I have looked all over, played with default settings, to no avail. Where can I adjust the orientation of a dimension text? I designed this house in its true direction (north-south). Horizontal dims, no problem. Vertical dims however are going to be upside down on a layout sheet when plotted and read. Where can I change this direction. Or is the only fix, doing this as a landscape layout and rotating view where in this case North would be to the right?

Wall intersection tool didn't work either. Did you try it, and if so, did it work for you? I got two fix around ideas and trying those. The show must go on, right? Hey Chief Architect, when you get in on Tuesday. Is this something you can get fixed on next release. This program is so smart, you would think a simple wall intersection wouldn't need "work arounds". Thanks

That's exactly how I am getting around this Scott, by creating a thin solid, matching material properties, and then putting in its place. Thought there was another way to correct this the right way, instead of using duct tape, per say. Chiefer, I did try another wall and move into place, same result. Did that before I posted my question. If you look at the plan, it looks like the rail wall, penetrates the main, whereas it should stop at face. I changed the main to a pony, with block on the bottom portion (inside raised bed, like it would be built), and the height being the same as rail wall. Still no fix. Wondering why I can't open the model I attached before? Says its locked. So when you guys open an attached model, is it via my PC, vs an attachment you download or open on your own?? Thanks gents!

Hey CA community, Got a little issue where a rail wall intersects a main wall. The exterior material gets removed above the rail wall, on the main wall. This has happened many places now on the design I am working and I was able to duplicate the issue on this example model. Any ideas, is it a settings thing??? This is a raised planter bed, and focal point of my clients back yard. Thanks, wall intersection problem.plan

Ok. On the same topic. My client bought CA to design his own house and got way to deep into before he ended up hiring me to clean, fix and finalize his model. His default ceiling height (first floor) is 10' (121.125"). In his family room it steps down 16", giving a ceiling height of 137.125". He wants to lower this ceiling 12" now so he can tray it. With a room above this room, and a room below, HOW! When I change "E" or "F", Floor Above "A" moves, even with default checked (becomes unchecked once you modify any height) I would like to post the model, but I cannot do without his permission. Any ideas on how to this from all you experts?
