TeaTime

For what it's worth, Doug's fix worked because defining it as a specific room type forces Roof Over This Room to be checked. Our fixes were essentially the same. It's worth remembering that Roof Over This Room is not just for auto roof plane generation, it needs to be on for proper roof supporting structural walls to generate.

Are these framed walls on Floor 1 marked as Foundation in order to build footings? If so, uncheck the Foundation setting on those walls. Instead, on the Structure panel check Bearing Wall / Create Wall/Footing Below. If you don't have a Foundation floor, you'll need to build one. These footings will still generate wrong around corners But the wall/footing can be adjusted on Floor 0 independently of the walls on Floor 1.

Been bit by this one before, myself. It seems counter intuitive since you drew your roof planes manually, but you'll want to check Roof Over This Room in that room, otherwise Attic walls won't generate automatically to fill those spaces.

You just need to make a Materials List Polyline that's bigger than the "room" so that it includes the drywall. Try making a Living Area Polyline then converting that to a Materials List Polyline. *Edit: excuse me, "Standard Area Polyline"

Unfortunately those are part of the Marker and as far as I know there's no option to remove the Marker's elevation without removing the whole thing.

It sounds like you're wanting to remove the Markers but keep the dimensions between them. On the General page of the Auto Story Pole Defaults make sure "inner Dimension" is checked. Then under the Locate Elevations section, remove the check mark from the "outer" column, making them all inner dimensions. Then remake your story poles.

Right, sorry - if you set the face item to Door, then down below hit Specify next to Shelves, you can set the shelf count to 1 and swap that with the rev-a-shelf component and set it's rollout distance.

You should be replacing the whole drawer with the rev-a-shelf object. CA has an article on this https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-03142/replacing-a-cabinet-s-standard-shelves-with-rollout-shelves-or-drawers.html though they do it to a Door not a Drawer, it's the same steps though.

Much faster to select a room and just use Marquee Select, Select All.

So you drew the existing walls, set them to a "Walls, Existing" layer, then hid it? Those walls are still there. You don't want hidden walls, they're still there and affecting the model. You'll be better off drawing them with CAD or using some form of mask. Check out their resources https://www.chiefarchitect.com/search/?default_tab=all&q=as+built

Kind of. Terrain Features are what you'd use to apply different materials to terrain but they don't exactly play nicely with roads, because roads cut down into the terrain Driveway and Sidewalk tools should work fine though since they build up from the terrain. The Subtraction tool works with roads/driveways though, which makes shaping terrain features around your roads much easier.

When you hit Build New Floor, take a look at the options, there's one for floor heights and one for roofs.

Can't see how a new computer would affect that, but check the dimension defaults, Locate Manual and Locate End to End, specifically. If they're not set to locate things, they won't. I'd wonder what Dimension Default you're using, too, since they'll behave different depending on view. It'd be pretty surprising if you experienced this same thing in all views.

"Main Layer" refers to the wall layers as per the walls type definitions. Important thing to look up and learn, but while that CAN be changed in the way you described, you really don't want to. To do what you're asking, just change the General Wall Default to resize about the outside surface instead of the main layer. you'll see that when that's set to the outer surface, when you draw a wall it'll draw from that edge, the wall layers building inward (if you draw your walls clockwise). Likewise if you're working with purely interior dimensions you can set that to draw from the inside surface to make the walls build out from that edge.

No, the cursor won't visibly snap to the grid, objects drawn/placed will though. So, the same end result. Walls by default draw based on the "Main Layer Outside" (ext Framing, typically). You can change this in your Default Settings, Wall Defaults, General Wall Defaults.

Safer to say it will TRY to keep it's geometry. But I think it's a little more complicated than that though. Looking at those panels in the library, that first panel is exactly 4' wide, so you would expect it to be a single panel at 4' and a double somewhere between 4' and 8', which it does. However at 12' when you might expect 3 panels we revert back to only 2 because the default newel spacing of 96" kicks in and creates another post in the middle, which in turn shortens the length of the panels between these three posts, under the threshold where it would need more than one per rail section. Lengthen it even more and it breaks the threshold again and we get 4 panels, two between the three newels.

If I recall correctly X12 worked the same as X15 does in this regard. You need to set the Layer Set for the saved view you're in.

Doesn't matter at all. going from 0 up 75' is the same interpolation as -75' up to 0. Just be consistent and you'll be fine. Doesn't *technically* matter, it can be on floor 3 if you really want! I prefer it on 0 myself though because of the option that cuts a hole in the terrain where the structure is. I much prefer that hole to be made around my foundation than floor 1 walls. Floor 1 tends to cut more than it should and leaves gaps because of wall siding.

Okay. We're mixing up using Transform/Replicate and just manually rotating. Also I'm not sure how "About Current Point" only lights up with a Point Marker, that doesn't make sense to me. Place a "CAD Point" (not Marker) at the hinge, then in the Edit menu change your Edit Behavior to "Rotate About Current Point". That specifically affects your manual actions using object handles etc. Transform/Replicate also uses CAD Points, but that's where the "About Current Point" option comes in. Not sure why thats not working for you. Frankly I don't use Transform's Reflect often, I'd just use the normal Reflect About tool for that.

Define "didn't work", 'cause that's what its supposed to do. What did happen when you tried that?

Assuming I'm understanding the question right, but if you place a CAD Point in the center of your hinge, then select the Gate shape and in the Transform/Replicate dialog there's an option a the bottom (pretty sure it's the same in X14) to rotate about that point

"No wall" makes me think there's no hole in the roof. Or that the roof is cutting the wall or something. Need more info to even make a proper guess though. Can you post the plan?

Labels are controlled by the Layer the thing is on. With ALDO open, select a Roof Plane, you'll see the Roof Labels layer, select it, you'll see at the bottom what Text Style its using and can Define from there.

Easier solution. resize this one smaller then back again

Interesting. Slide the cabinets above the stove out, grab the wall cab to the right of the corner cab, nudge it right, nudge it left. When it reconnects the line goes away. Not sure why it's doing it in the first place though. *Edit: Oh hey once those cabinets above the stove are moved back, the line returns. Hello, culprit.
