15 as a beta version is available for download to all users if your subscription is up to date. I haven't really used it much, partly bc the inconvenience of that very item,one of the first things that drove me crazy.....

I think to each their own, but the manual states that it is or should at least be an option, I am not happy with that one extra click, particularly when working on complex roofs. Obviously if it's an option, you could choose to leave it off, but if it's NOT an option, the users who prefer that option on are left without it. When someone is working on complex roof shapes, it can literally be dozens or more clicks, like the project below, so I for one hope it makes an appearance on the final version of 15 (I am not a Beta Tester). Thx.

It clearly states in Help that the option to turn on this feature is in Preferences. Not having that option is a step backwards and now a multi click task.

Hi all. Is the option Automatically Place Roof Intersection Points missing in the Beta 15? I cannot seem to find it where it was previously located in the Preferences DBX. Is there another way to turn this feature ? TIA Tony T

I have attached the image that shows the deck framing stepping in to the floor framing inside the revision clouds), basically splitting the middle of the wall, and the floor framing stepping back out where the deck ends.

On the latest release, the deck framing ledger is automatically generated above the middle of the foundation walls, it does not sit against the face of the wall as it should. Is there a setting that changed? TIA.

Ah ha, that was it ! Thanks

Hi all, out of the blue, my textures are not showing up on my 3D views (X-12). No folders, paths etc were changed, altered etc. Patterns show up, but no associated textures. Has me stymied, any suggestions? TIA

Yes Solver like that. V-12 been a user since the early days, just never needed this but a contractor is asking for the Schedule in Feet and Inches. Thanks. Tony

How do I change the Window and Door Dimensions in their Schedules from Inches to Feet and Inches? Thanks all.

Hi all, Tony here. I am looking for experienced builders/designers opinions on a builders recent reframing of openings in a house renovation I designed. I am very unhappy with what I see. This is a waterfront home in Connecticut, design wind speed of 110 mph with a large open plan and lots of glass. Without influencing the replies does anyone see anything wrong with these openings and/or reframing/closure of existing openings?

I have rotated Room Labels for as long as I can remember (thats not that long) and yes I can select the Room Label and move it,but it will not rotate. This is a legacy plan that may have been reversed. I commonly rotate the labels in say a closet where the text can be wider than the room itself.

Would someone be able to tell me why I cannot rotate the room labels only on a legacy plan from 8 using X-10? Other text and symbols etc rotate properly,tia. Tony T

During Raytracing the time indication that used to show up on the bottom of the screen does not show up anymore in X, can someone tell me if there is a way to turn it on ?

I am using 9 bc of the issue of lag time for redraws but am using X to finish a project and no longer do I see an option to turn off 3d MODEL, not Rebuild Ceilings and Floors, but to turn off the long refresh/redraw time i am experiencing of the 3 D model, has that been eliminated?
