That is my rule of thumb. I have started using 2x14 in lieu of the lvl's, my clientele are not as wealthy as Alan's clientele.

That has been my argument since day 1.

You are seeing the same thing in both views. You are looking at the wood top plates. The white areas is the top of your room crown molding. Again, I think both views are showing the same thing, I believe you are not looking at it correctly.

always post your plan for a quick and accurate answer.

There are some folks that do not like to share. I do not understand it either. I learned from a client of mine who was alway willing to share his knowledge with his competitors. He believed by sharing, he would be rewarded in spades. A valuable lesson he taught me. I have found this to be true.

Thanks guys, I finally got it. Some years I am a little slow on the uptake.

Would it be possible to show a picture of the macro with Joe's fix shown and a pic of where I am to find this macro? Thanks.

LOL, I am going through this now with a site analysis of pervious and impervious areas. I do not need any decimal spaces, I am not a mechanical engineer. The closest tolerance I am expected is to the whole number.

I don't get it either.

...... Joe, I wish I new how to do what you are recommending, but I don't. i am not a programmer and I do not have time to learn. I am looking for the answer. I would like to hire you in about 2 weeks to get this crap worked out and then I will share in a video with others. I wish the designers and the programmers could stick to what they do best.

Does anybody know how to limit the decimal spaces for areas? I am not sure if my landscaper needs to put in 326.3468524 s.f. of sod. I think 330 sf would be accurate enough. bbb minimize decimal numbers 1.plan

If you don't post a plan, I ain't guessing and I doubt there are too many others who will spend their valuable time guessing to help you solve your problem. Please post your current plan.

I bet you need to rebuild framing. I ALWAYS HAVE AUTO FRAMING ON.

You have an object in the hinterlands. Turn all layers on, then do a select all for each level, you will find that you have something located in Mumbai. Delete that object and then the overview camera will behave.

I too have been asking for this for a long time. And while I am at it, I would like to define the down hill fascia at square cut and the up hill fascia as plumb cut...... think shed roofs.

I gave it a go, I could not do it. Corners windows are not working except in a few limited situations.

If you fix and build the way I would do it, I will take a closer look. I do not know what the problem with the window walls are. In regards to the corner post, I have done videos on this... somewhere.... bottom line, instead of using a DOOR on either side of post, use a window opening and UNCHECK HAS CORNER POST. Why this is an option with WINDOWS and not DOOR OPENINGS, is a mystery to me. This UNCHECK HAS CORNER POST was a great solution for this type of situation, but CA did not carry it far enough..... we need to be able to UNCHECK HAS CORNER POST for DOORS, as we have the option for WINDOWS. The reason we need it for doors as we already have it for windows is because it will then read correctly in plan view. As it is now, if you use a window for the corner situation, you get unwanted lines in plan view at the sill..... i do not want the sill to show in plan view.

Here is a vid on how I would build a tilt up wall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKAB3swi4Jo&feature=youtu.be Good vid.

So you did not open his plan. No problem, I was just wondering if I missed something.

Joe, Larry was not using windows... was he?

Heck, the real question is why does Larry's railing wall leave such a mess? Hasn't anybody sent this in to be fixed, ( I have not because I use a different method). But seriously, why is Larry's railing screwing up the stucco below?

You know, this is CA 101. Why is Larry asking this question? Why don't we know how to handle this without question ? I am not knocking Larry, I am just asking why he even needs to ask such a basic question. We do this all the time. I have my method, but is it the one everybody else uses? I will be very interested in finding out how others handle this situation. Thank you Larry for asking the question.

I would be interested in finding out how others deal with this. My choice would be one wall type, put in a door opening, and then use any number of options to build the railing. Larry has a wall, then a railing, then a wall, then a railing then a wall......

BTW, I like your AC unit (3701 faces, shown on right) The AC unit on left from CA library has 9504 faces, lots of faces, the one in the middle is also from CA library, 62 faces..... something to think about. Does anybody have any input on when there are too many faces for a symbol?

I don't know what you did wrong, but paint wall to match siding and all is well, and then copy bad wall and move 2' to side, delete bad wall and move copied wall back where bad wall was and all will be good. What you did wrong, I do not know.
