Thanks, I did like the colors. It is still in X7, I exported from x7 as calibz and brought into x8....... it worked. Graham, you might try this with your ELKAY SINK.

Either learn to build your roofs correctly or turn off the CEILING BREAK LINE LAYER. Cut a section thru that roof, is that the way you want your roof rafters to work...... Sticking down in the room.

Did anybody notice that the Sherwin Williams Martha Stewart paint colors disappeared in x8. Why does this stuff disappear when we upgrade. What happens when we open an older plan in X8 that is using this material?

Your welcome...... BTW, if you put it on attic layer and then drag end to fill triangle, it should work. Two methods, two solutions.

I will take Denver........ Listening to news now...... Chargers staying put, they will try to build a stadium in San Diego.

Yeah, that would be my guess, but I have never verified that would work. This topic comes up every 6 months and it seems like there is never a definitive solution. I wonder if we could check it out if the plan was posted? naiad...... hey P. who is going to win the big game? I say Denver. They have the defense and the more experienced quarterback. I bet a lunch and happy hour on the Broncos.... which typically means Denver will probably lose.

Are you sure your name is Viki? You look like an old girl friend from 23 years ago, her name was not Viki.

Many years ago I did many vids on dormers, not sure if I could find them now.... quick answer.... I put those walls on the floor above... then they don't show in plan... another option is to put the walls on their own layer called..... WALL NORMAL, NOT IN PLAN, and then turn that layer off.

open your PLAN MATERIALS DBX and then PURGE, all unused materials will go away.

Nice job Michael.... but I will say that maybe CA has this worked out in x8 so the additional layer is not required. Interesting.

Larry, why did you post the plan? Was it because you wanted a quick and correct solution to your problem? There is a great team out here to help with user issues if a plan is posted.

I just noticed that if I opened an x7 plan that had framed door panels (no molding on inset of panel), when I brought to X8, the framed door panel (shaker) now how molding on inside panel. In X7 we could pick framed door panels in a CA template plan, no longer. Nuts.

Yep, you got it Gavin Dennis, the secret is to pick the panel style from library and not from the cab drop down menus.... is that correct?

I am not to sure I get this behavior. But here is a challenge, try to have a glass door on the front, a glass PANEL (not a door) on the left a panel on the right (without glass) I can get glass on the side, but it must be a door and not a panel.... (which means I get a door knob on the side which I do not want.

I can confirm to what RACKLAMORE says.. interesting, upgrade to x8 and be done with it...... I am assuming my x8 results are the same as everybody else results, can anybody confirm that x8 does not have problem. Bottom line, use pony walls, do not use material regions

I can confirm, I opened in x7 and I see the problem, I do not have problem in x8.

Try reopening and check again, maybe it was fixed when you opened and closed the file.

I opened in X8, I made no changes, I did full overview, I do not see problem, I cannot explain why you are having a problem.

Yea, I agree with JC, do a save as, it's computerese 101.

Yes, F&C specs are needed to be MORE FLEXIBLE. Using layers in the CEILING DBX works for FULL SOFFITS, but if the soffit had some shape to it, if gets a bit tricky. JPC, you brought up a good point.....

Yep, I did, if one was to go on their browser and do a search for DEMO PLAN VIDEOS BY DSH it would probably pop up. I think it is a similar method that 95% of users use.

What option would it take away. You can't have ceiling joists and floor joists occupy the same vertical space. It only makes sense that floor joists override ceiling joists.

Thanks Graham, that makes sense.

lol, it really was not too difficult to predict a solution could not be had without a plan. The really difficult part is predicting the number of guesses without a plan. But I will take the winner's medal and put it on my mantle next to my "Jerk of the Month" award. But on to more important topics, who will win the Super Bowl? My prediction.... Denver, they have the best defense and the most experienced quarterback.

Is it possible for a file to be modified before it was created?
