    Automatic Roof Fill Pattern

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    Where are you trying to show the roof materials?  If you are talking about a camera view, then it should show up automatically in any view that will show patterns, including elevations.  If you are talking about plan views, then no, there is no automatic way to show the material as a fill in a plan view.  You can set your own fill style though and the easiest way to do this is use the "edit all roof planes" tool.  Doing this turns off auto rebuild though.

    Yes for plan views is what is asking about...to prevent turning off auto roof this would become a suggestion then. I'm not sure why this isn't setup in the defaults.

    How do you automatically get the roof material fill to show up without going in after the roof is built to show the fill style pattern designated by the material chosen? If that's not an option or you need to do it manually, why is that not an option in the defaults and a separate layer?

     

    Am I missing something??? 

    Horizontal Plan Cross Section

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    Working on a cabinet drawing and I have tried to use the Cross Section Slider without any luck. This seems to be picky on how you can actually use it and how it will show up on the drawing/elevation. How do you do the horizontal section cuts (1 / 1-2.1) and 2 / 1-2.1) and get the cross section callouts on the elevation pages? The attached pictures are examples.

     

     

    TIA,

    X14 Auto Roof Rebuild Issue

    Why is that?

     

     

    Something must have changed.

    The roof planes were so large it would not load in Perspective Full.

     

    I started double checking my walls and I only moved 1 wall that was not lined up with the exterior wall and that fixed it. Why would an interior wall the wasn't lined up effect the roof in such a way???

    X14 Auto Roof Rebuild Issue

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    So I built this roof with Auto Roofs then made some minor tweaks to the plans, deleted the roof planes saved, went to rebuild with Auto Roofs and it is all jacked up. Nothing I changed would cause this, any ideas? 

     

    PS: I would show you the 3D but I think it may take all night to load it...
