Again, I learned something new.

@westvale I guess I never noticed it did that, but I don't think I ever changed the size either to have noticed. If you generate a block*, it changes it, but to more like the actual fixture instead of the standard wall mount symbol. Would you be ok with this?

can you do a material region (or a 3D solid) on the siding and a ceiling plane for the soffit?

As Mark was stating. Update your wall dbx, then that "gap" goes away. You should be able to adjust wall location by updating the dimension text.

@davyjones Have you tried drawing/modeling a foundation wall with footer (perimeter), then go back in and draw/model another foundation "footer" per say around the inside perimeter? What's this for anyways, kinda unique? I bet you get comments on your name a lot, don't you?

Click inside a room, look at your layer display options... Interior Area Interior Dimensions Standard Area are all available for display. Just pick the one you want.

YOUR WELCOME!

Did you build your flooring?

When you pick that story pole dim., where is the snap showing? Have you built your framing yet? What I do in a case like this, is to move that "section line" just inside the exterior facade, to see the structure, that should tell you what that snap is grabbing. Is this happening just with garage doors?

I absolutely love this show. Been watching him for years now and have learned so much as well. You will learn a lot on every aspect of a build.

On the second floor originally, but then I tried the first to no avail. Yes there was a 4.5" gap (2x4 framed wall w drywall. I'll check out that help dialog inside the stair dbx and see what it says. Thx DB

Even though I drank an Nespresso, my brain is not figuring out why I can't get this wall to follow the stairs. Its a railing wall, height set at 42", so I'm not sure why it doesn't follow. I shouldn't have to use a ramp IMO. Regardless, the client ended up going with open railing to get some natural light in that stairwell, but in the future, this is possible, isn't it? Another question.. on the stairs dbx, the "railing" tab, what is "railing transitions and smooth transitions" used for? I picked both and don't see anything different. Just curious.

Never saw that before. Did you try rebooting?

@ChiefUserGLC I can accept that sir. And I appreciate the explanation too. Not going to down vote you... I am not perfect either!

To add on to what others have mentioned: You didn't say if this was all in one room, where as you could add platforms, or was there a corridor or rooms underneath these seats. I'll take the down vote, I don't care. But GLC you could have made your point wo this statement.

@ELMarshall What kind of dimensions are we talking? Wide and long or narrow and short? Is a sloped floor an option? You can always do "landings" per say too, but you'll need ramps to incorporated somehow too. Awesome though.. our church is having the same issue, not enough seats. And that's a great thing!

You can try to change the direction the light is coming from. Pick on that light, see if it's point straight down. Look at the Light data in that fixtures dbx, it should be pointing down (-90 degrees). See if that helps.

Not trying to be mean, but why do you need to the exact surface amount? Surely you don't order paint with this hard number as is, and not round up?

Is this a thing we report as a bug and how do we block or delete off the Chief

Just did... Thanks DB.

Hey DB, how do we do this? I thought the same as Steve, that there was a preference setting I could turn this off. This isn't a service issue or a bug, so just figured someone from Chief was on the clock to read all the threads and would have an idea. But I do agree, its probably to late in X16 to have an update just for this.

@Steve-C I totally agree with you and I said the same thing just a couple days ago. This thread has a small video to explain what we are talking about.

Cool. Thanks and it has a Chief option too...

You're welcome David. This looks great! Great job my friend.

This was an easy case where I can avoid all the "choices", since this isn't very detailed. But those areas in the Working Plan View where all the layers are on, and the area is very busy, I have to zoom way up on the object I want to center on, and still I am 50-50.
