Thanks, still learning. I'm doing that now

In the general display properties & the room object display properties the layer set I'm working with has ceiling break lines, planes & surfaces all turned off. The only way I have been able to turn off ceilings in rendered views is with the turn ceiling on/off commands when selecting each individual room. Is there another way? OOPS. I didn't realize the layer set in the rendered view could be toggled & set on or off. Thanks, I got it now.

Hi all, I am sending my views to layout & have the room labels default setting to display finished ceiling height, but when sending a rendered overview to layout I must turn off the ceilings in each room to make everything visible. This makes my room ceiling height display as N/A. Is there a better way to work around this? Thanks. My room label settings Perspective full overview w/ ceilings turned on Perspective full overview w/ ceilings turned off Ceiling Ht now N/A

Thanks Robert, I appreciate your help.

Hi All, I created schedules as separate cad details for all my various fixture types & saved a plan view with layer set just for identifying them all on one dedicated sheet in Layout. A couple of issues have come up that I can't find a way to fix/modify. On most of the fixtures I moved the callout symbol around on the plan for clarity, but some of them have been locked in those locations & the ability to change them disable. In the pic below I have a lavatory callout that was moved temporarily to get it out of the way of others but it is now stuck where I moved it. Is there anything to get that editability back? I've tried deleting the vanity and adding a new one & but it still places the callout in the same place. Thanks. P01 is the lavatory callout that I can no longer move around.

Thank you kindly. Made it work by unchecking wall mounted & choosing mounts below wall cabinet. Don't know why I didn't see that before. Thanks again, Joe.

Hi all, I am trying to place some outlets on the ends of two walls in a remodel project, see first pic for real world location. I am unable to get them to snap to the ends of the two walls you see in the second pic, end of a 9 1/4" thick 40 1/2" H half wall & end of a 9 1/4" thick interior frame wall. Any way to do this easily? Thanks.

@mtldesigns Hi & thanks again Michael, That did the trick!

Thanks, I'll give that a try

I've tried this a few times now & each time I either have to extend it out until it's longer than it has to be or it has no effect. Is there a trick I'm missing? Thanks. Also tried switching the wall to room divider in the Wall Types tab but it always reverts back to Frame_Interior-4.

Hello, I'm trying to reproduce a flooring/room separation in an existing remodel job, as seen in 1st two images, with a room divider. Is there a way to get the room divider to attach to the corners of my two walls without doing the damage it does seen in the 2nd two images? It defaults to connecting to the midpoints of the walls & completely changes the length & shape of the half wall on the bottom end. Thanks. In the field, what I'm trying to recreate. Where I want CA to divide the room & how the room divider alters it once placed.

Hi Jason, Thanks for the reply. This is kind of what I started doing, breaking walls & modifying thickness. I'm resigned to the reality that with a project like this, until we actually start stripping away drywall we really have no idea exactly how each little section a wall is framed &/or padded. The one area we did this with already was a half wall behind a kitchen peninsula with plumbing, and it revealed a combination of metal studs of various depths some padded out, some not.

Hi Michael, Thanks for the reply. So the procedure for that would be to build the wall as the main interior or exterior type & then once the intersecting walls are placed view the wall in elevation & change thickness of each section by building a material region? That does sound a lot simpler than different wall types. Thanks, I will give that a try.

I'm preparing a remodel set of drawings for a unit in a 45 year old, multi-floor condo building where no original construction documents are available. Entire unit is being remodels so wall board, fixtures, flooring, doors & windows are being replaced. We have measured the entire unit & I'm now using those measurements to create the as built plan. The problem I'm running into right off the bat is wall thicknesses & composition & how to easily lay this beast out without having to create dozens of different wall types/thicknesses to match what is there. There are internal structural columns that bump out into several rooms, the walls they intersect are padded out to different thicknesses on one side to the other so a long straight wall with no in and out bumps & other irregularities is rare. Are there any methods for laying out & setting up dimensions to measure from outside surfaces of walls like these that will make laying this out any easier? Thanks for taking a look.
