Too much work, if you have to ask, you will probably have a tough time doing it. Anything is possible, but is it worth the effort?

Appreciate the effort Kirk. My General prefs look exactly like yours with the exception of max. undos. See attachment. I reset the general prefs, tested it, same problem, then I quit CA and tried it again, same problem. CA is on main monitor. Safari is on second monitor. I move library browser to second monitor. All okay. I work on CA, all okay. Go to monitor 2 to respond to you, go back to main monitor with CA, library browser moves from screen 2 to screen 1 EDIT: my general pref's were initially not like yours, but I changed to match. Using OSX VERSION 10.9.1 That is what this discussion is about, the library browser moving from screen 2 back to screen 1. I want to library browser to stay on screen 2 even if I have gone to safari on screen 2 and back to screen 1.

It is on the mac, whatever the problem is, I do not understand why had to force quit the program to get out of the never ending rebuild or whatever mode it was in.

Ron, I am waiting a couple years until Joe hits the century mark and then I will clean his clock. And I would be ahead of Joe in points if he would stop dinging me, I am getting so mad at him, I don't think I will ever buy him another beer at the 19th hole. Did I ever say that he is the most expensive friend I have?

You guys at CA must of noticed that if you have the layout open along with the plan..... if the moons aren't aligned correct, the program with slows down unmercifully or it hangs..... come on guys, get it together.

I know, I know, if we do the right things the program is relatively quick.... but Jesus Christ...... I get so fed up with working and for some reason I do something out of order the whole program freezes.... it is hanging up now.... trying to do a line drawing.... I can't even get out of the mfing line drawing mode.... I can't believe you guys at CA have not seen this..... this is plain stupid... how do I get out of the mfing line mode? Plain stupid, plain stupid.... please fix this..... I had to do a force quit, thanks guys..... plain stupid......

I was trying to be funny, SAM-antics, Get it? We'll I don't think anybody else got it either.

Now you have two, and no, I know of no place you can redeem them.

Curtis nailed it. Yes you can use Glenn's suggestion, but that does not give the OP what he wants. He wants to define the roof base line off of top plate. With Glenn's method, some mathematical hoops still need to be jumped thru. You might want to make this a suggestion.

SAMANTICS, ...........

It looks like you did a nice job with both, congrats.

Why can't you cut a section, measure how too low or too high the roof is and then raise the roof that distance. But I do understand that you are trying to specify the the height of the roof baseline height..... it seems like we should be able to do that.... I understand that we can't, not that I know of, but it would be a nice feature.

Just put the trusses in. You are already controlling the heal height of the truss by having roof plane in place.

Glenn, I can buy a brand new license, open a new plan, save as plan 1, I do not believe this changes OOB settings. To change OOB settings I would then need to save plan 1 as a template plan. I have never saved a plan as a template plan.

Glenn, you are not listening. I did not change the settings of default plan. When I open a new plan they are CA's defaults. I hate them. They do not work for me. I have not created a new plan in years, all my plans are edited from older plans. If I bought a brand new license and opened a new plan, those settings will be exactly what I get when I open a new plan. When I open a brand new plan, they are truly OOB. One reason I have never changed CA template plan, is when I do a video, I want to be clear that the results are never effected by my own personnel defaults. When I open a new plan the default plate height is 97-1/8". I never create a work project from this file. I have no files with a 97-1/8" plate height. Anyway, it's not important, your answer was better than mine because it was a perfect answer for 99.999999% of the users, and I was a bit embarrassed that my answer was not truly correct, I deserved the black mark.

You are right JC, I could certainly be more tactful, sorry.

Nope, when I open a new plan, they are truly OOB settings, and yes from CA' template plan. 8-1/2 years ago I opened a new plan. I changed the defaults for me. I saved that as plan 1. Every new project originates from that very first plan...... Which did come from the OOB SETTINGS.

I think what you are asking Is when I open CA and OPEN A NEW PLAN, where are the defaults coming from. I assume they are loaded from the OOB settings. Glenn, whenever I start a new plan, the info is OOB, I have never created a template plan to override the OOB settings. Everybody in the world probably has a template plan, I don't. Remember I use the SAM.

Ross, I did vid, not too good, did not post. I think you did much better in 2 minutes than I did in 30 minutes. Full rooms not being defined did effect the baseline height of roofs. Nice call on the frieze, I did not pick that up. Did pick up attic wall solution. Not sure if the time you spent is valued by the OP.

Glenn, it was the OOB answer. I said OOB was out of the of the box settings, which is very true unless you set up a profile plan. Once a profile plan is set up, that messes up the OOB settings. You correctly stated that my answer was incorrect if a profile plan has been created. Since I have never created a "profile plan" I firmly believe my response was correct. And for one of my good buddies, (by the way, I did buy you that very very expensive coffee table book), to give me a black mark is totally unforgivable, I just want you to know that "my people" will be contacting "your people". BTW, how is Jenny doing, I did like her a lot more than you. Oh yeah, I just remembered, your gift to me was a set of Kangaroo Testicles.....

BUMP........

Hey Ron, I am past Breaking Bad, i have moved onto Veronica Mars, pretty good show. No my son never used a MAC, he was always on PC and always used REVIT. Yeah, I am all over Apple now. Been an Apple guy since 1989, only reason I bought the PC was to use this program. All MAC because everything syncs, IPAD, IPHONE, IMAC, ILAPTOP and the ILYNN...... ..... and yes I am a major suck up, but nobody at CA notices......

I think the reputation points is to keep us in line. I have received a couple of negative reputation reports from my good friends JC and the Great Glenn Woodward, and I personally do not believe I deserved them. I think my answers were quite good. At the end of the year I have an appointment to meet with the CA gurus to dispute the negative reviews that I have received from my friends. I have even retained a lawyer and I am seeking civil retributions. But you know what, I still like them, I think it was their way of keeping me on my toes. Thanks guys, keep zapping me when I get out of line.

It may have been November 2005. The seminar was in my home town, San Diego, so I wasn't staying in the hotel, but I would commute home, I remember I wanted to have Mont over for dinner, I figured I could drill him for additional info til 2:00 in the morning, I never invited him over for dinner,..... Heck, if I was smarter, I would of invited everybody over and we could of had a protracted lesson.......
