It has not been a problem for me.

You are looking for help, just post the plan for him to make it easy for him to help you. Post a small plan, make it easy on yourself.

I thought they made an announcement that we could sign up for beta if interested.

Great job Dave.... as usual

I do not think it was I.

Deja vu

Let me see if I can really start you thinking. Draw a big room. Build a 8:12 roof with 2x16 rafters in correct location at a wall. Build a 8:12 roof with 2x12 rafters in correct location at a wall. Build a 8:12 roof with TRUSSES in correct location at a wall. Now compare the different base line heights. and review this: Use the Reference Manual. I've mentioned this to you in other posts. It will explain so much, with pictures! Begin on page 788. Here is the link: X10 Reference Manual. When you can explain why the baseline heights are all different, you will understand the importance of the base line. BTW, I no longer see the POST NUMBER for a particular thread....

Thank you my friend, now will you please return our Chargers? Rams 11-3 & Chargers 11-3, you folks up in LA are having a very good year. It may be an all L.A. Super Bowl...... I hope I didn't jinx you guys.

and I usually put the exterior stairs on it's own layer so they can show. on site plan if I turn the layer on.

show it with a ref set

Of course, not sure what I was thinking, thx in a working set I also make baseline line weight very heavy to help identify.

hmmmm.... not sure about that..... can I see a pic of a roof plane selected with a green color fill & a base line color of red?

Yes Steve, this is understood.

Hi Michael, you requested ..... "please post fascia problem example". here is it and if anybody has more examples, please pile on. bbbb removec fascias.plan

I think there is a similar pattern in the CA CUSTOM library. It would be super if the material could generate its's own. pattern.

I do not think you are correct. On level 1 you define the ceiling for level 1 and floor for level 1. On level 2 you will set the floor and ceiling for level 2. I believe I am correct unless I am missing something. If you are trying to define the floor for level 2, you must be on level 2.

It looks like you are do8ng default settings for first floor, try second flooor or post plan

just post your plan and someone will help you within an hour.

Mick, I am playing with using 3 different framing schedules. One for headers and beams, one for ceiling joists and rafters and one for wall framing. I put them in CAD detail. I have noticed that when dealing with the CAD detail with the 3 schedules it is getting very slow. would you concur and do you think this will slow down THE PLAN?

Still working on it, but the framing schedule might be the way to go.

thanks, I will, maybe tomorrow from 6 & 9? I have a client who will be here..... this is for him. Let me know what time works for you. I will be on the clock.

I really need it for the new, right now I am getting all studs listed. I suppose the new walls can be designed to use metal Studs or no studs or......... maybe the existing can be tricked into using LVL lumber maybe....... but if I leave out the studs in existing walls, then my sections will be incorrect as well as my framing overviews. I wonder why we shouldn't be able to have new studs and existing studs. '

The same cross section size is the same, The height is irrelevant. In fact I need to make a 2x4 at least about 1" larger for it to recognize it as different material. IOW, a 1-1/2"x3-1/2" stud and a 1-3/4"x3-1/2" stud will show up the same in the material list..... ( I think). A 1-1/2"x3-1/2" will show differently to a 2-1/4"x3-1/2". (sorry for not converting to metric) The reason I ask is I would like to be able to identify in a material list the new studs and existing studs. I did copy the 2X4 STUD FIR @ 16" OC material and called it 2X4 STUD FIR @ 16" OC NEW and changed the color so I could visually see the new studs and existing studs. BUT!!!!!! The two different materials do not show up differently in the material list. BTW, I think the guys in the south east use SOUTHERN YELLOW PINE, do they have to change the name to that from FIR? So again, the purpose is to have a list of new studs and a list of existing studs for remodels. In this picture you can visually discern the new from existing studs but this will not be reflected in the material list.

Is it possible to frame a wall with fir framing #1 and copy that material, give it a different color and call it fir framing #2 and then find both materials in the material list. i do have two different stud materials but they do not show up differently 8n the material list. What am I missing? thx
