Mike, You likely toggled off Connect Cad Segments Also there is a setting in Preferences>CAD>Options>"Connect CAD Segments".

Take a look at this thread :

I just changed the foundation wall type to 8" Concrete Stem Wall and opened the Room Specification DBX for the basement under the structure tab and changed G from 11 11/16" to 0". If you would like me to show you check your PM or I can return the plan file.

Does this look any better?

Not quit sure what is going on when I opened the section view for the Master Bedroom the stem walls were there but for some reason the floor is 11 11/16" lower, and then the stem walls disappeared on me. I am not sure that I did any thing that would have caused that. You might need someone with a little more experience with monoslabs to take a look.

That looks better but where did the stem wall go? Hang on and I will take a look at your plan file. What does the structure DBX look like?

Try this first. Plan Defaults> Foundation> Select "Hang 1st Floor Platform Inside Foundation Walls".

Take a look at this and see what you think. I changed the floor back to the way you originally had it which I think is correct. LI 1930 Colonial House fix.plan

How about this? I think this is closer but there is still something in defaults I missed. Not quite an expert yet.

How does this look? Let me know if you would like the file back or if there is more required.

If you can provide some photos of what you need and maybe some screen shots of where you are at, and be as specific as you can with issues you are having. Someone will be sure to help. Also what version of the software are you using?

I think I have corrected some of those issues in the past by bringing the main roof plain up to the overbuild and connecting it then manually redraw it into the original position. Not sure that you should ever get gutter in a valley though, but maybe I don't understand the question.

Also check your cross sections when you frame and you may find that you will also want to move your "OSB" out of the main layer so the floor frames correctly.

Just move your Plasterboard wall layers so they are not part of the Main Layer. Heighlight and move in the DBX (Dialogue Box) as shown below and you should be good.

Thank You Johnny, I made the adjustment in the Terrain Specification DBX accessed from the drop down menu beside select objects when in Terrain Configuration Mode.

Could one of you post your results please and maybe we can all work together to figure this out. And are we all using X8?

Not sure if there is a way to keep it on but you could put it on your toolbar so it is 1 click rather than 3.

I get essentially the same as Dermot and then you might consider using Elevation Regions to clean things up the rest of the way after turning off "Flatten Pad". I find they are easy to use and quite powerful to override other features.

Sorry for the unnecessary exercise guys. All appears to be well in X8. I will send this into Brian for tomorrow.

Many thanks for your replies, please see video part 1 Part 2

My apologies in advance if this has be discussed before but I just searched and got 85 results that did not seem to address this topic. I am trying to precisely locate and center a small symbol and because it's dimensions are in 1/16" ths this means to be centered 1/32" nds must be used. I have no problem moving the object laterally by 1/32 or even 1/64 in fact if necessary move by 1/256" and dimension to 1/128" but the elevation seems to be controlled by the DBX and the number styles in the DBX are all set to 1/16". I can not use transform and replicate and I can not use the center tool, may snap grid has been over ridden. I would like to just do this once and forget about it but cant find any options. Is there a way to set the accuracy of the number style? Any other options?

If you are making changes to a Wall Type Definition it will effect all the walls using that wall type. If you only want to change one wall make a copy of the wall type before editing.

Just make a copy of your plan file before opening in X9 and you can always go back.

And is that in X9 ? Because it looks great.

No need to update if you are not having any issues with your workflow. Interesting that your DBX is not showing driver date or version for your Mac, mine has those two extra lines. Unfortunately I have already pushed aspects of my system to their limits.
