Thanks Everyone. Eric - I didn't realize you could convert a ceiling/roof plane into a symbol. I'll give this a try when I get to the office. Thanks again.

I've got a 12/12 tray ceiling to which I want to apply a base cap molding - see attached. I have tried using a 3D molding polyline drawn in an elevation view and rotating. Doesn't work. Could anyone tell me how you would go about doing this? Thanks, Kevin

Thanks Michael. Great fix!

I was able to get them to work. Under railing make sure to check "balusters" and under "newels/balusters" set balusters to square or whatever. I'd attached the file, but I'm using X12 and this was created in X11.

t Thanks Mick. I started with X11, so didn't even know these existed. Kevin

Thanks Alan. I appreciate you looking into this. I will let you know what CA says about this glitch.

Thanks Steve. I think you've hit on the problem. I am using X12 with the stair break tool. I will report this to Chief. Also, the stairs when drawn did not automatically open the 2nd floor platform. I had to create a well from the 2nd floor using "open below".

Thanks Alan!

Alan - thanks for looking at this. Would you mind uploading your corrected .plan file? I'm not getting the same result no matter what. That said, my file has gotten a lot more complicated as I completed the kitchen layout. Kevin

Steve - do you happen to have the file with your corrections? I am trying as you suggest and I get what's shown in the image below. The file is now too large to upload. Thanks!

Thank you Eric. Now that I know it's not user error, I will report to CA.

Thanks Steve. I think your solution is the best I can do for now. I appreciate the help. Kevin

Thanks Ryan. I did put a second floor on the building as I thought this might correct things - no luck... I think Steve's solution is the best for now.

Thanks Steve. If I remove the invisible wall, how do I differentiate the ceiling heights? The kitchen area is 9' and the great room is 10'. You are correct, there is a single header member that surround the cut-out for the stairs.

Thanks Steve. That's getting me much closer. I still have a small part missing. Any ideas? Thanks again, Kevin

Perry - thanks for the reply. When I untick "invisible", I get the attached. I'm wondering if I can do this with one large doorway with no casings or jamb. Or would this cause other issues? Renee - I did use an invisible wall. The entire downstairs has 9' ceilings with only the great room at 10'. There is no soffit in the kitchen. I couldn't tell you how the place is framed as I haven't been on the second floor yet. I was just trying to get an illustration together for the kitchen. I don't follow when you say "just delete the invisible wall and it will right itself". This was initially drawn as a room divider. Thanks for the input. Kevin

I've got a 9' ceiling next to a 10' ceiling. The wall surface where they meet won't fill in with drywall - 1st image attached. The second image is an actual photo of the space, however, from the other direction. I've used a room divider as a break between these different ceiling heights. Would someone please show me how this is done? Plan is also attached. Thanks, Kevin CHF_Fabrizio_Kitchen_02-14-20.plan

Thanks Mark. You're right - it isn't that big of a deal - just thought there'd be a feature for that. In this case I can always add the lines after exporting to layout or remove them using the edit tools. Kevin

Mark - I've got another question regarding your end panel hack. In a vector/illustration view, the joint where the rails meets the stiles is missing on the cabinet sides. The door/drawer fronts look just fine. Is there a way to have these show up? Kevin

Thanks again Mark!

I've got a single layout file with the layout boxes already positioned where I want them. I need to reference an as-built .plan file, an option A .plan file, and an option B .plan file all in the same layout. All three files are the same space with different options for the kitchen layout. I have been copying and pasting my layout boxes to each new page, so that I can get the plans to align when printed. When I open the Layout Box Specification, I have the option of switching my linked plan views, but I can't figure out how to select a completely different .plan file. Is this even possible? If not, how to I get similar plan views to align across different sheets of my layout? Thanks, Kevin.

Mark - that's great. I just sent you an email. I am starting to get the hang of it as of this morning, but would welcome the opportunity to speak live. Kevin

Mark - this is great and has opened up a world of possibilities. I am having some trouble understanding the order of things under "Custom Face" in the "Front/Sides/Back" tab. Is there a video on the subject? I don't feel the manual is giving me the big picture. Thanks again

Mark - your method got me thinking about how to apply wainscot end panels to cabinets. I think it would work well, but I can't figure out how I would go about adding a notched toe kick. Got any ideas? Also, our shop often will use the wainscot panel as the actual cabinet side. Is there a way to replace the entire cabinet side with the wainscot panel so that the functioning door is flush with this side? The second image shows an example of this flush wainscot side. Thanks again!

Yes Mark, I think you have it right. I'll explore adding the bead profile to the center panel tomorrow. Thanks for all the help! Kevin
