This is probably simple but I am just missing something. How do you continue the slope of this wall when it goes beyond the last riser? See attached. TIA Lipford-PREL03.2-Export.zip

Thank you for the reply. That works well enough although it seems like it could be improved...i.e. more flexibility to slide the frame front to back in the opening with less reliance on the wall definitions. Thanks again! Mike Dolce

I am trying to create a simple hollow metal door and frame and get it to recess into a multilayered wall. See illustration....the red circled CAD line version is what I am trying to accomplish. The door is created with just a frame to the size I want with no interior or exterior trim....just like a commercial door. When I try to recess in the wall structure it pulls the door panel away from the frame. Ideally i would be able to set a 6" frame width and set at any depth within the wall thickness. (6" standard commercial frame depth although they can make up any size, x nominal 2" width. And I am just omitting the 5/8" door stop which is typical on a HM frame). An advice is greatly appreciated. TIA Mike Dolce, Architect 2403-EC.zip

And BTW I had the invisible wall along the back side because the dormers have a lower flat ceiling than the main room...not sure if there is another way to achieve that without creating a separate room?

Thank you Steve and Doug. Very helpful and much appreciated!!

Hi Doug. Thanks for looking at this and giving input. For some reason on my end I am not able to adjust the roof opening....it keeps snapping back to the inside of the wall. And I did change the other settings as you suggested. Oddly enough I got this dormer to work elsewhere on the plan??

Thanks for the help. Still having issues on front roof now....same model but it will not let me control the roof hole to allow the front dormer walls extend to the floor. See attached. TIA 221-Linwood-EC-COPY2.zip

I have having trouble getting these dormers to build correctly on this as-built plan. It looks correct on exterior, but the roof hole doesn't seem to be cooperating. Any advice is greatly appreciated. See attached pics and plan file version X15. Thanks, Mike Dolce, Architect 221-Linwood-EC-COPY.zip

Thank you Michael & Gene. Much appreciated!

I am having trouble getting this front deck framing and planking to generate properly. When I move the railings around I can sometimes get it to generate but not in the current configuration. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. TIA, Mike Dolce Chief X14 file.

Trying to change the exterior sill and casing on the Bay Window individual windows. Its created using the bay window command and I can individually select each component window but the exterior casing and sill are grayed out. Am I missing some simple dbx toggle or do I need to make a manual bay window? Please advise. PREL02.7-X13.zip

Thank you. Much appreciated!

Anyone have any fix for this issue. Getting some minor z-fighting on outside of garage wall in this X12 Model. See photo and also attached Chief Plan File. I tried the typical stuff adjusting wall finish layer intersections, updated video card driver, back clip adjustment. It may just be something I have to live with until I can update my video card, which is dated at this point. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

Would like to be able to adjust individual row heights of this electrical schedule from an X12 Plan file. It appears that it has taken the worst case size of the largest symbol and applied to all rows which expands the entire schedule height unnecessarily. Have searched around but have not seen any way to adjust individual row heights. Maybe it is not possible at this time but any help is greatly appreciated.
