You can always get the .stl files from Simpson and apply a material to them.

Personally I would just use a p-solid in a situation like that but no harm in putting in a suggestion to be able to add a profile to a corner board so it is easier to do in the future.

Not sure that you can have terrain features without a terrain so it could be an issue with material visibility or application. It might be helpful to post the plan file.

(c) edit the wall polyline to cover the beam.
P.S. Also we are no longer allowed to have LVL in an exposed situation anyway.

I do have primary format of smallest fraction set to nearest 1/2 inch. Is there a setting that is preventing dimensions from ever rounding up? That appears to be my issue here.
If you could post the plan file we could have a look at your specific situation.

Yes you should be able to get it back out of the library and edit it if it is still a p-solid. If you want it all as one you can create a symbol from the assembly but if the next client wants the same thing that is 4' shorter it would be good to also keep the original work in your library as symbols do not edit very well.

It seems to be a known issue that I have sent in but not enough others have sent in yet. So I would encourage you to do that and send it in.
For now if there is a way you can control the layering such that you don't need to use a background fill with the hatch pattern you should be fine to print to PDF. Also some PDF viewers do not have as much of an issue with this as others so try that if it is an option.

I needed to add walls around the stair opening.
It is still better to keep that and just turn off the layer if you don't want to see it.
"if a room is drawn within a larger structure and none of its walls connect to the exterior walls, either directly or indirectly by connecting to walls that do, it is referred to as an “island” room. The program will connect such a room to the larger structure with an Invisible Wall. See Room Dividers and Invisible Walls."

AFAIK, there's no "save in layout" for the images.
There was in X13.

You can see another layer below your drywall on the interior layer. That is most likely the paint layer and what is causing the issue.
Pretty sure it is just the extra unexplained interior line the same as Charles posted but yes definitely worth checking.

Here's the screenshot of the wall definition:
Is the main layer marked as "Framing" as Charles posted above? If it is you may need to post your plan file.

You will also be shocked at how often...well, maybe...at how often roofing contractors over estimate roofing materials and end up cutting into their profits. I will tell you 100% that the Chief numbers for roofing materials are accurate. They can add 10% for waste, or what ever percent they use, and they love saving $$ and time.
I have seen plenty of bundles of unopened roofing on the top of the container loads being disposed from roofing jobs and I can assure you the client is paying for the extra shingles and the disposal of them. I will need to check again if materials are being calculated correctly for roofs but I have not seen anything in the update notes about it so I would advise people to check their material lists before submitting them.

I got there easy enough. I was just asking if I can select only the center section that is 12:12 and leave the wings at 8:12 alone. In this case, erasing the wings is a non-issue as I have not done any design work there yet. If I learn how to just change the center section I will know something new for when I am further along in design.
Sure, once you are committed to manual roof planes they can be selected and adjusted manually one at a time or similar planes in a group.
2 minutes ago, KnotSquare said:If I use tranform/replicate, will it turn off my automatic roof build? I try not to do that until I am as far along in design as I can get.
Sorry I suppose I should have looked at you file but yes stick with the build roof DBX if you are still doing auto roof.
-
Transform and Replicate also works if it is just a simple elevation change. You can also select other components that need the same adjustment.
-
Build > Roof > Edit All Roof Planes. You should have actually been given a warning directing you there trying to use defaults if I recall correctly as I have tried to do the same thing in the past.

Just now, KnotSquare said:
Under Edit, do not see this. Please direct me to where I can find this function.
With the Roof Tools in the drop down near the bottom of the list. However you may also need to edit them individually if there are differences.
-
Have not looked at the video yet but defaults will not effect a roof once it is built and you need to use Edit All Roof Planes.

Did you read through and understand this one ?
If not you can post your plan file and one of the experts will take a look.

Do they go away when you delete the associated wall detailing ? If not you may need to post the plan or contact tech support.

Ouch... Did those arrive with the Auto Detailing ?
Help...electrical connection lines combine when edited

Pretty sure I have seen that happen before but can't reproduce it in a small test plan. Have you sent tech a plan file with the issue?
If you have and they can't figure it out you can always post the file here.
