I am using the doors from my pull-down, so parametric. But those doors come from my set defaults, which contain doors from the library. I dropped a door from the library into this model, and the option to reverse isn't highlighted to pick.

Curious, does this only work on actual exterior doors, because it doesn't seem to work on interior doors? On hall closets, or mechanical rooms (for example), I like to separate the trim packages so I don't have the high profile casings on the insides of these spaces. When I do this, 99.9% of the time it changes the exterior to a standard profile, when I want it the other way around. I was hoping that "reversing" the designation, that I could avoid having to fix both casings every time. Sure hope this made sense...

I had the same issue. X17 would load and crash on my laptop, while I was on a job site.. just had it opened last night, so I was a bit frustrated. Once I got home, still the same issue, so I downloaded X18, thinking it was 17 that was the issue. While loading 18, that kept crashing also and not finishing the download. I saw Ryan's response and sure enough, the vid card was out of date. This has all been corrected.. just curious though, why would a out of date vid card stop the download of X18? My desktop worked great btw, but that's a 3000 series card.

@DRAWZILLA @JKEdmo Yeah I have update to the latest version, and repaired and uninstalled and reinstalled. Like Jim stated, only large files like our drawing packages, regular docs, doesn't seem to be an issue. From CHAT "There are current reports from Windows users running Acrobat 26.002.21931 saying Acrobat suddenly freezes or goes “Not Responding” immediately after opening PDFs. One detailed report says it started in late September, affects different PDFs, and Repair Installation, reinstalling Acrobat, changing drivers, and resetting preferences did not fix it" Once I confirmed I did have .21931 There are current reports specifically for .21931 on Windows where Acrobat goes Not Responding after opening PDFs. One user documented Acrobat creating thousands of Windows objects until resources were exhausted; another reports the same build freezing on multiple Windows machines. Importantly, Repair Installation and even reinstalling did not solve it for some users.

Anyone else having issues with their PDFs opening but then not responding? This is happening on my PC and laptop...

you got that right...

This is what I had to do, so that the rail didn't extend past post on starter tread. A lot of manipulating... but it works!

@DBCooper Ahh... so even if its against the wall (as the top of these stairs are), but connects to a railing.. that option doesn't work. That makes sense. I pulled up another job that had the railing on a wall, and your 100% right. Learnt something today. I guess what got me thinking on this was this %#*$# stairs I've been working on for a bit. On my my 7th rendition.. but finally got an answer on direction and moving forward. I want the starter tread to have a post near the second riser, but when I do this, the rail sticks out. So where it said "Extend Bottom End", I thought if I put a negative in, that would work. And obviously it didn't. To get this to work how I want it, with this already in 3 sections, I'm going to add another section of just the starter thread which will be #1 now. #1 becomes #2 and one less tread and bottom height.. man I hope that made sense... what you see now is just a work in progress,

As many stairs I have done, the "Handrail Options" never work for me, do they for you all? No matter the number I put in, I get nothing.

No down vote from me. I agree totally. Continue to work and improve the stuff that builds the house.

Perfect. Thanks Chris

It seems like we had a discussion a while back on this kind a framing. I am doing an addition to a church, a multiple phase project. I put the main building in the model, but I DO NOT want that framing (walls, ceiling, roof to build or even show.) I'll have three exterior walls I want to edit (remove windows and fill in, change a few windows to doors, etc..) but that framing will stay in place for the most part. All the roofing will be over framing. Is there a way that I can create the framing of the additions, and not have the rest of the existing build show and report also?

Good evening Chiefer's, I have one of those clients that keeps changing their mind on the style of their home, esp. the foyer and stairs. I believe I am on the fifth go round on these things. Had to put a stop on the process (even though I am being paid for this) because it was affecting my other clients schedule. I asked to send me the stairs that was wanted and I will make it happen. The attached is what I have been sent. I need your eyeballs please since this is a very special staircase compared to what I am used to doing. Any advice is greatful. Its obviously a circular stair case with a straight section. What I am having a hard time seeing is: How is the railing attached to the stairs esp. on the back side near the flat wall? I have done pony walls before that followed the stairs, but this looks a little more than just that. I have a curve wall at the bottom landing, so I am assuming there is a curve wall on the opposite side (partially)? How would this transition into the main wall? Would this be three different stair sections to make the one. Upper straight, the curve and the the bottom flared? The section under the stairs (where the artwork is on the wall), that ceiling appears to be sloped. or is it a optical illusion. This stairs affects half the second floor layout, because of the "bridge" and room access points, which has changed just as many times. I thank you all for your input in advance

@SkullMesaRanch No sure about the perpetual license thing, but nice set up on the ranch. Look at all those cactus.. wow. Where our your neighbors? :-)

My thoughts also. Did you tell ChatGPT, the location, direction house was facing? This looks great Rich.

That's what I needed... should have asked years ago. Thanks!

I know I've suggested in the past, to fix the arrow situation, esp. when the arrow thinks it has to connect to the object your pointing too. It is such a PITB having to constantly adjust arrows because something moved. Until we get this fixed.. is there a way to make it not connect to an object?

I'd like to know also.. in the past I've always waited after a few updates before uploading, however this one sounds like it will have new tools I can use right away.

First thing I'd look at is if there is a ceiling height?

Same here brother.. sorry about your loss. Going through a typical Florida thunderstorm as we speak, and my lab is stuck to my hip... she hates them..

It doesn't hurt to look at what's going on above too.. Is there a room above this area? Different joist depths? Weird how yesterday it was fine though...

Wow, no more material regions for board and batten? That will save a lot of time, since ~50% of the homes here get B&B. The molding on shingles and other materials will be nice too. Very nice.... I don't participate in the beta testing, so I am eager to see all these new enhancements.

I def would. Just treat the decking like any other decking, but instead of 3/4" Advantech underlayment like you normally would, call out the Q-decking and the concrete floor (using the correct thicknesses). Shoot, even call out the truss as part of the setup also.

??

This would be my guess too...
