  1. The drag select does not seem to work with General Framing selected either. I can select them individually but not a group of them by dragging. I believe this might have changed after the last update on August 8th. That's something I used everyday and I hope its just a glitch or a setting. I just tried it in my X15 and it works (see attached video) select studs x15.mp4
  2. I'm bumping this and added a video. I can't drag select studs multiple studs to delete. I used to be able to but all the sudden I can't and I need to select them individually to delete the ones I don't want to show on my floor plan. Any help would be appreciated! select studs.mp4
  3. On my floor plans I'll typically select a wall to frame and then only leave the studs next to openings or under point loads and then delete the others that I don't want to see on my floor plan. I always hold left click drag select and then hit delete to get rid of the extra studs but as of today it won't select the studs. I have to pick on each one individually. I must have hit a setting somewhere but I have no clue as to what setting that is. Other items still select that way, just not the studs. Any hints as to what setting I must have changed?
  4. I agree the skylights work great for solar panels but my question is how to stop them from cutting a hole in the roof. You can turn off the hole in the ceiling but are still left with a hole in the roof.
  5. I typically do manual roofs and I don't see a separate roof opening, just the skylight. I can turn off shafts and holes in the ceiling but I'm stuck with the hole in the roof. Its not a huge deal but in my sections you see the hole. Seems like this would this would be an easy option for Chief to add being solar panels are being specified more and more (at least here in Washington State).
  6. The bonus solar panel doesn't show up correctly. Its dimension doesn't follow the pitch of the roof.
  7. The skylights in X15 are great and I've been using them as solar panels as they show up dimensionally correct on the roof but they cut the hole in the roof. Is there a way to turn off the skylight from cutting the hole in the roof when using them as solar panels?
  8. Awesome! That worked great Rene. I really appreciate your help.
  9. Thanks Rene. Forgive my ignorance but the last time I programed anything was in "Basic" on my Atari 800XL in 1985. If %type code% = "LS" then print "XO". How do I type that in macro format and do I insert it under "Specify Label"?
  10. I'm looking for an answer for this also. I'm want my Left Slider windows to be labeled as XO and right sliders as OX.
  11. My sill is turned off. It only goes away if I turn the casing off.
  12. I couldn't find any settings that cleaned it up but I tried dragging the bottom of the doorway below the stoop and that fixed it. I have to turn the casing off but at least the subfloor is gone.
  13. I'm trying to recess my stairs into my front covered porch but I'm getting a small strip of subfloor under the wall where my steps start. I used a wall with an arched doorway to create the arched entrance where my stairs start. To create the area for the stairs I drew a room divide and called the space for the stairs as open to below. Is there a setting I'm missing to help clean this up?
  14. Aww! Thank you Eric. I've tried that before but it still trimmed it and made my fascia bigger also but I just saw a DBX to add it only to the gable. So one last question, can I extend it 6" to hide the end of my gutter?
  15. Is there a way to have a full plumb cut on a gable end and not have it trim to the fascia height? I want a 2x12 barge board with a full plumb cut and a 2x6 fascia for my gutters.
