rail on the upper portion of stairs and keep the lower left (open) railing? 2. Somehow, my room divider at the top of the stairs is messing up my 2nd floor ceiling. What am I doing wrong here? Millar2.zip
  13. I did make the break but I didn't adjust the top portion. I though your input was a different idea than @DBCooper. Now I understand that it is in addition to. I will work with this and see what I can do. Thanks...I'll let you know how it turns out.
  14. @robdyck I made the Open Below room on the 2nd floor as you suggested. I put a break in the first floor wall under the stair so I could adjust it in section view as you suggested. I can't seem to pull that portion of the wall up to meet the ceiling above. I've tried a few other things to make it work with no success. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?
  15. Thanks so much. I'm taking notes!
