Not sure I understand this. When you refer to "underlying elements" are you referring to the sheathing beneath the siding? and if so why would this be competing as it is behind the siding? not doubting that it is, just wondering why it is. And if the siding should be 1" thick to avoid this, how does one get an accurate model as IRL siding is more like 5/8" (at least hardie board)? ...thin the sheathing to be 1/8?

ah but you are missing the other upgrade reason which will come to fruition at some point...obsolescence. Operating system,, or graphics engine dependent on video cards that switch to new technologies.

what does the above mean? you received a .plan file from the canvas people, and it has problems?

if it is just for looks, fastest might be a wall material region. although that may not look that great in a black and white elevation Did you play with the Roof cuts wall setting?

save them in a CAD detail on your template plan

"display wall widths" in the dimensions DBX makes it work Uncheck Display Wall Widths to suppress those portions of the dimension line that measure between two surfaces of the same wall. Both sides of a wall may still be located, but its width will not display. This option is checked by default for most manually drawn dimensions, but is unchecked for Interior Dimensions merci

attached from the OOTB template with wall changed to furred dimesion issue.plan

hmmm, didn't seem work, but yes they are different one was inside dimensions pulled outside. I dont remember where the other one came from what is that? also on this plan is a missing end line for dimensions: but its there in spirit when I click on it ...found the problem(the dimension showed 3 segments when there should have only been 2) with this one. it is catching the bulkhead or drywall which is 1/2" difference. If i remove the tiny 1/2" segment, it shows. Original problem remains

I've seen this before, but do not remember how to get it to show. it shows in the preview but not in the plan Has anyone else seen this, and know how to rectify it ...without drawing a new dimension line 17.05.2025_22.58.16_REC.mp4 thanks

I'm in alberta and may be able to help....but each jurisdiction will have it's own requirements for bylaw, and submissions for permits. If you already know those requirements and just need the drawings to comply, I can probably assist.

"Please do not use this Suggestions forum to report bugs. You should always contact our Technical Support department directly if you think that you have found a bug in one of our products. There you have it, although I'm not sure how the, lets call them, deficiencies in the stair tool are classified. One man's defect is another man's enhancement better to error on the cautious side and log them through support I suppose

z moving...one of the first great tidbits I learned from @solver before he left the forum

Outside of the beta program, there are two methods, tech support and the suggestions forum. If tech support is the speedier way, then CA should publish this. I will ask the question to tech support, hopefully I get an answer.

After using it for a month, I find it is quicker, and clearer as it is all right there. But I also have my own _template project I created, so I just copy that for a new project. Where before I would have to go in and link the layout to the plan. Works nice to see as built and different plan options I logged the stair problems in the suggestions area, as requested by CA.

If you have the floor plans and built the model in CA, normally I will use the TNR to move the roof in the Z direction to match existing elevations, as normally plans do not have heel height. Or if possible, rebuild the roof with different heel heights until they match, but heel height is global for the plan, so if you have different heel heights, TNR will work instead
