  1. the chase around the elevations problem. I've had it many times ...from what I remember Possible Issue 1: I find that if your entire basement is not at the same elevation and ceiling heights, then any rooms that you try and make different, must have a corresponding room on the main floor with the main floor walls over top of the basement walls Issue 2: Set the absolute elevations, then set the stem wall. or post a video of the issue, and/or the plan
  2. does the material list not work for siding? i did a quick test on a wall with a garage door and it appears to work
  3. What are you having issues with? I make the stairwell a room (ensiure the floor level is where you want it to be and ceiling just above grade), add the stairs, make the stair material all concrete, set overhang to 0. and i ignore that proper concrete steps have a sloping riser i draw a railing on the floor above to match make a terrain hole if you have to
  4. Curious... did you take the pictures for hover? Are the footprint and window dimensions accurate?
  5. I make mine using the stock cabinet, delete the door, add drawers .. but I've had the same question as to why not al ready there
  6. Not sure what you are trying to accomplish with polylines. What polylines are you referring to
  7. Copy paste hold position if you want it to show up in the same place
  8. did you check the wall settings vs the OOTB template plan ...almost looks like balloon framing with two different wall types. you could try checking that:
  9. i have the basement on level 0. I also have the basement walls in my template on level 0. I manually align the walls to the main floor, rather than use the auto build foundation. unless of course I am doing nothing in the basement, then I will delete the foundation and turn on auto foundation
  10. one suggestion, try rebuilding the "all" framing.
  11. After doing a very time consuming property mostly due to the many rooflines, I went looking again for scanning apps that could help. iGuide now does elevations. I had a session today with one of their people. iGuide has their own camera similar to matteport. the iGuide one is currently on sale for $1800 USD. https://store.goiguide.com/. It also works outside. The interesting thing is the price and time it takes to scan. It is 8 sec per scan. A 2000 sq ft house could then be done in under 30 min plus the exterior. The price for a 2000sq ft house, floor plans and elevations in DWG is $225 CAD (~150USD). No subscription. You also get the visual tour included, so then one does not have to take their own video https://goiguide.com/pricing Seems pretty good. I think one would still have to take laser measurements for crucial areas Has anyone tried iGuide? I'm curious to know how good their elevations are in real life where there is only 8ft between houses with bushes and sheds. They did tell me they have humans doing the elevations and floor plans, and they show both the point cloud(below) and the elevation in the pdf package they give you. It also gives you a (inaccurate) listing of windows and doors. i.e. doors were listed at 6'7, 6'8, 6'9. I don't think i really care except for the door widths as I typically dont specify height for doors. Window guys always come and measure the windows themselves so that does not have to be accurate.
  12. I'm curious, do you dimension the man door and overhead door foundation cutout(buck as known here)? Overhead doors here will get a 16'4 or larger cutout for a 16' door. From what I have seen on plans, these do not ever get dimensioned, or at least not that I have seen
  13. 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
