  1. This works well, with some back and forth to get correct heights. Attached is a video with a step by step, sorry no audio, for a railing on a pony wall. I have to "undo" a few times to try and get it the distances right. The 0.5" for the railing is larger than reality, I picked it more to show up in the RTRT than any other reason I did use a "molding line" vs a molding polyline as the polyline is initially drawn enclosed. Menus are X16. One seems to have to use the cntrl key to place the molding line in the middle of the rail. 15.05.2024_12.55.03_REC.mp4
  2. ah I remembered there was some workaround and I just could not remember what it was. thanks for pointing it out
  3. If I delete the wall and then redraw, it then looks normal maybe it was a victim of that wall being reversed earlier, and then I use the reverse tool to make the wall look correct and then this happens. of course, its not repeatable: If I reverse the new wall I just drew, and then reverse again, it doesnt happen. ...maybe it was something else...
  4. is there some setting to stop this? It does not do it at the other end of the railing. (its a pony wall underneath, but if I make it just a railing it does the same thing, just narrower) I tried the edit intersections tool, no luck. I tried changing the one wall to be the through wall, no difference
  5. not sure, this works for me on a regular basis. you could post your plan and layout My settings:
  6. probably want to post the plan . also search for "roof cuts wall" in the forum
  7. One reason perhaps not to put schedules beside the floor plan, is it might impact the zoom to extents. I have them on a cad detail page which is on a layout page already linked to it. I do sometimes put a wall schedule below a plan but they are typically less than 5 rows
  8. What is in your text style
  9. correct. One can hope it comes in X16
  10. I dont think so, normally I will select the "minority" roof plans and use transform replicate to lower them using the z adjust
  11. If you search the forum for risers stairs macro and make sure you select to search all terms you will find a few. Doug n posted the following . I'm not sure if you will need one for each stair section In plan view you can attach test to the stairs and use a macro like %num_treads+1% Risers Run %tread_depth%" Rise %riser_height.round(2)%"
  12. Might want to post the plan. If they are directly under the walls, and you never manually drew them they may be footings.
  13. There are free viewers. I had one a few years ago. A search on the interweb for dwg free viewer will find them I think the one I had was actually from autocadd, trueviewer or something like that
  14. are you on the right floor?. set the layer set to "all layers on" and move between floors
  15. i have my schedules in a CAD detail in my template plan, and a layout box linked to them on my template layout. It all works with no resending. the only time i have to touch them is to move the schedules around due to space. oh and when I create a new layout template, i dont delete the links
  16. You can use the software on any number of computers with one key. you just cant use the software on them at the same time Are you asking if the plans you are working on get moved between your computers? If so, the answer is no. You would need to move them, or use an external USB drive or cloud service. If you search this forum for onedrive, dropbox, cloud you will see how people are managing files. I personally use a couple different computers, but one primarily, and use an external drive when I have to use the other one. But others on here have more sophisticated methods
  17. got me, looks like the roof was raised ~4 inches, and the wall moved in 2 inches and left a piece of the soffit there. or it is a ceiling plane poking through
  18. I typically will do black and white to avoid this or a back clipped xsection
  19. that is interesting, I would submit that to CA, one would think the available DPI would not be contingent on layout vs plan
  20. my guess is there is more than one trigger as i never, at least not consciously, delete the living area label.
  21. you could also reduce the sunlight intensity to 1500. I think the default is 100 000
