  1. Yes, I did do that while waiting for a response. Probably the best and simpliest method as my plan file has become congested mutliple revisions. No doubt the wall height issue will be resolved with a new start
  2. Somehow, I have a wall that does not reach the ceilings. The design is a renovation of an existing industrial office/shed with a suspended ceiling throughout. I have created a model/symbol of the steel portal shed and placed it within the single-storey structure. This is not shown in the images below, but I mention this to indicate the plan has some hidden unusual application. The ceilings are generally set at 2700, however the room below is set at 3000, but for some reason all the walls does not reach the ceiling. This only shows in the Room Specification menu. Plan View These short walls do not show in the elevations or sections. In some areas, the fire and acoustic walls continue through the ceiling to the underside and show correctly in elevation. I have put up this problem until the program does not allow me to place wall cabinets. These short walls only appear in the room specifications. The walls are not set as capped or rail walls. The room elevation is displayed correctly. The drawing is complex and messy, so there is every chance I have created a conflict, however I cannot find it. Any suggestions?
  3. how do I make multiple copies in a radius or around a curve. I am attempting of position 60x20 batten @ 90 centres around a 3600 radius fascia. I did it successfully a few months back but have no idea what I did.
  4. Thanks Fellas. It worked
  5. I am trying to plot in 3D framing a brace @ about 45º in plan view, but also rising @ about 6º in elevation (or on the 'Z' coordinate plane). (The is in steel framing) I am using 'convert polyline' to a molding, but cannot raise the molding end height in an elevation view. (I don't normally draw structural steel in an architectural system, but hopefully, there is a method. Any ideas on how I might do this?
  6. I am creating a large curve portal beam. 27000mm radius. How to I increase the curve segments? The default has too long segments in the curve, which does not look curved. The view of the I beam should be a nice, curved bend rather than an octagonal... hexagonal etc stagger look.
  7. Can some help solve this? I want the window frame captured in the Room Elevation view. The window is positioned in the outer of the double wall system. This position is essential to the best practice for external window flashings. The window is displayed in the external elevation view but is on displayed in the internal room elevation view as shown below.. I have produced a double wall system. The wall frames are checked 'Frame through' in the Double Wall section of the Wall Specification box. as per the floor plan view. The design is an internal timber framed wall (90mm hatched) against the shed 150 steel purlins (150 grey) to create a double wall system. The window is position in the outer wall (or the grey section) which is automatically cut through the frame wall as shown below The room elevation view below is of the kitchen sink view, however the window frame is not showing because it is positioned in the outer wall. How do I get the room elevations to show the window? How do I resolve this?
  8. Amazing. So simple. Sometimes I feel like a Chief Guru then suddenly I am not!
  9. Below is a Tactile however I can't delete the centre crosshairs. The blue gridline are all the combined centre points which creates a set of grid. It is not helpful. How to get rid of the centre points? They are on the same layer as the circule.
  10. How do raise the eave soffit. As per the image below the soffit lining is hanging about 50mm below the barge.
  11. Somewhere I discovered a camera adjustment to lighten the background building elements of an elevation. This adjustment highlighted the foreground walls etc with a higher degree of boldness. I am not referring the jpeg background views, but walls and other building elements beyond a certain distance, which are lighter than the foreground in an elevation view. Can anyone tell me where I found this? Perhaps there is a video instruction is available.
  12. Can anyone recommend a good teaching video for understanding line weight and scale transfer to the layout page. I have always stayed with the preset CA standard. I think. Generally, my common line weight is 18 and my layout is scaled @ 1=1/50mm. I always get this error, but don't understand.
  13. Yes, Ok. I have done that. Thank you
