ok - I have made 2D blocks, but not 3D blocks. I know it does not let me with this angled / tapered solid in there - I'm guessing.
-
Very good. I was thinking of that, and that might actually be better and offer more options with bases and columns/posts. Thank you!
-
My second question on the same topic, how can I save my 2D "block" symbol to look like I would like? The help is not helping, and I am not finding videos on this.
-
I am working on making a craftsman style column, but I would like to control the base and the column/post separately. In the Symbol DBX there are sizing options that seem like they should offer this option, and I've tried. But as soon as I add two Z options, the whole symbol stretches. See image. It is working to keep the box cap from stretching, so that is nice, but not what I need. If I set up the top OR the bottom, it works perfectly for the top OR the bottom. Thoughts? Thank you!

Yes, that is what I find so amazing!
-
Thank you! I should have thought of that

Just for the record, I was turning the auto build rafters off

I will do it now - Thank you

This has has been a nice learning opportunity. I love that you can move roofs up or down to work on additional roofs. That is amazing to me.
-
I think I figured it out. My roof was on the attic level. The rafters seem to show on the floor below - I also found the tools to raise the roof to another level to work on
-
Because I also built my roof over the main floor, but now I want to put dormers in the second floor and I'm not real sure how to cut my roofs on other planes. I know i seen a video on moving roofs to another floor - but I cant find it back
-
Very possible! Now I need to figure out how to turn it back on - the browser is not letting me upload my plan. Maybe I need to go back to an archive. Michael, I think I need to retain your services for things like this.
-
Yes. Now I am opening the Build Roof first to make sure of my settings and it works from there. Maybe I am doing something that is causing the default to reset ???
-
And now I am finding it un-checks when I leave the plan view to a 3d view and go back. That does not seem right to me.
-
It is a plan from my template which does not have it selected. But after creating a new plan (from the template) I set the defaults to build rafters.
-
I'm not sure if this is a bug, but when I set the defaults for the roofs to auto build roof framing, it works after I set it for the following roofs I build. But when I open the plan again to work on, I need to set this default back on. ???
-
That was too easy! It didn't work right last time, but I pulled the wall back past the roof opening - that was the key

Will do. Thank you

I have watched the video of ChiefSkills by Steve Nestor, "DORMERS - Auto and Manual Types" Trying to use the idea there to cut my walls out of the living space. I think you called it "Cheek Walls". See the real picture and the angled ceiling. That is what I am trying to do. Any thoughts? SND1823 Klinke Residence.plan

Ah! I found it
-
Thank you - I did find that description. However, I have numerous exterior wall types. Is there a way to give a description to each of my wall types in my User folders? When I update the defaults, it keeps my last change only.
-
On the wall schedule there is a Description on the right - by default. Where is this value located so I can modify it for each wall type? Thank you
-
Yes, that makes perfect sense! Kind of where my mind was going to get away from the break in the casing to extend below the 0 floor - Thank you again!
-
I have a lot to go on now. I know I can pull off what I want. Thank you for all the ideas!
