I figured out what to do. Just change that space to a deck room and delete the deck boards and joists under the flooring section on the structure panel. TMYK.

It didn't work. :/ It wanted to put a post on both sides of the stair. Little quirks like this can slow you down. ugg.

In the attached I have a stair going down from a covered grill deck, part of the stair is under the cover too. I want a flat ceiling in both spaces. When I add an invisible wall on the back edge where it intersects the corner of the deck it cause part of the deck under the bordering railing to vanish. Any idea how I can fix this condition or if there is a better way to get the flat ceiling over the stair. I can usually figure things out, but this is stumping me. Bryan Lake Addition.plan.zip

Is there a rubber gym floor material option in the catalogue somewhere? I have searched and browsed but didn't see anything. Thanks

I don't think you can. Some of these macro gurus might be able to direct you on how to create your own macro.

Roofs become easier when you understand roof theory and how to manipulate and intersect the planes. Having said that this roof is complicated, BUT absolutely doable. Just gone take time. Consider figuring out how you want things to look and then take the roof one section at a time. It's worth spending the time learning.

Thanks for the response, but I am not following. Thanks.

I recently upgraded to X17 from X16. I noticed that my style pallet for my windows that have the brick lintel and sill configured no longer work. It has reverted the style to default so I attempted to rebuild. I got it all set up again but the Style Palete will not retain either profile that I set. I changes it back to default after I save it. Anyway, having the pallete is huge time saver when doing brick homes. Would like to nail down what's going on and fix it. Thanks

Its because of your "open to below" space for the stairwell. Why it's only affecting that side is beyond me. The notch is where the sill plate is on top of the stem wall. You can clean it up by turning off the brick extension on your brick wall above. Then you will have a bit of manual wall cleanup you will need to do in the space where the notch is. If you want a brick ledge you might want to consider doing a ponywall for the basement with 8" concrete at the bottom and a brick concrete wall at the top where the brick face lines up with the brick face above. Constructionwise I don't know how that would work since I typically use 12" poured walls for my foundation. Eitherway its an idea maybe you didn't think of yet.

instead of screen try glass block material and make it really small.

Post your plan so we can have a look. its has to be some setting. I do the same as you with windows in brick and I don't see any problems like this.

I just draw them in Chief. Once you get the hang of it, it's easier than Autocad. I still use LT BTW, but only for Acad projects. if you would like more info maybe we could chat on the phone sometime.

You can always just add a sill to the door.

This is a good question. As I recall X16 did it too, but for me it looks fine until I build the foundation. Is that the case here?

Nice. That's some ninja stuff right there. I like this idea.
