Hello Charchitects, I've used some of the preset macros to make some detailed window labels for my construction plan sets. I'm noticing however that, although my input in the specification dialog for some of my windows is, for example, 25 in, the resulting label has an added 1/32". How can I adjust the smallest fraction that is being picked up by this macro? I definitely don't want things to be measured down to 1/32nd. Here are the macros I'm using: %schedule_number% - R.O. %width% X %height% %type_code% SH %bottom_elevation% - HH %header_elevation% I'm concerned about the %bottom_elevation% and %header_elevation% units. Everything otherwise seems fine.

Hi solver, sorry about that! I've switched up the view and attached it here. So what I am referring to is the structure with black fascia. At the moment, you can see a sort of cut-out where I am only drawing that roof plane to the line of wall above. However, it *should* be drawn under the top plate of the floor below, where it sort of fits under that wall above. I can't seem to represent that correctly in 3D - as you can see in the second image, if I run that roof line past the wall above it "cuts open" the wall above and doesn't display a soffit. Is there anything I can do to let the program know I am intentionally drawing this roof plane to fit under the wall above? If I draw a ceiling plane to fix this, I don't get the fascia, so it's still not correctly representing what I'm trying to do. I hope this provides some clarification.

Hello - How do I build this awning to fit under the floor system of the room above without it removing my walls and everything? I could just patch this with a polyline solid but.. I'm guessing I'm missing the setting to click for this roof to be built here without it tearing down my wall above.

I would, it wasn't me who downvoted the post.

Oh I'm sorry about that. Thanks for your explanation, I have been using this technique now and it's been working for me - you definitely answered my question.

The drywall is disappearing, showing the osb below, on the inside of a wall. This happens when I drag the wall to meet the ceiling below on the exterior, because for some reason the wall doesn't cover a small pocket above the ceiling/soffit. see pictures. I've figured out a temporary solution - polyline solid with a cutout for the window - but can anyone tell me if there's an actual solve for this. Thank you in advance!

Ok, done! Thank you.

I would like to change where the Archives folder is located - I've found the button in settings letting me see the path location but there seems to be no option to change this. My pc has a startup drive as well as a larger storage drive and I would like my files to be backed up there rather than cluttering the startup drive. Thanks in advance-

Hi Charkitects, Does anyone know if there's such a thing as global defaults in this program? For example, I would like to set defaults for cabinet materials and hardware finishes for all my projects, as I build spec. homes for a small company that has a specific style. Or the siding, for example. We're usually using the same standing seam metal on each house. How can I set CA to default to the same material for siding every time I start a new project? I'm probably missing something. Thanks!

Found it! Thanks Glenn.

Thank you so much Ryan, David, and Chris for your replies. I have updated my signature to show that I am using CA Premier X12 - Chris, I have added my comment to your petition.

Does anyone know how to change the decimal under the story pole marker lines? I've attached a picture, it's the numbers circled in orange. I would like to get rid of them completely as some of my story pole markers are close together and this takes up extra space. Thank you in advance!!
