walls not merging at corners of different thickness walls
QuickDraw59 replied to QuickDraw59's topic in General Q & A
ChArch plan file is too big to attach? 47,346 KB getting error message that attachment exceeds 14MB file size limit? photo: red arrows missing drywall where unequal thick walls connect. These walls line-up drywall-to-drywall in PLAN blue arrows drywall OK but corners where two unequal thick walls connect (appears to be same conditions with different outcomes) -
walls not merging at corners of different thickness walls

Putting the air gap in the wall made the uncased openings stop ghosting the interior material; they are solid drywall now with the baseboard continuing. Awesome, thank you! I didn't cure the junctions of dissimilar-thickness walls, though. Will have to keep pocking at it. Thank you! -
Still a newbie. Running Premier X17 on an (apparently) robust PC processing and storage. see pix and plan for example I have standard 4.5" thick walls (1/2"-3.5"-1/2") meeting thicker walls ( 1/2" - multiple 2x4s - 1/2") and I have exposed interior material showing. Also, for uncased archways, I leave a jamb but change to drywall texture, otherwise the internal material "ghosts" through. But I want the baseboard to wrap around. Suggestions, oh wise ones?

The new Material Builder feature in X17 allow more control of tiling patterns and textures. The video tutorial released a couple weeks ago on how it works was very good. "Custom Tile & Materials - New Material Builder"

Our Interior Designer would like a clean floor plan view showing the various flooring texture (line graphics) so Clients can sign-off. I have selected one of the un-used Layers and turned things on/off to declutter. How can I get flooring patterns? Is that possible in X16? I've attached a sample graphic of flooring textures that is like what I need. Thanks!

I need to create a monolithic slab w/ no stem wall
QuickDraw59 replied to binkpear's topic in General Q & A
Any resolution to this question? Have same issue. Here in So Cal, 98% of residential is monolithic slab with sill plates directly on top. Maybe a 3"-6" tall stem wall on garage slab only. How do I set my defaults to achieve this? Thanks (new user 3 months X16; 20 years 2020Design) -
Newbie setting best-practice defaults to start
QuickDraw59 replied to QuickDraw59's topic in General Q & A
Have jumped in (1st pic). Type of defaults I would like to have pre-set for our typical builds (pic 2). What I've got so far and am annoyed with LOL (pic 3). Thanks -
Hi, new user migrating from 2020Design/Design Live. Have X16. Would like to set-up a template for our Build/Design company. Located SoCal which leans towards slab foundations, stucco exteriors, red tile roofs, one and two-story, etc. Chief seems to default to mid-west east coast basements and raised foundations and attics. Would like to start off on the right foot. Advice or direct me to existing threads on this topic? Thank you, glad to be here.
