Should add that I am using X16 not the X12 in my handle above

Hello All I've been playing with 3D solids and have been getting weird results. In particular with cylinders. If I have a long narrow cylinder and want to subtract a portion of it using a cube the result is a strange shaped cylinder. I've attached a file showing what I mean. Is there a way to avoid the weirdness (Not sure how else to explain it)? I tried to attach the plan file but all I got were server errors. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone, I'll give these a shot.

Is there a way to do a house foundation that is a slab-on-grade with a frost wall? I've attached a section I grabbed online that shows what the client wants. There is probably an easy way to layout that foundation but I haven't figured it out yet. Anyway, I appreciate any help. Thanks for your time

Hello All, I have a two story project with an open to above living area. There is a tall window that extends to the second floor. Is there a way for the window to show up on the first floor plans and the second floor plan?

Thanks for your reply Renerabbitt I tried to post the plan file but it was too big. I ended up just starting from scratch. Not ideal, but it wasn't a large project.

Hello All, Just looking for a bit of advice. I have an existing two story house w/ two car garage that has a full basement (under the house only). The client would like to change the basement to a slab on grade with 4' frost wall (attached a section of the type of foundation they'd like). There is a porch and deck. The garage floor is 24" below the main floor (I changed this to 12" for the slab, can be changed to whatever it needs to be to work). When I try to rebuild the foundation to this type I get lots of issues. The floor is 12" below the top of the stem wall in the house as well as the garage. There are other issues with heights of the rooms. The porch and deck floors are over 18" above the main floor level. Probably should be slabs as well? Anyway, would it make sense to start from scratch? I don't want to mess up the drawing too much. Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, I removed the frame.

Is there a way to have a different colour for the window jamb than the sash? I have a project where the interior walls (also drywall return, no interior window casing) are white and the windows are black. The client wants the white drywall to continue to the sash so the jamb (is that what it's called) needs to be white as well. Problem is, when I change the colour of the sash to black the jamb is automatically changed to black as well. This is an odd wall, it's tall so was designed to be 2"x10" instead of the typical 2"x6" so the jamb is extra wide and really stand out when it's black. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello all, Is there a way to show this roof to wall waterfall type effect? I can do the roof and the wall separately but its the point at which the roof transitions to the wall. I can't seem to get a smooth transition. I appreciate any help offered.

Thanks Doug, the cross section slider works great. Thanks everyone for responding.

Wondering if there is a way to clip the exterior or even the interior walls horizontally in the orthographic floor overview? For example, would it be possible to show the exterior walls at, say, 3' tall? I know you can hide the exterior walls facing the camera, Just wondering if we can show the walls shorter instead (included the windows and doors) Thanks for any help.

Sorry, wasn't clear...my question was about a way to easily position one on each step.

Hello All, Have a client that wants LED strips under the bullnose of the stair treads and along the underside of the railing. Is there a way to do that besides adding each one by hand? Any help would be appreciated.

That was my fear. Thanks for your quick responses Chopsaw and Ben. Luckily the project is in it's infancy and will not take much time to recreate in X13. Was hoping to save a couple hours though.
