Check if room labels layer is on.

You have 3 different sets of schedules in your CAD details. Eliminate the two unnecessary ones and it will only show one label. The lines you cannot click on appear to be the lines showing default ceiling height.

I believe the only way that would happen is if you used the same camera and sent to layout as current screen. If you want to use only one camera, then I would suggest send to layout as an image.

You could just put them on their own layer and lock the layer.

Go into the room dbx for bedroom 2 and check default for your floor structure. It was unchecked.

Try an puck above cabinet light and set height using absolute height.

Once you set your stringers where you want you can change the original to invisible line type or just turn off the layer in plan view. In elevation, try making it opening no material.

I normally draw a p-line over the stringer in elevation and convert to p-solid with 1 1/2" thickness; then place where I need them.

I think you would be better off to create a custom panel for railing with the lattice and canvas and use that with post to beam on railing specified.

I did what Joe said create wall material region with opening no material to cut wall. I then used a cabinet with no doors etc.. also added floor material region in wall cavity.

Mike have you got "ignore casing for opening" checked? Subscribe to his You tube channel and you can watch videos at your convenience.

To show stairs you would need to cut through stairs with cross section line and make sure layers for stairs is on. You can also break a cross section line and cut through or avoid things with it. If you want to show less behind view set a back clip distance. Once you get section how you want it use auto detail.

Just a guess without seeing the plan. Maybe you put a break in the wall? Maybe different wall type? Post the plan and you will get an answer quicker.

Dkmtek, I assume the space on right of plan is garage space? If garage will be on main floor(level 1) then you would designate it on that level. For setting heights of TOF use the default foundation DBX. If you have garage as part of basement then just adjusting the floor levels etc... will work.

David, it looks like the whole street is up for sale. They announce something being built that would encourage all the selling? Perhaps one owner...look like the would be absentee landlord holding. For the price of the 20% down you could have a real nice house here in town.

Architext and Archititle is what I use. The zero doesn't have slash through it. If you want them for chief here ya go. ARCHITXT.TTF ARCHTITL.TTF

If you open your schedule dbx, in general, you will see where you can add 2D symbol, 3D elevation or 3D perspective.

Just a little slow here. Now I see what you were getting at(I think) Joist direction line works but shows floor framing in label not the ceiling material. Weird that it controls one and labels the other.

It automatically draws framing in at the shortest span if that makes sense. This would be the way most would frame this however there could be a dbx perhaps like on decks where we could set direction.

Exactly Perry. I corrected in post right after.

Yep, ceiling finish is best approach...add air space if any plus fir framing and done. Like i said in above ceiling plane leaves too much manual fix up. The ceiling structure DBX only comes into play on your upper most ceiling structure.

I should correct the above slightly. as long as you have ceiling plane only to drywall finish it won't affect framing of adjoining walls. However you would have more manual touch-up to place dropped joist where they need to be, If ceiling would be framed before drywall.

I like to do it the way Scott does it. This way frames properly and doesn't alter any walls it attaches to. With a ceiling plane your wall plates on adjoining walls will drop to accommodate ceiling. Ceiling plane you do not get framing for ridge and sub fascia so only what would be dropped joists frames. Ceiling finish gives you framing all around, albeit doubled.

You could set your layout box to live view and update always. You could always revert back to plot lines once you have what you want. Live view uses more computer resources.
