I tried this too, made the room divider, unchecked "no locate", wall, and modeled a ceiling plane. Was that how you got it to work? Only thing I could think of to do..

Nah, it was supposed to be recessed into the ceiling, just forgot to do this on the test plan. But MIck said it didn't make a difference anyways. I didn't get this when I tried on my main plan, but that won't work anyways, needs to be a railing. Thanks, I was going to myself, but figured I was missing something because of the late hour. Thanks for validating my issues gents!

I have a two story with a open below room (with a shed roof on that side). OK, when I do not have a trey ceiling on this second floor (as shown on cross section 1 attachment), the ceiling line is as it should be. But once I add a trey ceiling on the second floor, the ceiling plane extends out (as shown on cross section 2 attachment). You can see the dashed lines out and over the open below room on the attached plan. I created a test plan and the issue duplicates. Any ideas? I unchecked "no locate" on the railing walls. Def. Stumped here.. TEST.plan

Or check out 3Dwarehouse.com if the bonus library doesn't have what you need. Billings MO? I moved here from RepMo in 2019, so we were practically neighbors.

Worked as a charm. You ever have one of those days, where you just forget about a tool? Brain fog this AM I guess. Thanks!

Good morning pros. I am wrapping up a approval design, and one of the final steps is that I take a couple RT camera views. I come to this shot, and wondering how do I get both floors lights to show on? Its a night view because I want that glow. I have rooms above in this great room, that don't show on also. Thank you in advance.

My apologies, I didn't mean to highjack the original OP's concerns. I should have started a new thread with my question.

Gotcha, well I must be doing something wrong, because if 30 is the norm my quality is bad. I always leave it unchecked and start getting good quality in the 2k range

I see this on my options, been never really understood why it should be checked, and if it needs to be, why the option?

Cool stuff... some are heck yeah others are "huh". lol. I will need to do some training on. Since I don't participate on the beta, one part of the video video (@ 10.09) I noticed corner post is floating.. was there a way to adjust that?

I want to mow the grass too Bob/Larry/Jason. Where did you find this, or is this a X15 beta thing?

It looks great PC, but like Java states, it's going to make your file large. I did this myself on my first ICF, but not as great of detail as yours.. and it started to bog down because of the size. So my fix was to create a new wall material (used a CMU block as my go by), changed the size to that of a ICF block. This got me close to a count. I'd still use the block you created in specific places where you'd have a detail (limited use). Put in its own layer to so you can turn off on the plan. And share if you can. my $0.02.

Hey Brandt, Another work around is to do a Cross/Section of the room. It shows more than what you need too, but????

The first thing I would check is to see if that wall is checked to be an attic wall.

I created a material of the zip board and use this in place of the typical OSB. I haven't used the zip with foam attached, but I do use the mineral wool for the "Rockwool" as illustrated in the attached. I'd be curious on the Zip Foam board for sure. I guess, again, create a new material board with the correct thickness (zip + foam) and R and use that in your wall definition. Your section views won't be correct but your reports will be. Or do like Maureen or John stated... On the Build Show!

What's up fellow Flo panhandler... Have you looked at your camera setting?

I am def impressed with your renders, and have booked marked this for future education. Shoot I still can't get past the glow around objects on an interior shot, without going to midnight. Why do you use countertops in lieu of a terrain feature? I am too! But my next project scheduled to start end of the week will be bigger than the normal 2k sq I'm used to doing.. So I am excited about that. Currently working on a 3 bed/2 full bath/kitchen/living/laundry at 1000 sq. My client is a 19 year old... wants to live within his means. Impressive!

Why not use a ceiling plane..? Then your fixture would have connected at the right height

Am I missing something here? Wouldn't a room schedule do this? You can set to standard, or interior sq.

yes, basically

No problem Eric... I am drawing out the lot lines, and when I draw a property line, I draw it in feet, with a 2 place decimal, like I would when I dimension it. But when I look at the properties, it shows in the 128th of an inch.. not the feet.00".

Ok, need a little guidance this Saturday morning, and its probably right in my face, and the coffee hasn't soaked in yet. I've gone through Preferences and didn't see it, I've searched help and all I'm pretty much finding is inches to metric stuff, and I've gone through my defaults.. but I still cannot find where I change the default so that I am not drawing lines at 128ths of an inch. . Curious why this is the OOTB option anyways?

That's bada$$. Very cool. I'd live in any one of these, esp. the one to the right with skylight and unique shaped deck..

Floating Dormer: Also known as a false dormer or fake dormer. In this type of dormer, all walls rest on top of the roof plane. Yeah, I googled it. I know what they are, shoot my house has one.. just didn't know they were called floating. Thanks Jim. I'm always learning!

Curious, what is a floating roof dormer?
