I believe the issue you're experiencing should be considered a bug. When you uncheck "rotate with plan", the text itself stays put, but the center points of the 2 pieces of the label do NOT. I think it should be submitted to tech support. Due to the unique nature of those automatic 2-piece labels they need some programming added so that the center points of both pieces of the label recognize plan rotation. In the meantime, you might consider just using a Rich Text box with the appropriate macros... %room.name% %room.dimensions% %room.area.internal% That way all that text can be in a single box (which will rotate properly). PLUS, as an added benefit (using Rich Text instead of standard text) you can format the different items on a line by line basis.

Did you try to attach something? If so, it didn't attach.

Maybe post the plan so one of us can take a look.

Its working fine for me. Maybe one for tech support.

You bet. I'm guessing what you probably did was try to rotate it 180 degrees to put it back to normal. That setting is an absolute setting though so 180 degrees would do nothing.

Rotate Plan View WAS the culprit. When you open that dbx you'll see that its set to 180 degrees. Simply set it back to zero.

Here's a quick video going over just the basics of how I might approach that issue...

By the way...thank you for posting the plan.

Your problem is here... This setting controls where your floor platform below frames to. You have your floor framing to the absolute exterior face of your building therefore leaving no room for siding. In my experience you typically only want your platform framed to the exterior of your framing layer or maybe to the exterior of your exterior sheathing, not to the exterior of your siding though.

I'll try to make you a quick video if I can find a few minutes this afternoon. Maybe post me a quick plan with just the basic dual pitch roof set up like you want it so I have something to start with.

I would just remove the automatically created facia and replace with a polyline solid.

Is it mainly the facia that you are having a hard time with? Or are you looking for some specific framing details as well?

You probably ought to post the plan then.

Convert the arc to a plain polyline (with a higher number of sides) before converting to a molding polyline.

I'm guessing you used the Rotate Plan View tool which essentially just rotates your entire "drawing board". Use the same tool to rotate it back. If you want to rotate the plan back to where it was use Edit Area or another method.

See this thread, specifically post number three… https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/9103-poly-line-labels-why-did-chief-bother-to-add-this-feature/?hl=%2Bdecimal+%2Bplaces

Have you guys considered just using a second very narrow set of stairs for your handrail instead of oversizing the one set?

Just got back to computer and verified. I was close...its the "Deck Support" tab. Edit>Default Settings>Room>Deck Room>Deck Support

Not at my computer to check but I believe it's in the deck room dbx..."Support" tab maybe?

...or cut/paste hold position into a blank plan (or another floor/detail), modify, and cut/paste hold position back into original view.

Don't select your poly first. If you do that, the poly will be treated as your edit area selection polyline. Just click edit area AND THEN draw your lasso just like you would in VW.

Here's a quick sample plan with a cabinet modified using the technique I posted in that other thread. They key is to use an inset side panel on the bottom followed be either a Separation or a manually placed shelf above that. If necessary you can also adjust the vertical overlap and possibly top separation to get you what you're after. Cabinet example.plan

This thread is a little confusing to me. I'm not sure what the goal is. Do you want the door overlapping the frame or do you want the door hanging past the box? Which direction...up or down? And for what purpose?

Good write up Mickey. To each his own. If you don't mind I think maybe you should redo those screenshots to add this one as well so people can see all options side by side. The simple wall break and drag footing over method...
