I was thinking of you when I made my previous comment. I am not sure what the mystery is, the current driveway tools are lacking.

I think we all get this, but the question is, can you break a curb with a terrain feature. So for me there are two issues: 1- how do we reshape a driveway/driveway apron and have it break the curb to create a curb cut 2- why can't we choose a curved curb cut or an angled curb cut.

I get this, but for some reason the roof overhang I was using in my example actually went over the deck. Point is, some inconsistencies.

This is a great question without a good answer. I do not know why we can't do this. I think I first asked for this about 10 years ago.

This is such a great question. I think there are many ways to handle this. I do not call it a furred wall, I call that wall NO ROOM DEF. How should we do it? Define the wall as a furred wall or a non room def? I do not know. Why would I define the plumbing wall as either non room def or furr wall, I do not know. Michael if he has time might want to explore the different options, or I will if I find the time. Good question Mon Cherie.

Yep, their plan is perfect except they want to change a door swing, 3 hours later, it is a different plan.

I can show roof planes separate from overhangs. So you are missing something. However, when I think of a roof overhang, I think it is from fascia to exterior wall, that is not what I am seeing. Red dashed is the Overhang, Blue dash is the roof eaves, Roof overhangs are still useless to me unless someone can explain them to me,

It's tempting, but I ain't gonna bite on this one. You win Joey, you are the smartest man.

Folks like Michael "The Alaskan Son" spend a lot of his time helping out newbies and experienced folks. Thank you Michael for all of the help you have provided. You are a great asset. If you ever want to call me a nitwit for not posting a plan, do so, I will welcome your assistance at the cost of being berated. One final note, if a plan had been posted, the OP would of probably received some very clear guidance along with a video to further explain the process instead of 4 lines that even an experienced user would have problems understanding. Keep up the good work Michael.

So it cannot be done on a roof plane by roof plane basis? Is that what we want?

I do not understand why that is so. We should be able to change the orientation of the blocking after the roof has been built. If I am not mistaken, I have requested this in the past.

Allen, if you would like I will do a go to meeting with you and we can probably work it out in less than one hour working together. Your call.

Good stuff Michael, thanks.

At one time it was "5'-0" TO DAYLIGHT" it is now "MINIUM 7'-0" TO DAYLIGHT" what this means is if you were to project a horizontal line from the bottom of the footing to "daylight", the distance must be at least 7'-0". I would bet Perry and Joe and Larry would confirm this.

No nothing new, I will skip vid.

I will do a vid, I would appreciate a critique, must go now, I will try to do it this afternoon, I think this will be a good vid.

Yeah, that is what I would of thought, I spent 3.6 seconds and could not do it, I will spend 5.7 seconds next time and I am sure I will get it. JPC, let me do a vid, I discovered a new way of doing that stuff.... manually.... as manual as I can do it but it is using existing tools.... easy peasy... may not be as fast as Glenn, but I do remodels and I must do them manually.....

Interesting, I had never thought of that. I tried it, it did not work for a mono slab. BTW, I do not know what a FOUNDATION PANEL is...... I have learned to never question Glenn's knowledge, but I could not do it. I do my foundations manually, more control and easier for me. There are multiple ways to do what the OP wants. If I get a chance, I will do a vid of the method I would use.

Yes, or you can have a floor and delete all layers so it has no structure. So I think there are 3 ways to achieve the same thing. So what are the advantages of one method over the other?

try this video it's old but I think it holds up

ditto

BTW, I would of built those members out of psolids, I would not of used ceiling joists.

i can confirm your results. I cannot see the ceiling joists in wall elevation either. I rarely if ever use the wall elevation camera. I wonder if this is inherent to the wall elevation camera...... not being able to see the framing..... interesting.

I sure wish you would post this plan so we can review this. Either you are doing something wrong or there is a bug. Let's find out what the problem is, please post the plan, it will benefit all of us.
