I copied the periodic poster to my user library then did the attached. 24.11.2024_21.08.05_REC.mp4

I may be late to the party here and a bit of a newbie, but cant one put a poster from the library on the wall, define the material and select the desired image(.png,.jpg...) as the texture and put the background as "Air"?

put them on different layers and then create different layersets. Although it is not quite that simple as CA will connect walls that are close together. If is just for 2d view, you can also use the room planner tools or just boxes, or lines

up to about 36" you can set the eave for that wall, and in the build roof, set the eaves to boxed with flush eave

it is a thing but not sure why, but now that you said it, maybe that is the cause.

thats what I do, until the ghosting appears on elevations, then I switch those to live (update on demand)

are you relinking through the tools menu or from the layout box. I relink in the layout box and it does NOT update the view, which actually annoys me as it just shows a white layout box

I just use the built in ones and then modify slightly then save it

if it is just cabinets and colours for different options, I will use the style pallete. It literally takes 5 seconds. If it is floor plans, I just keep a copy of the plan before I try the next change

I'm pretty sure I have seen this before as I remember clicking on different objects but the preview not updating...but I do not remember how I got it back to normal...maybe clear all the filters

well, figured it out. The two roof planes were initially auto generate, however I was modifying the one on the right for this purpose: Anyway when comparing the two roof planes, the modified one had a different fascia top height. Different by a few 16ths, but when I changed it to match the unaltered one, the ridge did not match, I then examined the roof baseline of the altered one, and it was not at the end of the top plate. I must have accidentally moved it, maybe by grabbing it instead of the roof plane. Bit that layer is not usually on, so who knows. Anyway it is fixed now by moving the baseline. It certainly was an interesting side effect, the odd framing shown above

there are also a couple ugly juliet balconies in the exterior accessories??? catalog

no shadow boards...

interesting, the definition is: When Use Special Snapping is checked, the selected roof plane's edges will automatically snap to the outside surface of walls that it may butt against. Uncheck this to prevent the roof plane from snapping to any nearby walls. There are no "Walls" in the 4 snap points I show in the video. I just tried it, I still get the same 4 snapping points even if it is unchecked. interestingly the first snap away from the designated eave length is 1-3/16" there is nothing in the roof for that my guess is it is the funky way CA decided to frame the lookout where it looks to be 3 different pieces. anyone seen that? : yup thats it: if I delte them and build all framing they return
