I use a dim with no line and a polyline to do somethimg similar. I do it for parking dimensions superimposed on a survey. I keep them in my template plan for easy copying and pasting. As 24.07.2024_13.49.20_REC.mp4 I change the length or width of the polyline the dim value changes with it. I havent tried it with a line, but you could just use a polyline with a fill and mke it look like a line...similar to what I show in the video

I have seen CA do this unexpectedly, but only for an outside wall. I posted the issue last year. I did not do any wall spray painting. It seemed to occur under the condition of breaking an exterior wall, and then drawing in a new one. For instance, creating a bump in/out. If you go to the materials on that wall you will likely see the errant material. You can just remove it or set it to the default I put in a request to CA that if they are going to change the material, to show a message box informing the user

thanks, now I do not have to report!

not sure the look you are looking for here, but perhaps a Wall material region?

on a related note this also happens if you copy from a CAD detail in your project browser that has a dimension in it, along with text I can highlight a dimension and a polyline and copy to a plan view, but I cannot highlight a dimension and text and copy to the plan view. only the dimension comes across. But if I select the text and copy I can paste it to the plan view. I fI select all three, copy and paste in a plan view only the dimension and polyline paste. I have to go back and copy the text

np, I had to to something similar just two weeks ago (without the garage lower eave) so it is fresh in my mind

if you do not care about how the soffit looks, you can set the eave widths to the correct amounts for each wall, and build the roofs with same height eaves, and then adjust what is presumably the garage at the end? From your picture, t looks like the backside of the garage has a lower roof (ridgeline is not same height. across entire structure). Below was all auto done but if you want to lower the garage roof eave I believe it it would need to be manually lowered via the roof plane TNR with negative Z I find this setting a little finicky to use as the eave width in the build roof dialog has to be a certain number to work correctly and then once working it can be set to anything. I've seen this a couple times. Its weird Check Same Height Eaves to keep the eave height for all roof planes the same. Roof planes are raised and lowered as needed so that eaves meet correctly. The eave height used when this box is checked is that of a roof plane using the default Pitch and Overhang values. When this box is checked, all roof planes are affected, including those that do not need adjustment in order to align with adjacent planes. When Same Height Eaves is checked, any non-default overhang values specified in the Wall Specification dialog are used. Roof planes are raised or lowered so that the eave height is the same, regardless of the horizontal overhang. eave (flat then pitched):

You are also losing your posts. Maybe post the plan and a video 9f what you are doing. Although I would try moving the deck railing wall in or out to see if anything changes. It might not be related to the railing

am i missing something or has it always been that way? ortho: back clipped up the hill: down the hill: I'm looking to show the terrain at the camera (my terrain is 2" thick) as the grade line, and perhaps also show at the end of the back clip... if I dont back clip it, it looks to show the grade at the far end of the terrain, which isnt what I want either. interestingly it will show the terrain line against a wall, so I suppose I could put in some sort of transparent solid at my camera...not ideal thanks backclip.plan OOTB plan attached

this works pretty good for sloped the other way as well. but need to set the eave as square not plumb plumb: square

if the permit is for finishing a basement, and there are walls being erected they do count here, ie. if I am finishing a basement and leaving a bedroom "unfinished" it would count If it is for an addition to a basement it counts. The permitting department here has their own rules on calculating sq footage, nothing to do with any standard.

depends on who is asking. The jurisdiction here is to the outside of the outside wall (studs but could be sheathing, no one really asks). Realtors have a different definition. Surveyors here measure to the foundation.

your, what looks to be air gap, between the foundation and the furred wall, also goes to the top where the CA example does not. If I were you I would look at the wall definition between your wall and an OOTB residential template for a foundation wall

what you have done is exactly what I do, I also have a 3/16 scale But what I do not do is have an SPV for each. If I need to change the default set, I will change it, then save the SPV associated with it. This means the same SPV in different plans will have different scales, which is fine with me. I considered a new template for each per rene, but came to the conclusion that is too much work to maintain

I get RTRT on my 3080 finished in a couple seconds on X15 (capped at 50 samples, denoised). it runs at about 50 samples per second on X16 with samples set at 500 and denoise on with my laptop 4090 (which is more like a 4080), it takes about 3 seconds
