I must have accidentally turned something off. There is normally a red x that will appear when I am trying to align two walls on my floor plan. It would appear when I would grab one wall and drag it towards the other wall. Can anyone tell me how to turn it back on again? The picture shows a red x that I drew in to show what it used to look like. Thanks!!!

Thanks guys. I have given your feedback to the builder.

This is what I ended up doing. 1. I drew foundation for whole house as crawl space and built the floor framing. 2. selected the areas that were existing carport and shop and made those areas "floor suppled by room above, retain floor framing. also made them monolithic. 3. selected original part of house and made its floor "supplied by foundation room below". 4. Rebuilt foundation as stem wall with the option "slab at top of wall" selected. This seemed to work well enough for my purposes.

Can anyone give me a hint on how they would go about using CA functions to build a raised floor over an exiting carport. The carport slab is 24 inches below the F.F.E of the house. There is an enclosed shop at the other end of the carport (all of this is under the same roof). Its slab is 20" lower than the F.F.E. The owner is wanting to build a raised crawlspace over the carport slab that will bring it up to the house level. he is going to change this area to a master bedroom suite. Thanks!

Good idea. And I am guessing that I could use a curved roof plane,. I think I saw those in the available choices. BTW, love the adorable light house,,!

Anyone come across this and have an answer. I guess I could always fudge it with a polyline solid, but thought I'd check to see if there was a way to do it with actual walls

I turned off the trim against wall on the stairs. May be able to proceed from here.

Hmmm, created a new wall type by copying existing and renaming it interior wall 6" , then I created a new normal wall layer and named it normal wall stair. Turned off normal wall stair and have the stringer showing blocking the view. Tried to turn it off on the stringers, but it is already off.

Seems like a good idea. And I could keep the wall style pretty much the same, just copy and change the layer name.

No I can ctrl x and cut doors, etc but I can't cut a wall they are selected.

Ryan, Thanks for this. Only problem I am having is the CTRL+X of the walls. I select them with the shift key so that I get all 3 levels, but they won't cut so that I can paste them later. They can be deleted and that gives me a view to send to CAD detail, but the detail is deleted when I do CTRL+Z to undo everything. With CA being such an awesome software, seems like this should be so much easier.

Seems like I knew this, but now I don't. I want to see the flights that are hidden by the walls. I know I can make the walls invisible, but then i have to go back and change them back and remember to not refresh the view. Any suggestions?

Oh, didn't think of that. Thanks!

David is there a way to get it so I can edit the manufacture's door? I haven't been able to before but thought I would check to see if you found a way.

Thank you so much. I would prefer to keep working in x12 on this project until I build a bit more trust in x13.

Wonderful! Thanks, I will check it out.

Looks wonderful. looks like I need to move over to X13. I have it but have noticed it crashing and my work not being saved, so I move back to x12.

Hmm. not sure how that happened. I thought I only submitted it once. Sorry!

Anyone seen something like these available. The garage door is a Wayne Dalton, but not in their 2021 bonus library. Not sure about the entry door.

I know I ran across this before, but don't remember the fix. What do I need to do to make the layout elevations print darker? It is printing the elevations too light. . The floor plan does fine.

In my area at least, standard exterior doors and windows are measured to the center of the opening with the exception of the garage doors which are measured to the sides of the door. This is what I was hoping to automate, but I have a feeling something has to be set at the symbol level telling the software to dimension to the side. Foundations would dimension to the rough opening of the garage door. I have to do this manually now, not a big deal, but would be nice if it was automated.

Is there any way to automatically dimension garage doors to outside of doors while dimensioning other openings to center?

Nevermind.... Found it

Are they moved to another location?
