4/12= manufactured homes in my mind. I try and avoid that pitch, except for the exquisite modular homes I do , because any higher wont make it under the bridges when it is on a truck but your 5:12 does look like a lot of roof. I might raise the heel hight or change the pitch over the deck so it is broken up https://www.architecturaldesigns.com/house-plans/country-house-plan-with-wraparound-porch-and-three-bedroom-suites-68660vr?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7sLrwNTI_gIVSTWtBh0VgQZDEAQYBSABEgKJwPD_BwE but I prefer gables personnaly, so take my opinion with a grain of salt you could put some skylights in there to break it up or hip the ends for less roof

my template has 4 walls in the basement, main floor and second floor. When i start a project, first thing I do is adjust those walls to match the design.

I rarely if ever change the wall in the elevation view (which is where I think this is the place it can be done) and I just started this project today which is why it was odd ...but I took a different template today (one i use for floor plans), and sure enough, that wall had it unchecked. I need a test suite for my templates I guess

weird, I dont remember changing it, thanks

anyway to get rid of this? The walls align per the align tool. the wall widths show the same. wall type is the same 172 Carringham Way NE.plan shows flat ,but you can see the little u shape might be because I changed a foundation wall to exterior wall. but if I delete the wall, draw a new wall and then align to above I get the same thing

well since the party is started, i'll throw my two cents in. I would just draw the walls wihtout concern for length, close them in, hit the auto eterior dimensions, then follow dbcooper with the correct selection of the 3 buttons when selecting the dim to change the wall length

you will need to lower your beams now to match

your subfloor is at absolute elevation 3/4", not sure if you want it that way.... It looks like your short wall height had been changed. i clicked the default. I also then adjusted the roof plane using transform replicate, adjusting the Z until the top plate was at 9'

perfect glad to see I am not the first person to have this.

And i certainly will. Eric, it sounded like you have not experienced this problem? I always think to myself, surely I am not the first person to have this issue. and in this case I would have thought every man and his dog doing outside renders would have this issue, which is why I was asking the broader question.

thanks i will try that. my broader question is, what are others doing?

the water reflection in the glass (from the backdrop) is distracting. I put some trees on the left (out of view) for the left windows. But for the right windows I have an interior camera pointing that way so I dont want trees there. I suppose I could put them on a layer. I tried adjusting the sun position but it did not seem to make a difference But is there a way to dullen the reflection? or what is everyone else doing? thanks

does it happen on both your computers?

if it was me and I had that budget I'd look at AORUS 17X AZF-B5US665SP w/ Core™ i9-13900HX, 32GB, 2TB SSD, 17.3in QHD 240Hz, GeForce RTX 4090, Wi-Fi 6E, BT, Win 11 Pro or ROG Strix SCAR 18 G834JY-XS97 w/ Core™ i9-13980HX, 32GB DDR5, Dual 1TB M.2 SSD, 18in WQXGA, RTX 4090, Wi-Fi 6E, Win 11 Pro or Stealth 17 Studio A13VI-017US w/ Core™ i9-13900H, 64GB, 2TB SSD, 17.3in QHD 240Hz, GeForce RTX 4090, Wi-Fi 6E, BT, Win 11 Pro i'd put my money int he graphics card as that is the only thing I ever see pinned

i tried to convince a truss guy to do this for my own new attached garage in order to avoid a window at the ridge. He wasnt buyng what I was selling In the end I built the walls shorter as they went towards the house. but I only needed inches not feet So if this is going to be trussed, you might want to ask the truss guy if he will build it like that .

i typically do not do brick, but I have seen this question more than once on the forum. Did you already search the forum? It helps to click on the search options and click on "all search words"

is that hose on the roof? open rafters on the left? I cant tell what going on

i find this problem occurs even when not named the same because you cannot see the full file name. I cant see "john Smith preliminary 1" and "john Smith preliminary 2". you have to hover, and if you have to hover then I suppose one could look at the directory. This is one thing I like about just copying the file as a checkpoint, it gets the ugly "Copy (x)" filename, so where i used to have the issue of editing the wrong file, it is less and less. But it is ugly

maybe there is a way to alias the plan file, so they dont appear to all have the same file name, but do. i'll do a little digging

symbolic links might help? it might be worth taking a look ...

sounds dangerous

that is discipline. as to why not, for me because you have to save and close views and the file in order to copy the directory

always for a new pdf even if it is a minor change? or do you overwrite the PDF in the directory and then send that out? or name it something else I cant copy the folder if the file is open, and I might print 3 pdfs as I am making changes and sending it to the customer, as saving and closing files takes some effort especially if I have two files open and only want to save and close one. i.e if I am working on a plan i dont want to close all the open views in order for CA to close the file, in order for me to copy the file/folder

so they look like 20230405 - 84 Howse Heights.pdf? and you manually enter the 20230405? if there are two on the same date, what do you enter?

@rene, I'm curious as to how you version PDFs to customers. do they match the folder plus a .x? totally different, manually kept track of?
