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?

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?

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.

K. I will use manual roof planes to make the returns. Thanks a bunch Ray and Eric.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong when it comes to the full roof returns on these gables. Trying to get it to return something like in the picture. Thanks!!!

YAY!!! its so rewarding when you figure something that confused you out. Edited it in notepad and I am good to go. Thanks for your great guidance!

oh I was looking through windows explorer to find it. Thanks, I will do this instead.

i cant locate the .pat file on my computer.

I was able to download Eric's but it was pure white with no lines. I also downloaded and installed Mick's and saw there was 8", 10" and 12" available. All look very nice but I need a 24" and when I try to adjust the width it makes the batten to wide. Tried to find the .pat files and edit it in notepad, but didn't have any luck finding it.

Sorry for the delayed response. Went on to another project. Thanks Eric and Mick. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have this forum with such willing and helpful people. It and you rock!!!!

Using the adjust material definition tool, I was able to change the width of the lap siding from 4" to 8" but can't seem to find a way to make board and batten 2' on center instead of 1' on center. Any ideas of what I should do?

Are you guys disabling the windows automatic updates to avoid getting the update causing reboot errors, that is update Cumulative Update KB4056892 Windows 10 v1709 Build 16299.192 which is for the Meltdown and Spectre Issues.

This is the link for the May 2017 driver for my video card: http://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownload-March2009/confirmation.php?url=/Windows/382.05/382.05-notebook-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe&lang=us&type=geforcem Here is the link to find older video card drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us

Probably the Driver has been Updated again by M$ if you didn't apply the fix I posted in Eric's Link (Post#3) to stop Driver Updates from MicroSoft. KBIRD I tried to install the May version but got the message that it isn't compatible with Windows 10 version I am using and couldn't find compatible hardware. ;( edited: Nevermind, the driver link I clicked on was for windows 8 64 bit and I needed windows 10 64 bit.

Oh no! Another one coming :(Thanks for letting me know. Will look into the links.
