Here's a quick video showing how to make this type of thing for yourself. It's really quite easy... Gable Bracket.calibz

Instead of placing that Layout Page Table directly onto a layout page, place it in a CAD Detail in Layout, and then send that CAD Detail to your layout page (from layout to layout). This makes it very easy to simply copy that view and reposition/crop the layout boxes instead of having to meticulously mask ask adjust drawing order. Here are a couple quick videos I made a little while back showing the method I typically use for this type of thing...

This is a VERY clever solution Rob. Love it.

You're welcome. As Steve mentioned above though, the invisible wall isn't a perfect solution. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the real problem isn't how the railing connects to the adjacent wall's main layer but rather the way the room generates the deck. Is that correct? Either way, to address the issues with doors, the next step would be to open up the deck room, adjust these 2 settings... ...and then delete that invisible wall. If you need to modify the deck again later you will need to repeat the process. Regarding the wall snaps specifically though, you can select the wall, click on the Edit Wall Layer Intersection tool and then drag the layer back to the wall surface... ... Again, this won't really change anything in that scenario though except for the plan view wall display.

I usually use some variation of this general idea...

Not sure what your ultimate goal is for sure, but if my guess is correct, try this...

As Eric illustrated but didn't very clearly state... You have to set the height manually. Notice that he had to uncheck Auto Heights.

Here are 3 different ones. Just copy and paste... ⌀øØ

Hmm. Did you manually position a light source as I suggested...obviously not at that same ceiling intersection. I’m away from my computer right now but before I posted earlier, I placed a simple 4 inch recessed light on the flat ceiling and it fixed the problem right away.

This thread might help shed a little light on the situation since I think it's basically the same sort of issue...

That seems to be caused by the automatic light source being added to the ceiling right where the pitch changes. Place a light source manually.

This isn't entirely true. Instead of simply choosing from the dropdown, click Define. Then you can use the filter. Also, don't forget that depending on the circumstances you can also use the Layer Painter tool, The Layer Eyedropper, the Match Properties tool, or the Object Eyedropper to change an object's layer as well.

Here’s a video I made a while back that has a similar sort of chimney situation. Maybe something in here will help you...

Archicad can as well.

Not so much. Either: Edit them as I showed Remove them as I showed Manually position a new dimension and format it more to your liking Simply fill it in with CAD/text

I offer custom tutorial videos as a service, but this one is on the house...

Post that plan here soon and I'll show you a few things real quick.

Yes. If you use 2 of them and simply apply 2 different angled strip materials to each, you should be golden in all view types. You can also accomplish the same thing by placing a break in your wall if you want to go that route. Start with something like the Cedar Tongue & Groove from the Core Library, and make 2 copies of that material....in rotated to 45 degrees and the other rotated to -45 degrees. Apply one material to one side and the other to the other.

By the way, another little trick that can be employed is Ignore Top Floor in the Build Roof dialog.

You bet. Not sure which video you're referring to, but I would really recommend you watch any videos with a few very important pieces of information in mind.... The video may or may not be relevant or accurate in light of the most current version. Tools are added (and sometimes removed), functionalities are changed, bugs are fixed, etc. Sometimes what's shown in the video no longer applies. Unfortunately, its not feasible to remake every video for every new release though so this is just something you have to be aware of. The video may or may not apply to your particular plan. It's super common that the example being shown has some crucial difference from the plan you might be using and so the process or application thereof may be totally different. The video may completely skip over the thing you're most hoping to learn from it. Videos can be great for teaching some of the basic principles and for addressing some very specific issues, but for general learning, I think it's pretty common that they introduce just as many questions as they do answers.

Just FYI, there should be no reason you have to reduce the ceiling height in those 2 attic areas. That's actually the source of your unusual wall issues.

Although this is a very creative way to deal with numbering prefixes, it wouldn't solve the issue with the Layout Page table. Plus, I would argue that it would take longer and be more complicated than simply using the Layout Label field.

I agree. That's what I was referring to with...

Okay okay, now you're contradicting yourself. You can't have different line weights in your roof plan layer set and...
