Create a layer set to assign to the particular views. In this case you can copy the existing layer set you are using and turn the label layer off where you don't want it in the new layer set and then change each section view over to the new layer set.

Well it's not a perfect solution, but assign a square profile to the rafters in the roof dbx. THEN you might need to pull the hip rafter back from the edge an inch or two. I have to do that whenever I do open rafter tails..... I am not a fan of hacky solutions like this, but it is what it is. The fascia board sticking through is because the intersected roof isn't trimming the fascia board at an angle like it would be in real life. Im thinking on a solution for this.

Open window dbx. On "options" panel look for the recessed option. ALSO, make sure your casing layer is displayed in that camera view. Just click on window and look in your layer panel. I have X16 so I can't open. :/

Thanks for the info.... I have used this when editing trim... You are correct "glitchy" is putting it mildly.... For some reason I want to say I remember seeing something to turnoff trim on an edge somewhere. Must have dreamed it.

Is there a way to remove or turn off the roof trim from a selected roof edge? This would be on an edge that abuts a wall. Thanks

it would be great if someone had the HB&G line of columns.

Great thought.

I see what's going on, but it's gonna be hard to figure out without looking at the plan. Post your plan and someone will be able to help.

I would pull the porch in 12" on each side and drop the ceiling ht and the pitch..... Would kind look like the attached, but the main eave would be lower and the porch roof would pitch back on the main hip roof. Anyway, just a thought.

I like the concept for sure.... BUT as you have mentioned there is much room for improvement.

nvm... I did find it. BUT depending on your dimension defaults in elevation this could affect other things if changed. The setting under defaults.... Select your dimension default that you use on elevations, then under the Extensions panel, "Length Away From Marked Object:" is the setting it's using. If you are using these defaults on your plan like I am it will affect that too. Seems like the thing to do if you want it to come in like you want every time is to create a dimension default just for story pole dimensions then you can set it how you want. Anyway, glad we figured that out.

Not finding anything. If its there, I don't see it.

I did dig a little further.... The "Length away" amount in the Extentions/Markers panel is what governs that. There does seem to be default of 3" somewhere. Digging into where that is.

I didn't... I will tho. Seems like it would be inferred to line up with other markers and not some random setting.

Is there any way to make sure elevation markers added to the story pole dimensions line up with the ones added with the Auto Story Pole tool? Every time I add one I have to line it up with the others.... Can figure why when added they just done automatically line up with the others. Thanks

@ChiefTylerL Might know of a solution.

you aren't missing anything. It's a finicky scenario. I would see what support has to say. Post your plan. You will need to zip it up first.

Also you can add a vertical piece of wall at the end of the half wall using the diamond on that end of the wall when selected. I know that sounds like a bandaid but it does work.

Try changing the wall type back to "Room Divider".

Apparently, that's just the way the program functions. ESC cycles through recent command modes AND cancels certain things like closing dialog boxes and such. Weird how it seems that the painting command is the one it's stuck at.

Yeah... I got that... but somehow the painter tool continues to persist when I tap the esc key even though I have moved on from that tool 30 minutes ago.

All Just discovered the layer painter tool and it's really cool. However, how do I get it to turn off after I used it?..... Seems to continue defaulting to painting objects after everything I do. Thanks

This is good to know. Thanks. Thanks for the information.

Is there a way to change a door designation from interior to exterior in the door dbx? I have door exiting the home onto a porch that is going in as an interior door making it to where I can't control the casing on both sides.

I did this today and it's the best way I have found to accomplish this detail. Thanks.
