How do you guys manually add outriggers and keep them orientated to the slope?

Typically if there is an issue where they don't generate it is on one side of the roof and not the other, so I copy and reflect usually, at least for me that is usually what happens.

If I have a situation where there are none I have one in my library that I can pull out and apply.    Pretty sure I have posted that before.

I am certainly not a trim expert but it seems to work for me. Rooms allow multiple moldings and multiple profiles for each molding but a molding polyline also allows multiple profiles and then you can use multiple molding lines.  Not sure I understand what the issue is ?

Thank you Chopsaw.  I did not realize it had to be done for every window individually.

 

I was hoping there might be a field to pull from when entered once - this will work just great.

You can group select all the windows at once and do it with one entry.  At least all the windows on one floor anyway.

Yes things are a little different in X15..   It seems you are building with rafters but you have yet you have trusses set to display in your dialogue box diagrams.  I think you need to go back to your build roof menu and set that up for rafters and the appropriate birds mouth.  Then things will behave for you as expected.

More information may be required as it sounds like maybe you just need to reframe after adjusting the structure or pitch.  Just like when you move a door or window in a framed wall..  you need to then reframe the wall.  Post a few screen shots of the trouble spots and we may even need to take a look at the plan file.  Also step by step how it ended up that way.

That seems like a pretty good reason to use Rich Text.   Any sort of inconsistency with that CSV that might be carrying through ?  Line one is not so great but line thee looks fine.

Do you actually have a roof plane in place or are you extending the rafters beyond the roof plane.  Trim to soffit may be the reason you are getting 2x6.  Just a guess though without seeing the plan file. 

It appears you may have selected " Flush Eave" rather than " Boxed Eave " in Roof Plane Specification > Options.

All Manual roof planes.

Manual usually gives you more control but did you happen to try auto ?  Other wise you may need to post the plan or share the video.

No sorry I don't think so, but you can have a floating toolbar that can be completely turned off until you need it for "cabinets" or such.

Is that an auto roof return or a manually placed roof plane ?

I thought it'd be nice if paper size could be "locked" to sheet size such as with a check box.

Yes that sure would be nice.  Or at least a project specific memory that you only need to set once.  Perhaps send that over to suggestions.

It appears that you have adjusted the pattern of the material which works in the vector views but does not affect the standard or raster views where the texture is used.   There are corresponding Course Brick materials in the core library that should work for you.  However you may still need to rotate them.

I say just leave it an arched window at the top and move on.

Is that an operating window ?  If not and it is just fixed with grills then I think you could take a stock window with a slanted top and bottom and rotate it 90° then bend it.  Unfortunately I think you would need to bend a straight one first and measure the distortion to determine the initial slant you would need to start with.  Can you tell I like the original screenshot ?

Yeah and it probably isn't even something you can get special ordered in a timely manner. I say just leave it an arched window at the top and move on.

One thing is for sure, you won't mistake it for a door with the arched base.

Thanks chop, let me give that a try.

Actually Rob, that was fun but I don't think it will work for you since I am not sure there is a way to keep the sides vertical.  You may need to build from scratch with moldings and solids.

I think she is referencing an additional lic., but I think she already has X14. and of course she can still use any prior version.

Yes I agree but the question was about a brand new license.  And using X14 with the new license for the purpose of collaboration.

you can still use X10 if you want to. In fact, you can keep all versions on your computer if needed.

I don't think that will apply to the new license Perry..  Especially not X10.

Something like this when you are done with a few experiments along the way....  Your final symbol may be best to not be a window and just use the " Inserts into Wall " option.

That might require a variation on one of @yusuf-333 's tricks.

Bend it with a very thick wall that has the appropriate radius and a reduced Facet Angle.  Create a symbol of the window and place it in the wall rotated at 90 degrees.  Recreate the symbol and rotate it back.

Yes you can select and delete but your original question was to turn off the layer as it may be useful again later on.

If you dock the " Active Layer Display Options " it should tell you what layer the PDF is on when selected.

X14 uses the " CAD, Default "  layer for imported PDF's.

Note that Eric posted an X15 screen shot above.

Be aware that there may be plenty of other things on the CAD, Default layer so that is why they changed it for X15.

No luck selecting the PDF in plan view ?   Perhaps the layer is locked ?

Depending on what version you are using see the two options I listed above.

Previous versions used the  " CAD, Default "  layer for imported PDF's by default.

Ok it looks like you have the setup correct.  Did you select the PDF ?

Also what version are you using ?
