I'm a little curious how y'all detail / what sorta window sched info is on something like this. Anyone care to share?

I quickly made this using the roofs / curved roof option in the DBX. You'll have to find tune it etc, but i just set the main floor walls to 12' and the roof to 24/12 and turned on the curved roof tool. She's quick n' dirty but with some tinkering im sure you could get it to work for you.

10 points to Gryffindor for the explanations. Seems to be lots of new dbx tricks with this new feature. thanks.

not all hero's wear capes. some provide libraries. big thanks for this.

Goodness I wish. For something like that where I'm at, the city would want a full tall wall framing plan and section of the front area along with the submitted truss plans etc. I mean, its not the worst thing, but oh well. Still cool to see the "quick n' dirty" solution, sometimes thats all you need.

@Renerabbittdoes that do the correct framing though? Wouldn't the "thick wall" just be really odd framing? A quick roof & ceiling plane will actually build everything out would it not? depending on defaults etc.

The example in the photo looks like it uses some sort of parallel chord truss system over the patio area, just however deep you need it to be, order the truss' that size and finish appropriately. Shouldn't need to be insulated at all either, do make sure its vented though if your using a T&G finish. As long as you have sufficient separation and sheathing @ the wall to isolate the area, make sure you detail that in there to avoid temperature difference issues etc down the road. In the program. @CharlesVolz had it bang on. Create some ceiling planes over that patio and set the height, framing should fill in with Truss / defaults / etc.

it was exactly this! Thank you.

Hey there folks just wondering if anyone else is running into this issue where with beams in X18. When i paste the floorplan into an clean CA template file it works fine... Any ideas what settings to check? It is doing this in pretty much every room type right now, inside or outside.

wait what... gotta try this out today. edit. this seems super handy after playing with it for a bit. neat little QOL improvement.

I would absolutely be interested in something like this for sure. Here in MB its mostly the foundations / connections / efficiency info. I've spent a decent chunk of time on tuning the material lists etc, it would be cool to see how other people are optimizing that for sure. Window and site plan tools would also be great. If you ever need someone to bounce ideas off etc shoot me a message.

beautiful and clean to read, very nice. PM sent

This?

yeah... TOTALLY a reasonable request... I'lL hAvE wHat He'S hAviNg

After the long rant I also totally forgetting to mention prompts... Imagine the possibilities and accuracy if there was something referencing the direct model & material information as a prompt in itself. (check out the enscape chaos engines) A DBX like the PBR one for controlling ai effects, what it touches, what it doesnt etc. Save a rendered background as a default setting etc..
