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.

and second question. any idea how to get the generated sky to move down? edit: I think it is the edge of the terrain causing this, so I can change that

if I move it "above" the start of the generated sky

any idea why the moon is shown like this? I think the bottom gets cutoff because that is where the generated sky starts. but the top??

and after selecting via edit area, select transform and replicate and move x or y distance

on the status bar, lower right corner. if you pan tha camera you should see it restart from 0

detached garages do not require insulation as they are unheated (95% of the time)

what might that be? we frame like this, at least that is what i have seen

a gable end truss would have zero heel as it would need room for the outlookers. but it also cant have tails so what CA draws is incorrect. but in theory if I set the overhang to 0 (or close to), one could get the lowest possible height of a building by having a zero heel height

I as well, pretty much all buildings up here have an energy heel, so to me the VSD is a value I would rareley use. The exception might be for a garage to ge the minimum height. But based on the screenshot above it shows the VSD, so one can just put that number in the heel hieght. it would be nice if it warned or did something if the specified heel height was less than the VSD.

if you are using X15 there is a denoiser in the camera setup. I generally cap the live samples as 300 and set the "denoise when complete". the white dots should go away on the bottom right in the status bar you will see the samples increasing every time you move the camera. once you hit 300 (if you set it to that). it should stop and then denise

yes makes sense now that you have explained it . Thank you it was an inateresting look, the faux stucco window

hmm, i think i pulled the wall up earlier when I had the gable roof lower ... but the default wall heights are greyed out so it must be autogenerated?? if I redraw the 2nd floor wall, then there CA creates the upper and lower wall, but then the lower wall shows as not the default wall height, and then if I check it, it goes back to being a two story wall any idea how to fix it? 694 Muirfield Cr - fe.zip

any ideas why this might happen if i pull down the wall:

This is a different case. Nothing gets selected

nvm, it is trying to match the hip, otherwise the gable would go back to eternity

looks good: move the wall:

i have seen this on x14

I would think the onus is on us although setting a default is probably wise. The truss above less the overhang is actually a legitimate truss on a gable wall

You could try extracting the file from the zip file C:\ProgramData\Chief Architect Premier X15\Referenced Files and then assigning to the billboard
