Outstanding Perry!!!! thanks so much for the help!

Any easy way to get the wall siding to alternate 4" and 8" lap exposure?

OH yea!  I found it....drawing sheet icon on left of screeen.

How do I turn off page display?

Oh no, what did I do and how do I fix it.  Grey grid showing instead of the normal white grid.  I see some of the normal white grid but my drawing isn't completely in this location.

Thanks everyone!  Kyle you were very helpful and Chopsaw you got just what I was wanting to achieve.  

How do I put a concrete roof with overhang on a structure.  Using CA x10.

FANTASTIC!!  Thanks Eric!

Eric the cut ctrl/alt/v didn't work for me.  Here is the plan.

trey_minchew.plan

I have two stacked windows in the stairwell for this plan.  They both look fine from the outside of the house.  Inside, one of them has the  wall covering the window.  They are in rooms marked open below and the wall has been changed to balloon wall with no effect.  Any ideas on how I can make it look right?

I've redrawn the plane but still would like to know for next time.  Thanks!

Is it possible to close a roof opening that I decided needs to be smaller?  The opening's rectangle that shows up on the floor plan disappeared once the roof was cut.  Is redrawing the  roof plane the only way to fix the problem?

Thanks for the idea on putting it on a solid.  Will try that!

Related question.  Has CA come up with a way to align the backdrop with the height of the terrain for house plan instead of what looks like 10' below the terrain. 

Thanks a bunch for the quick response.  So nice to have folks to turn to so I can keep moving forward.

Does anyone know where they moved the backdrop options that used to be under 3d default but aren't in CA x10?

I've seen that issue as well 3ft windows get framed 30" 4ft , windows 40" etc.....  so I use a modified System like Glen showed, it won't change existing windows as noted ( new windows will ) but if setup in your Template it does..... the Label will ignore the Width and Height in the Schedule if it is in the Windows Default Properties already.

 

*note.... the Schedule Number does not show until you place a Schedule in Plan. And it will double line the Schedule if you Format the Default Label like Mine, (below) which some may not like.

 

this is in X9.....but Works in X10 too , in X10 I didn't need to add the " for Inches it does it for you.

 

 

 

 

 

Great idea.  I have trouble finding room around the windows for their labels after I use auto dimension.  I have to go back and move some of the labels so that they can be seen.  Does this ever cause you trouble?

That has happened and why I use the macros and modified font to do the superscript, with the modified fount it is nice to solve that.

How dd you modify the font for superscript? Thanks!

But when there isn't a schedule used, this is the format of the label.  Would be nice to have superscript available in a custom label default.

Joe, you were on the money, need to turn off the automatic callouts then the rest that Eric and you had me trying to do would probably work.  Glen yours worked fine for me and was a quick fix (which is all I had time for right now.).  Marc, I liked the fancy labeling you had.  Will try to get a template set up that has these features in the future.   Thanks for being such big helpers!  You guys are outstanding and much appreciated.

I tried putting in a  new window after changing the defaults as described above and  it didn't change in the drawing to show both labels.  Also, tried selecting an existing window and changing it as you mentioned. It also, didn't change in my drawing.  Thanks!

Don't know what happened  to the responses from Eric and Joe(?)   They disappeared. 

Working in CA x10.  Can you have both the schedule symbol label for the window or door and its regular label display on the plan?

Thanks Eric.  Looks like you have to select each window or door to do this?  I went to the window default wrench and changed the label there, but it didn't change the drawing.
