Thank you!!!

Hi, This is a regular issue I have. Sometimes it works fine, other times not. I have no idea why. As you can see, the dormer end wall is not showing the siding. It's not reversed and it shows fine inside. Any thoughts? thanks, George X17 gable pic.pdf dormer question.plan

Thank you everyone; this has been very helpful!

Hi, Is there a way to supress the outer layer of a wall, or roof, in elevations? My 2d elevations look too busy with cedar siding and roof shingles; I'd rather it not show, or if it does, with a much lighter line weight or light gray. thanks, George

Hi, Using Pony walls at the basement level. Normally I like to show the upper wall normal w/ the lower wall outlined. However, for the foundation guy on the foundation layout sheet he just wants to see the foundation w/out the clutter of the upper wall. I have to imagine this is doable ... can someone send me down the right path on this? thanks, george X16

Hi, I'm curious, is anyone really using material lists for pricing projects? I've played around with it intermittently for years and always come around to sense that the amount of work that would make it reliable seems intense, and then I worry that I'd put all that work in and it still won't give me the information I need, or perhaps I wouldn't trust it. And how would I keep it current? Just this morning - I tested a simple 'update material list'. In an active project, created a material list, I added the cost of concrete, updated master, saved the file, created a new blank file, made a quick box building with a foundation, created material list ... and the concrete cost did not appear. I checked the master, and the cost is there but it didn't populate in the job material list. I did click 'update from master', no luck. thoughts? thanks

Hi All, I cannot figure out why this attic wall is not building; any ideas? thanks, George X16 Townsend - 8.1.zip

Hi, More questions on this roof structure ... 1. The ridge for some reason has two extra members that bump up higher than the roof plane?? 2. Why the perpendicular blocking - seems to run a about 10'; I can't figure out why it's there. thanks, Skip Townsend - 5.3 - Copy.zip

Thank you, appreciate the effort. I wouldn't have figured that one out!

Okay, thanks. That seemed to work for me but not the first time; I had to keep moving the roof on the front and back in & out. Finally it worked. Weird. thanks, Skip

Thank you.

Hi, Any idea why the poche is not showing in the 2nd floor crossection floor framing? Thanks, Skip

Hi, I have three issues with the attached plan. I've attached the plan. 1. Roof framing - the rafters re ommitted over a part of the roof. The rafters are showing fine on another part of the same roof plane. 2. Floor blocking is not showing, thought the plywood that sits directly on top of it is showing??? 3. Why is plywood strips showing on top of all the floor joists? Thanks, Skip Townsend - 5.3 - Copy.zip
