  1. Great to see these responses. I did not upload my plan. However, looks like Chopsaw advise on Distance Rounding was my fix. MarkMc has good advice too. Making note doors are equal wouldn't hurt. Caveat to my issue- All cabinets built out to equal door sizes- excepting two cabinet I had cut and pasted from another plan. All plans X14 version. Had a devil of a time trying to try all options/changes and Help as all other cabinets looked fine and equal Faces dimensions on doors with default Grid Rounding checked. Then gave up and searched here trying different search phrases. Note that changing "Edit Active View" Dimensions back to recommended Grid Rounding after I Manual Dimensioned these two cabinets on Elevation view will revert to unequal doors on these two cabinets again. I will upload plan for advice if other elevation views errors show up with Grid option off.
  2. OK That a good reference site CA advertises in. I'll check there too. This issue has significance to me as I have learned at great expense about HVAC venting and technical issues for my air conditioning systems. 5 ton system had to be replaced due to insufficient are return size and moisture issues. Only 4 years old.
  3. Fair question. I guess both. I'm not an engineer, but accuracy is important.
  4. This subject applies to plan design examples applying Code for kitchen remodel. Seems like gas appliances and ventilation are in the news a lot lately. I understand IRC requires a dedicated makeup-air system for range hoods that are larger than 400 cfm I am installing new Thermador 36" gas cooktop vented upwards and room is on a slab foundation. Minimum 400 cfm for vent hood fan. Best approach I can think of is use CA's HVAC and MEP catalogues to create Layout with the following: -ceiling register, spiral ducting, motorized damper and exterior wall vent cover in soffit for make-up air intake. To hot and humid here for roof intake, I think. I found this example at Fine Homebuilding / article by M. Holiday- How to Provide Makeup Air for Range Hoods, DECEMBER 2012/JANUARY 2013. Flex duct is illegal now. If I have missed this type example/detail for this specific subject on the Forums or in sample plans on CA web kindly reply.
  5. Is there a specific procedure I need to employ to make these basket pullouts show closed in camera view? They look good in floorplan view but are not shown installed in a perspective camera view. They will close up if drawer front is employed, but this is not correct for the item design. I had issues loading plan file. So Pics attached.Basket Fit Issues.plan
  6. I think I will have to address solver's question to get dormer side wall divided to remove exterior siding inside attic. Thanks for pointing out Help under Wall Specification dialog. Never thought to use that before. OK. So I did the following: -Turned on wall framing. -Checked "Lower Wall Type if Split by Butting Roof". -Checked "Knee wall" under roof option. -Applied new wall type/interior- 4 with no exterior layer for attic. And now I see framing on knee wall inside attic. Inside looks good as designed.
  7. I cannot remove attic or knee wall material on the exterior side (inside the attic space) to gain realistic view. I can change exterior wall side material and even delete Exterior Layer material in Wall Specification/Wall Type as shown in pics below. Is there an update to this issue in X13 or another thread relating to this issue I missed? Progress in plan: Add Structure and Details - Build roof planes- completed I believe Build the framing comes next. Am I expecting the ability to see studs making up attic wall or knee wall exterior side too soon in the design process? Views and of room attic wall attached below.

  8. Done. Thanks. I'll try to remember that.
  9. For whatever it is worth, I am seeing the same issue and I am not a heavy user. I thought it was my fat fingers. X13 updated with latest version.
  10. I had same problem. Plan is in X13. *Alaskan_Son advice in this thread got me thinking (dangerous) and seems he was spot on. I saw advice in other threads to just use custom countertops to prevent similar issues. I did and problem was solved for lines. It also solved non-matching countertop materials when applying my choice of Calacatta Blanco from Library. *But I also saw I had placed two base fillers on top of each other in Kitchen & Bath Plan View when I rounded off custom countertop front overhang as it abutted a full height cabinet. See Snip & Sketch pics below; first one shows hidden base filler poking out after custom countertop edge profile rounded off. Second pic is Perspective Floor Overview camera after fixes.
  11. Thanks Dermot & KBird1. Confirmed that tab does not work when selected. I see cabinet selection allows changes to dishwasher. I'll look again at X13 User Manual unless you can reference this caveat in it for me as I may forget later.
  12. For my posted Plan: SNestor fixed my roof. Alaskan_Son provided fix for cheek wall. Solver's and others advice and suggestions applied to Plans. I'll remember to save Plan View to make it easier for members to assist when posting Plans. I was waiting to build framing until some of these major issues fixed. Keep me straight. All advice given is greatly appreciated.
  13. Thanks Gene and Mick. Yes. I was waiting to build framing until roof and some other issues debugged which other members assisted and roof is on right now I think. Maybe it is safe to do it now. I need to look into that template issue and Saved Plan views because this is a plan carried over from X11.
