  1. The word I think you're looking for is referencing, and the answer is no.
  2. If you're suing the Glass Panel Door Style, then the settings you're looking for are found here....
  3. Lots of ways, but I would probably just build the cabinet with no doors and position the doors manually. Put one group onto an "Armoire Doors, Open" layer and the other group onto an "Armoire Doors, Closed" layer. Simply toggle layers to change the display.
  4. Yes. You can, but it would swing open with the door.
  5. Looks nice Alan! The one piece of advice I would offer is that I typically avoid adding any detail that's really not needed when modeling custom 3D symbols. Sometimes the detail is necessary and sometimes it isn't. In the example I posted above for instance, I left off the fillets and didn't actually included the holes in the brackets either. Very minor details, but even including the extra hex nuts, the resulting symbol still only has 1/4 of the number of faces as your more technically accurate symbol does. All those extra faces really start to add up.
  6. Here's a quick video showing how to make this type of thing for yourself. It's really quite easy... Gable Bracket.calibz
  7. 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...
  8. This is a VERY clever solution Rob. Love it.
  9. 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.
  10. I usually use some variation of this general idea...
  11. Not sure what your ultimate goal is for sure, but if my guess is correct, try this...
  12. As Eric illustrated but didn't very clearly state... You have to set the height manually. Notice that he had to uncheck Auto Heights.
  13. Here are 3 different ones. Just copy and paste... ⌀øØ
  14. 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.
  15. This thread might help shed a little light on the situation since I think it's basically the same sort of issue...
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. Here’s a video I made a while back that has a similar sort of chimney situation. Maybe something in here will help you...
  19. 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
  20. I offer custom tutorial videos as a service, but this one is on the house...
  21. Post that plan here soon and I'll show you a few things real quick.
  22. 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.
  23. By the way, another little trick that can be employed is Ignore Top Floor in the Build Roof dialog.
