some engineers and interior designers ask for this from me. I just export it from CA and send it along. For the truss people, they have never asked for a DXF or DWG file. ...that said they have made mistakes more than once, but it wasnt because it wasn't dimensioned, it was just that they missed it or in one case, got an off angle wall incorrect

why do you do this, vs inside the dialog ? I enter the K1, K2 etc in the dialog and then just use the layer to control

ironically I just got tripped up by this yesterday, I have to remember, which I dont, that in order to make the stem wall rise above the floor in the attached garage, (And for the Stem wall top to to to actually show up as editable in the dialog) I need to check the room supplies floor for room above. Ironically I clicked on the help, hoping it would tell me how to get this to show up in the dialog, but I did not see it. Of course I hear people saying, just use a pony wall. Sure but that is more complicated...and I was almost to that point when I went back to check an old plan and did the old "compare the differences" excercise

I moved this wall out on the floor plan SPV, the dimensions on the roof SPV moved accordingly, but if I move the dimension and then try and get back the dimension to the main layer, it will not snap to it. Anyone seen something like this? If I delete it and then click on the auto exterior it then finds it correctly. But why doesnt it work when I manually try and snap to it? 06.04.2026_22.13.48_REC.mp4

there are a few in the core and bonus catalog, but I just checked and they have the same issue

That is an impressive set. what is 4 for this below? it says sheathing, but I think maybe the line should go across the truss to the vertical cross hatched pline? ..and a little typo "EXSPSOED" ...I do these all the time... only to find them way after I sent them out

went to white where? screenshot? the plan?

there are people that sell more advanced templates. @Renerabbitt And people that sell other types of packages @Joe_Carrick and people that have paid newsletter with tips and tricks and does custom assistance @Alaskan_Son If your office is just starting out, you might want to evaluate these types of offerings to get a head start which is consistent across all of you in the offcie

you have them in a schedule?

hmmm ive used the same toilet forever from the CA catalog, and it is at 30" wide...maybe i got lucky...or maybe it is not at 30 and ive been wrong all along!

I will use point to point to drop a marker or use a circle and point to point. I then put a text with leader line to note it is the drain rough in. If you do this before you place the fixture you should have no issue It's not ideal and perhaps others have a better way. If I have to move it I can then move the circle or the marker

that is a good tidbit, thanks

I've seen this maybe 3 times in the past year or so but cannot remember the last time. A restart of CA fixes it

this is what I do, by putting a dimension line after drawing the wall further away. then click the wall and the dimension line, and type in the dimension i want

One possibility, I had a post on something similar from a few years ago, open up the wall object, but go to the material tab, and see what is there. Sometimes CA will put a material there overriding the wall definition
