    Or...temporarily change your exterior wall definitions to remove the extra exterior layers, create the plan footprint, then change the walls back.
  2. Alaskan_Son
    Okay, I wasn't fully understanding. I think your best bet is probably just to create the footprint and then convert to polyline and manually adjust it.

    You should probably attach a plan. Hard to tell whats going on based on your screenshot, and for your particular issue it would be good to see your wall definitions.

    You know...I'm not sure I've ever used that tool. Not sure if I ever even knew it was there. Not sure I'll ever need it, but thanks for bringing to my attention Perry : )

    This is obviously very subjective. Maybe you should try making those 3D flowers and see what its worth to you to create them.

    A couple things... 1. You can select that room you created above the stairs and make the room type "Open Below" and your stairs will show up. If all you're producing is floor plans, that might be enough, HOWEVER... 2. Bigger issue is that your stairs don't actually work as you've drawn them up. Take a section view midway through your stairs and parallel with them and you'll see what I'm talking about. They just need to be adjusted and then you don't need that manually created room on the main floor necessarily, the auto stairwell tool would do the trick.

    I bet a huge part of the problem is that very few people submit these things to tech support.

    I suspect it's an issue with your wall definition though.
  9. Alaskan_Son
    Attaching the plan would probably be a good idea.

    I messed around with it a little more... Not sure why, but in the wall definition for your exterior wall, if "Build Platform To Exterior Of Layer" is set to a main layer it keeps that wall from automatically ballooning through. So, as another option, you can either change that to your stud layer or make your OSB a main layer.

    Shameless (my head shaking in sad disapproval)
  13. Alaskan_Son
    Not clear to me why, but there are indeed 2 walls occupying the same space. That lower wall is automatically ballooning up to the roofline. You can either search through your plan and figure out why that is happening, or you can just manually drag it down in elevation...or any other number of things (such as what Eric suggested above).
  14. Alaskan_Son
    Not by my computer but I'm guessing you have 2 different walls occupying the same space for one reason or another.
  15. Alaskan_Son
    You can expect X8.
  16. Alaskan_Son
    You're very welcome. Thank YOU for actually posting a plan.
  17. Alaskan_Son
    I think its your wall definition. You've added a layer (presumably a paint color) with a zero thickness on each side of the wall. That zero thickness layer is what's wrapping the end of the wall. Delete that layer or increase the thickness and the framing covers.
  18. Alaskan_Son
    You bet.
  19. Alaskan_Son
    Can you attach the plan and perhaps a screenshot showing your issue?

    At step 6 try to click "Generate Block".

    It was actually already in a custom countertop.

    Newell, This is a tough one because its hard to tell exactly what you are trying to draw, how you got there, and what some of the different structure settings are supposed to be. It would probably be worth while for you to take some training (specifically one on one to have someone walk you through it) or spend a little more time reading through the manual, guide, and/or help files and consider just rebuilding that from scratch. The plan is a mess and has a lot of things going on that were modeled incorrectly and so I'm not even sure it CAN be fixed. Honestly, if you can't get it sorted out in a couple hours or so, it might be faster to just redraw anyway.

    I was working on a bathroom design yesterday and I ended up needing to replace a cabinet with another one (before you ask, the cabinet had been highly modified using the Split Vertically and Split Horizontally operations and I could no longer make the changes I needed to make so keeping it wasn't a viable option). The problem is that I had set a sink into the original cabinet and had then proceeded to spend some time re-sizing it and changing materials to get it just right. I guess I've never really noticed it till now, but once a sink is placed into a cabinet, it becomes part and parcel of that cabinet...If the cabinet is deleted the sink is deleted (even if that sink is dragged away from the cabinet), the sink cannot be cut or copied, and the sink cannot be selected and added to the library independently of the cabinet. After trying for probably 15 minutes to keep my customized sink, I ended up just deleting it and making those changes all over again. Is there something I'm missing? Is there a way I could have kept the sink or added it to the library?

    Good job. That's what happens when you have the plan to look at ;-)

    Can you please attach the plan.
