Well..... ain't you the clever one...... I think I get it..... you want to use the TRAY CEILING TOOL........ with this tool you can either make a tray ceiling that goes up in the ceiling or is lower than the ceiling. What you want is this tool to create a dropped ceiling..... and if you make the "tray" part small enough, you have essentially dropped the entire ceiling down...... but you still need to define the room. which means you might as well use the thickened ceiling finish. Nice thinking but I am not sure this is the best solution.

probably not...

I have always used a ELEVATION REGION before, but for some reason some funny stuff is going on unless I am missing something....

Hi All, I will host a WORKSHOP this Friday at 3:00 pm PST Friday..... 6:00 pm EST Friday ..... and 9:00 am Aussie time on a Saturday. This will be a GOTOMEETING and I will host. If you would like to attend...... please please please send me an email to. dscotthall AT mac DOT com (this makes it so much easier for me vs you responding in this thread. ) An email please An email please. An email please. An email please. An email please. An email please. Twos topics can we can discuss are: - the terrains in the latest X-12 - PLAN VIEW SETS with the ref sets...... and anything you want to discuss..... lets's try to keep it to less than 1 hour...... but I have a feeling it will go 2 hours.....

Yes, I was working on this one and I did not think it mattered.

Well, he could drop the garage floor down lower than the concrete stem wall........ and if there is no stem wall he should raise the terrain like you suggested.... has anybody else noticed that the terrain in this vastest version does not work as well.... I have been getting some very unpredictable results..... I have go to put together a workshop..... how bout Friday at 3:00 pm pst?

I disagree with this advice, any section thru garage would be incorrect...

Yep, model it like it is built.

I think this will help

ditto Joe... and multiple ref plans...... very powerful...... if it doesn’t work for a user then they don’t get it. we should do a work shop soon to share ideas on 12

Steve, too many to count, but none as good as yours...... yours are to the point...

Yeah, so do I.

I never use it. I only ensure that the first wall I draw is located at an absolute point that is not a fraction.

I got to hand it to you Steve, you do a great video less9n. Good stuff!

Thanks Eric, I swear I looked there 37 times and I could not see it.... jeesh!!

I give up... I cannot find it..... where is the Start End indicators.... how to turn on display? thanks

Use two windows, one up and one down, uncheck include in schedule for one of them...

ditto....

I usually change it to a 6" wide door and then flip it and then resize.

This is a great tip..... I considered doing this but the way I label my files, the latest was always at the bottom of the folder for easy access....... but I should rethink this..... I am sure I can thing of a way to keep the "MAIN PLAN" at the bottom of the folder list for quick and easy access.... like maybe a space before the file name of all ref plans and no space in file name for "MAIN PLAN". The relinking really isn't a big deal EXCEPT I always lose my shadows for my elevations. Good power tip Michael.

yep, that is usually the answer.

..... and that is not an exaggeration. It is getting ridiculous.

Joe, I was flagged by the county, they are using the 2019 code.

.... and by adjusting the stretch zone, you can eliminate the hanging brackets

Thanks Rob, sorry for the bother, I thought I had done a search using "HEATER", sometimes I wonder if I am entering the "I wonder where I am zone", but I should be too young for that
