    Would you call that passive/agressive behavior? I agree with you Richard, let's cover each other's back because we all make many mistakes in our job, and our mistakes can be expensive, so let's help out an associate.

    Love it love it love it, thanks JC, the sooner we get this minutia out of the way, the sooner you will be a viable contributor to the forum. Nice job Joey, stick at it until the issue is resolved.

    In my mind it is very important. I set it about 10 years ago and I forget it....... unfortunately I relocated my office 2 years ago so the next few plans had the wrong info until I changed it....... this stuff is no brainer stuff..... I do not know where the confusion is..... it is inputted in your template plan, if you do not have a template plan then you will have to input the stuff for every new job.

    Which reminds me, in the last release or so, we can now specify the number of hinges.

    Okay, but I would rather my walls be solid and my rail be a white fill. I think that is typically how it is done.

    How do I know which one is live and which one is Memorex? You forgot to put hinges on your door. Very very nice!

    That is clever, however if you put those windows in a room, suddenly you lose the corner glass and there is a post in the corner. The solution to that would be to put a room on the other side of the window, and now what window is not an exterior window but a window on the inside of a house and it will again behave properly. The attached pic shows what happens when you complete the house so the window is inside a room. Yusuf had simply put two walls together. BTW, the room outside the window was a tip I learned from John Jones of CA, thank to him for that.

    Yea, but it too is not totally correct because it will show the wall finish (double line at each side of wall).

    That's it, if it is a solid wall you get the wall fill in plan.... not what I want.... but if I do balusters I get a white fill on my railing in plan view. I finally get it..... but it ain't right..... I don't care what my railing is.... open, closed, with balusters..... I don't care.... I should get a non-filled wall. This is very Important to understand.... we must choose a wall type with several layers for situations where the ballister railing/solid railing is actually the edge of a floor platform. Thanks Racklamore, I finally understand what changes the plan view of the railing and the way it is set up now is wrong.

    Hey Graham, never lose the humor, we need more of it here. In regards to what did not work for me, the plan view was not what I would like to see. If you can compare the plan view using P's solution and your solution, they are different and I like P's plan view solution.

    Okay, did a Skype with The Great Glenn Woodward, do you think we solved it? Heck yeah!!! With Perry's Bucked Wall, we need an extra stucco layer so I can control where the platform is built to. I will do a vid sometime soon on Perry's Bucked Wall Solution. Again, the least poisonous solution.

    Hey guys, back to the BUCKED WALL. I thought Perry's solution was the best of all the evil solutions. However, if I stray a little past down and dirty, problems pop up. Take a look at this plan and see if you can fix the problem. It seems that windows stacked on two different floors cause problems. PERRY BUCKING PLAN STOCK 2.plan

    Whilst a great solution, I think Perry's solution might work better for my project. Thanks do much Graham for the interest. When we all work together, we make a great team.

    Dennis, you and I are seeing the same thing. We hope they are working on stairs for X8.

    I opened your plan, did full overview, I surface deleted the treads and I did not see a stringer. I reopened your plan did full overview and opened stair dvx and selected NO RISER, I now had stringers, inconsistent behavior.
  16. dshall
    Weird stuff, go to STYLE<CLOSED STRINGER, different looking stringers on each side, to to STYLE<SINGLE STRINGER and all is well. I played with it a little more and I think I got what you wanted.

    Joe, that is a valid argument, but that is not what my contractor is doing. Every couple of weeks he writes me a check so I have decided to do what he wants me to do.
  18. dshall
    Joe, what you are missing is the stucco return between the buck and the blue window frame , see the dark brown stucco, that is what you are missing.
  19. dshall
    Joe, I must of been looking at the wrong plan because nothing in your plan comes close to what I am trying to do. See pics.... no buck at framing and no stucco buck...

    Perry's solution is not perfect, but it is the least poisonous poison.
  21. dshall
    I don't understand. I thought I was clear on what I was trying to achieve. Perry did it. Does your solution solve the problem? Joe, I look at your solution and I am trying to figure out what you did. Are you showing a way that does not work?
  22. dshall
    Yusuf, do you think your solution is better than Perry's solution? I do not think so.
  23. dshall
    Great question. Ask yourself this, would you as the designer want to know sooner or later...... I say sooner..... so yes.... I think you should say something...... if you are dealing with an appreciative architect, he will thank you. In this business, I think it is wonderful when one trade looks out for another trades back. The key is letting him know about the issue without coming across as a know it all.

    No, it was a question for Glenn.

    With this solution, P. should get bonus points.
