TeaTime

Oh, you mean for this post to be a request for other ChiefTalk users to post their wall types?

We'll need to see the plan file to really know what's happening, but my guess is there's a wall building it's outer layers up outside of that wall. Maybe there's a wall on the floor below that's a few inches out of alignment with this wall, maybe you've created some sort of furred wall mishap, it's hard to say without really seeing it. Check for walls on other floors, see what it looks like on the exterior, etc. If you still can't find it, post the plan.

Have you checked out the File> Import / Export options? There's Wall Type Definitions options in there. Also, Walls can be added into your User Catalog and exported to be shared.

Where are you using it? If it's in the Roof Plane's label panel, just uncheck Default Formatting

Oh yeah, that too. But in the future, don't use Slabs to draw that type of thing

Try creating it as a 3D Solid instead of a slab. The Slab tool is for like, a building slab. Just a flat slab with a specified thickness. 3D Solids can be anything. Also you can just create that shape in an Elevation view using 3D Solids so you won't have to rotate it.

It's been a bit since I've touched X15 but I want to say being able to add CAD Polylines to Schedules was introduced then. But you should be able to create Room Polylines or Standard Area Polylines based on the rooms, then set those to be included in a schedule. I'm not seeing a specific video on the topic but there was a webinar they have recorded : https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/10286/schedules.html I scrubbed through it and found a bit about polyline schedules for terrain at around the 1h 29m mark.

Don't. That turns off the Structure Panel's Default Wall Top Height setting. Make sure that's checked on all walls. I assume it's creating a gap where you're only getting a half-gable there, that's somewhat common. Just grab the right side of the wall and yank it over. If that's not working for some reason, post the plan file so we can look at it.

Also make sure that Default Wall Top is checked. All you should need to do is lengthen the wall to fill that space, don't try to shape it yourself.

The porch is made up of a collection of room dividers and Invisible Attic Walls. Ditch the Room Dividers and adjust the attic walls to just be invisible walls.

1. get those elevation lines outta that wall!! you need to treat retaining walls the same as other elevation lines, they should never cross or touch. 2. open the Terrain Spec, you'll see your terrain smoothing is set to Linear. retaining walls don't work with Linear smoothing. Set it to Low and they'll work but you'll get a message asking if you want to use Linear because you have "too many" elevation points. (This is why you're using Linear, it asked, you said yes.) 3. remove some of the elevation lines to reduce the number of points. That will let it stay on Low smoothing, and it wont take so long. Might even decrease the plan file size. ^ that wall in the revision cloud is not (and can't be) a Retaining Wall, put a Terrain Break in that wall to get the terrain to behave there. I deleted about half those lines and trimmed it down to just the data within the perimeter, it builds quickly with Low smoothing, contours look about the same but with half the data: vs

The question is why aren't the others building down like that? They all ought to be assuming you have a typical framed floor. That's where your joists will be. Zooming in on your screenshot it looks like all your wall layers are all sitting on top of the OSB. Open up the Definition of those brick walls and make sure all the wall layers are where they ought to be. Everything that should build down to cover your joists should be in the Exterior Layers group. I suspect they're all on the Main Layer.

Naw I rarely have ever needed to make a copy of my layouts. you can, of course. It just doesn't come up all that often. slight correction, once you send a view to a Layout the layout then gets saved with the plan's name in the same spot as the plan. So if you start with RingosPlan.plan and then just hit Send to Layout without opening a layout first, you'll get a RingosPlan.layout.

Exactly. Just remember to Save the current changes THEN do a Save As. Can't stress that enough. Never Save As without normal Save first. ex: Day 1: Create RingosPlan.plan, send views to RingosLayout.layout Save/Save As: RingosPlan 12-1-24.plan Day 2: Open RingosPlan.plan, send views to RingosLayout.layout Save/Save As: RingosPlan 12-2-24.plan Day 3: Open RingosPlan.plan, send views to RingosLayout.layout etc etc etc

Sure enough. Scooting that elevation line on the right over a little bit and adding a Terrain Break between those lines will create a break in the terrain where you can add a wall or boulders or whatever. Or using a Terrain Retaining Wall instead, you'll get this
