  1. looks like they have to be unblocked and blocked again, I notice that a lot of text doesn't have auto height and auto width check under options so that could be what the problem is when I exported them, try to unblock and select the txt go to options size and select auto height and suto width and see what happens

  2. Sherry I do understand wanting it to be live which would be great this is why I draw my pitch block the way I do all of the angles are to the pitch of the roof so it doesn't take much to see that the block and roof pitch are different, then I just select the roof of go to my roof layout plan which has the pitch label on as per Scott and select the new pitch block and paste it to the plan, yes it would be nice to have it live

  3. I know,  but it is not live and there is the potential for error...  if live no error.  My goal is to do no CAD work and no TEXT blocks if I can help it.

    I agree about errors I will do this on a couple plans and see the feed back I get

  4. I have made one left and one right for every pitch or when I did a new pitch I would draw the cad line I wanted put in my text and block it save it to a new lib call roof pitches then when ever I need that particular one just open lib select and paste doesn't take to long to make them of make them on the fly block them and add to the your lib under pitches

  5. Donna I use walls with stone on them usually 2X4 then put a fireplace behind there and place a doorway to see the fireplace at that point I raise the fireplace and doorway to where I want if it has a raised hearth, I make my hearth and mantle using the slab tool hearth with stone on it, if I want to do a bumpout I use exterior walls and where I want the stone on the inside I break the walls to where I want to stone the stone inside and change that wall to a stone wall, if you don't want it to go to the ceiling then use a pony wall with the different types

  6. maybe put a large shadow markings across the file stating preliminary plans not for construction, where I live they have to have final plans to submit for approval by the third party inspection agency, also take a lot of important information out of it strip it, no floor joist sizes, beam sizes, clg jst, rafters, and I like the idea of turning on all the layers and send a dxf file

  7. EDIT: Ray, my direction below in green, not so good :wacko: . After taking a second look this morning, the tool to easily solve your problem is the "Edit All Roof Planes"!

    Open it, go to the Framing tab, check the "Eave Sub Fascia", then check "Build Roof Framing" and that's it!

    It doesn't "appear" to change anything else in the model but that!

    Mike just got back from plowing thanks for taking the time to look at it I will see if I can get it to work know that I am back

  8. Mike thanks I drew a small one like you and the fascia does show up, I rebuilt framing on the plan I was working on and no fascia showing when all framing is selected in floor plan or elevation I have rebuilt and all not sure why it is not showing in the plan I am working on
