  1. That resolved the issue. I never even noticed the edit label button at the bottom. That is huge. Thx. DB
  2. Rene, How in the world did you get it to automatically resize and abbreviate. If you look at my screenshot, my Laundry / Mud room label is to long to fit in the room. I have checked and unchecked all the boxes in the Appearance section and it still does not let me resize the text.
  3. Okay so I just got the new Beta installed and the first thing I notice is the room labels. In previous editions you would pick on the room and the room label would have a surrounding box that I could modify the label so it could be adjusted in the room. Now you pick on the room and you can barely see the pick box to move it and there is no way to modify the size any longer. What was the point of this change and is there a way to modify the room label?
  4. I don't do trusses very often and now I have a project in which we are going to do trusses. My problem is that I have drawn my roof, called out trusses with a heel height of 12" but when I frame the roof, the trusses do not show a heel. The lower cord is still sitting on the top plate with no heel. I go back and look at all the videos but they are different from X17. I also have no way of checking the box for retain manually drawn roof planes either is always wants to rebuild my custom roof planes. Am I missing something here?
  5. Once again I am sure this is a simple process, but I seem to have difficulty with this. How do I get my tails to have a 6" flush cut instead of extending below the fascia board? I do not want a subfascia.
  6. Michael, Thank you very much for the compliment. This was one of those small/big jobs that I needed to train my brain again to think outside the box. Yes the hand drawn lines are something I always like to add, as it just give that old school look that I just can't seem to get rid of. regards,
  7. Jim, That was a great help and sent me in the right direction. Thank you Chris
  8. I am trying to create a deck rail like this with a 1X4 top and bottom rail w/ 2X2 Balusters in between. Does anyone have an idea of how to create this?
  9. She wants a DWG file. I do not know what her intent is, and if I were to give her the cat file, she could use it in rub it or AutoCAD with some other designer.
  10. I have done a preliminary design and the client says it is perfect. Now she just emailed me and said she wants the CAD file ASAP. What would be your response?
  11. Alright here is a backup plan since I don't even know where plans are stored anymore with the new X17. We used to be able to save them in our own files system but where are they? Just another question I had Castlebar_2025_10_12.plan
  12. I knew I could count on you Joey... Any idea why my sill plate is not showing up and is only 3/4" gap?
  13. I am not sure what I have done to my default settings but I need your help. Some how my sill plate is not showing up when I build my framing and there is a 3/4" space below the floor framing. Secondly, it is also throwing in an 3/4" X 1-1/2" RIM JOIST at the end of the floor sheathing. I have gone through all of my preferences but just can't figure this out and I don't have the time to keep going through this for such a small job. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx.
