  1. So I did that, but it didn't adjust my roof plane to meet the same depth of my trusses. Do I have to regenerate the roof planes after adjust the framing thickness?
  2. Tried playing around with this dialogue box, but haven't had any luck. What am I specifically looking to adjust in there? I've also attached the plans if that helps. Project 2.plan.zip
  3. Having a brain fart here and can't remember how to change the depth of the ceiling? Currently my ceiling cuts about halfway through my trusses, but I need the ceiling to be lowered so it sit under the trusses. Can attach a zip file if needed. TIA for any help!
  4. When I delete my invisible wall that closes of the little entryway porch in plan view to try and get the room regenerate, I end up with this.
  5. This entry way is the current location of an as-built project I'm working on. I had to shift the exterior walls a couple inches to the left and now I'm trying to get the porch to be flush with the exterior walls but for some reason I can't get the deck boards to regenerate in the new position.
  6. I did some adjustments to my exterior walls and now I need to adjust/move over the front entry porch a couple of inches. But for some reason now I can't remove the deck boards from the porch, its like they are stuck in the location. I've attached a picture as well as the file in compressed form. Thanks for the help! project 1.plan.zip
  7. Update: For the heck of it I tried framing it with a flat ceiling over the deck and that works, so I'm not sure at this point what is going on that it won't frame with trusses when its vaulted. Any and all help would be much appreciated!
  8. Ended up redoing the entire roof, now when I try to span my trusses across they only go halfway before switch over to the other side. Updated plans attached. T.I.A Plan.plan.zip
  9. Hi, I've searched high and low and haven't been able to find anything on how to frame with scissor trusses for a balcony roof. Any leads or help would be awesome. Currently getting an error message saying " Roof and ceiling planes cannot be found or they are too close together, so cannot make truss." When I do draw a truss. T.I.A
  10. Thanks Charles. Got it figured out! I do have one more question. Just curious as to why a portion of this ceiling is lower? See attached photo. Thanks again for your help on this roof!
  11. Also wondering what is the best way to create a flat roof without parapet walls?
  12. Hi, I'm trying to recreate this flat to shed roof off the front of the house, but not quite sure how to do it. Do I need to create a roof plane on each level for the shed roof? I've attached my plan with what I have come up with but stumped on how to get the attic walls to show on levels 2 and 3. Thanks Plan.plan
  13. Do I need create a room on both levels with invisible walls?
  14. Hi, I am wondering how you get stairs on the side of a building, leading from ground level/main level to the second level, to show on the second floor plans? Is there a way to do it using the auto generate stairwell tool? I've included a couple photos for reference. Thanks!
  15. All clip setting are unchecked in the Camera DBX, so not sure what else could be causing this to happen?
  16. Curious as to why the tree on right side clips anything after my vertical dashed line? Previously it was doing it on both sides, but now just on the one side and I haven't touched any of the settings. TIA for the help all!
  17. Interesting mine only shows X15 as the newest.
  18. Is X16 out? I tried looking for it but nothing came up.
  19. Here is the file. Thanks for the help Eric! 108 Chaparral Common SE Floor Plans (Kitchen Layout A).plan.zip
  20. I'm looking for some recommendations as to what my CPU Ray Trace settings should be when do interior renderings to get the best quality, as my computer doesn't support GPU Ray Trace. Everything I've tried ends up coming out too dark or too bright. I also notice that the top of my cabinets project some light, could this be the cabinet material reflecting the light sources? I've attached photos of both my current settings and the cabinet issue. TIA for suggestions and recommendations.
  21. Okay so now my stairwell doesn't cut, would I have to do that manually now with the auto height deselected?
  22. So I've got the landing at the height I need it but anytime I turn off the landing railing and deselect auto height, and move the stairs up to the proper height, the stairs disappear. If it helps I can attached the file with some pictures of what I am trying to achieve. Thanks.
