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.

Working on a project in X8. Not a super complicated terrain, but there was a bit of info..... anyway, the terrain behaves as I think it should. Has anybody else noticed that the terrain behaves better in X8?

I ran into this problem last week. I do not know how to do it via the dbx. You can do it with custom mutins.

Yes, you are correct, I misspoke, .......... bottom line the headers and their labels should show on the framing plan and we should have control how they appear. Gosh, how does everybody else handle this. Do you have to draw a line to represent the header? This is stupid. The header is there, why can't there be a way that I can choose how to display the header.

I wonder how long we will have to wait for this? This kind of stuff is no-brainer stuff. We do it on every plan. Why can't this be automatic? Window labels on the floor plan. Window header label on framing plan. I do this on every single plan that I have worked on for the past 35 years. CA already builds the header ( a default size). Why can't we control the size of the header via the window dvx. Why can't the header size show on framing plan. Why can't I control the line weight and style of the header in framing plan? It's there, why do I have to provide a line to represent the header. Every single door and window will have some sort of header. Why can't the header show up on the framing plan? This is the kind of feature that I assume is relatively easy to provide but it would be a game changer for me.

No issues.
