"and make sure Framing, Wall (layer) is on in the Camera View" That was what I was missing. I new it was something simple.

Thank you

Having problems displaying wall framing. It has been a while since i have been back into CA12 so I am just missing the enabling process to display framing in a new wall. I have an existing plan that I am updating and when I added a new wall I can not see see framing. I have gone back into the wall settings and enabled and disabled the retain wall framing and it still does not show the framing. I would appreciate help in reminding me the steps.

Thanks

To me, this sounds like the way to go

The simple answer is NO. 

As Ryan stated, the Cad plan file is only 2D (lines, arcs and text) and doesn't include any 3D information.  The materials list is likewise just text or maybe an excel spreadsheet.

 

Thank you. 
You guys are so helpful.

Thank you for the information. I have only designed in CA and not imported a cad file plan. What limitations would I have to modify it and be able to view changes? If I would include a materials list in the import, will I be able to see the plans in 3d?

I am looking to purchase a house plan from a company and I have the option of purchasing the material list. If I do not, will CA calculate material list on its own once I import the cad file?

I originally used HD Pro 2021 to design my plans. I upgraded to X12 to complete some more details. Once competed I canceled my subscription. I need to make some edits and I am wondering if X12 can save plans and layouts to HD Pro 2021 version that is editable?

Thanks everyone for all the info. I knew it was somewhere but just kept missing it.

I have not seen that function in X12

I have manually edited some roof framing and as I have worked on another roof plane it will not rebuild unless the rebuild roof framing is checked. But when I do it overwrites my other edits. Is there a setting that locks framing like in retain wall framing?

I am using CA X12 software.
