to fo this, select the roof planes, then click the transform replicate button, and specify a positve number for Z. But really this should just build properly without having to do that. You might want to post the plan

i think it is in build-> roof. or check the help

what is your heel height?

Do you have the dimensions of where the ceiling changes, along the walls. And the height of the peaks, and the height of the starting points of the slopes. You would need these in order to properly place the ceiling planes

btw thjat pitch over the doors looks m ore like 4:12 than 8:12. you would need to measure the peak to kinow for sure, or scale your picture

you would need to know the dimension coming from the outside wall to where it starts coming up, and how long it goes for (or the hieght at the top) but here is a quick showing of it working. your two end ceiling planes need to be equal parts (they looked to be off an inch). Then the ceiling plane to the right (I redrew)Bedroom.plan needs to be raised/lowered to the meet the ridge of the other 2 using transform replicate in the Z direction anyway the attached altered plan can hopefully get you going

Probably post the plan

i had the opposite problem earlier this year. drywall was showing on the outside. CA had altered the materials without telling me. check thew materials in the wall specification the other thing to check is to ensure you have a "room" formed by the extrior walls sometimes I find the basement wall gets extended to the roof, and there is actually no room on the main floor.

When you change the layout box width or height it moves the label with it, so the label is constantly getting moved The underlining problem for me is the terrain. I would like to clip to 6 feet of terrain. But I need the terrain beyond 6 feet for the pbr camera

did you log a ticket? I'm curious as to what CA would respond with

What do you do after you export them? I read in anothe post that someone was using the same jpg filenames between projects, so they could link the files back to layout easily.. or are you using some third party program to print the jpeg files? how does that work in terms of describing what the picture is? I'm more or less happy with the PBR box in layout, but annoyed that I have to print ARCH D pdf size in order to get a decent resolution. I think it is faster to export images and link them to layout, but jeez, kind of defeats the purpose of sending the camera to layout..so I have been holding out doing it (i.e. too lazy, happier to watch the paint dry while printing to pdf)

a somewhat related question, are you printing(save to PDF) to ARCH D. I ask because if I print to ARCH D vs Tabloid, it takes probably 10 times as long (each PBR camera takes awhile), and if printing to tabloid, the PBR cameras are not crispy on the PDF. so wondering how long it takes you to print 10 to 30 caemra shots? or are they all standard and no PBR?

click on the suppres then add leading text

maybe post a video. as well make sure your active defaults show the new default: (on the right below)

it sounds like you only have one dimension default and you are changing it, and both plan views are using the same one if that is the case you should probably create a new dimension default set and save it to your new view. my roof view: my floor view

got it, so in this case, when it fell back to doing rafters, it did not do it properly. I will send in a ticket. And for context in case someone is asking why not change the defaults to rafters, the use case is the main house has trusses, but this sunroom addition would have rafters. So the plan defaults would likely be trusses

i'm confused now. Where did i tell it to do rafters? the roof dbx shows trusses

thanks, I didnt think it was trusses because when i clicked on the member in cross section, it said it was a rafter: but the roof dbx shows it as trusses any idea why it would show rafters? you can even see the rafter tail generated in the section

i've seen this done here, permitted and inspected, no issues. The guy went to the sawmill and picked it up. And rough cut 6x6 are sold at the local lumber store on the west coast.

attached 172 Carringham Way NE2.plan

any idea why it frames like this. nothing is holding up the rafters even if i make it 22.5x48, it still does it and if i move the skylight down, it does this

did you try a note schedule?

I'm always changing the layout box width for the same reason. One thing which might make it one step less would be to use contruction lines drawn in plan view, as they show up in elevation. so you could reduce the width of the layout to just inside the contruction lines in layout, rather than drawing clip lines on your elevation. because if you had a rectangular lot, they could be used for both front and rear elevations. Unless of course you do not actually use clip lines today( I do not, I sit there and approximate). I used to use CAD lines in layout to line things up, but becuase of the different sizes of buildings it seems like I was always moving them around

yes that works, although it produces some pretty odd shapes for the moon...that I have never seen. anyway turns out if I have the moon that low the shadows are too long, and make the terrain look grey. the btter shawdow look is the moon above..which then does not show in the picture. which is fine in the end I think. it was more for a "pretty picture"

ok, I can get rid of the cup by changing the tilt angle, but then it is waayyy up there.
