  1. I normally put the beam on the main floor. I would normally try a railing for this using post to beam option and ensure it encloses a room. And ensure the room is a deck or porch..looks like deck in your case I would put in a set of stairs which would break the railing. It looks like you are close except the beam and stairs? I'm not sure what that random 2' of siding is on the post, I've seen a couple videos on building "covered porches" including one by snestor which, if you havent watched them, might be worthwhile
  2. potato potahto I think. For my plans I will sometimes need to add layers or layer sets that are one offs, and would be clutter for every plan. If I add a new layer I think will be useful, I will add it back to the template, same with default sets. And to be honest sometimes I am lazy working with current plans where I will draw dimensions using one set and then decide they are to big or small, and then I just change the text height, which means the dim set is no longer what it was intended to be. If I used my latest plan as the next template, I would either have to revert that or live with the inconsistency, which may bite me later. I try and keep notes for stuff I want to update on my template. But my template also has 4 walls on the main floor, and a basement, and two terrain regions, and .... stuff that I want to be there for the next plan. IF you use the current plan which may for instance have to have had 6 terrain regions, then you would have to delete them for a flat lot plan, or set them all to the same elevation. Its work either way
  3. at a minimum turn on invisible walls and remove them. I've been caught by this a couple times
  4. I turn on all layers, and delete things I dont need
  5. he has a different ceiling height
  6. I redrew the invisible wall
  7. what happens when you add an elevation region? or how exactly are you "trying to add"?
  8. i run into this all the time. I use center object like db says, in both directions. I start with one cabinet for the first top row, then the next cabinet on the lower row, move the this unit it bumps up to the one above, then center it on the one above. then add another cabinet to top row, move it unit it bumps to the first cabinet, then center on the the first cabinet. rinse repeat or you can probably use the multiple copy tool once you have the first two set
  9. NVM, its because the closet room still had the floor 10" higher
  10. I adjusted the floor structure in this basement to be lower, and then the door no longer is at the floor. I tired deleting the door and readding, but it does not move. I suppose I could change to absolute elevation and force it, but that seems like a workaround. Anyone seen this before?
  11. probably need to post the plan. it looks like it is balloon framing. you should also just screenshot, rather than make people download a pdf to see the problem
  12. neither are cabinets, but auto rebuild stays on for them, same with stairs, same with arch objects....
  13. adjust the sunlight, toggle the sunlight to on, then click move sun and sweep your mouse holding the left mouse down accross the screen
  14. i just did one yesterday. is the room a "garage". attached garage walls here are typicallyy12" or so concrete above grade(plus below grade frost walls), so there always needs to be a cutout I did have the room below on the foundation set to be a crawlspace...which did not work. Changed it to garage and it worked
