I have sent you a possible solution

I run into this all the time, and then I remember I must change the absolute elevations. which is unfortunate because then you have to do math, although the ability to just type in +1' next to the current number helps

normally after I send this to layout, I will crop the lefthand side in layout

not sure I understand, if a normal layout has say 10 pages, and each has a page title such as front elevation, rear elevation, etc, you want 10 different PDFs, each with a filename of the page layout tittle? front elevation.pdf, rear elevation.pdf etc Assuming there is a utility to create individual pdfs from a single pdf (probably comes out as page 1, page 2, etc and then you need to change the filename), then yes I believe this could be done with some scripting

maybe post the plan and what you want the ceiling height to be

other tip, create a cross section perpedicular to the celing break line. you will then see the problem (turn all layers on in the x section). could be old rafter tail coming down or some other framing. I've seen this situation where I create a roof, and then move the walls (if auto rebuild roofs is off)

I find it useful for as builts as it sets a marker. then you can move walls around for different scenarios. Other than interior dimensions and auto exterior dimensions, I tend to use P2P everywhere else just because you can pick up pretty much wherever, I find it useful for dimensioning center of piles to foundation, and for site plans (where there is an image).

not sure I understand the question. it is a shed roof, with a high side on the right and a sloping ceiling with high side on the right. the one formula gives the height of the wall on the inside stopping at the ceiling plane, the other gives the height of the wall to the roof (through the attic) it would be, I would think, a distinction an interior designer would want to know. I personally just dimension a section for oddball rooms, as opposed to putting it on the plan, and then leave the normal floor height framing dimensions to a storey pole

the wall height is the same there for the two leader lines on the right. It looks like the global wall top elevation macro is going above the ceiling plane (underside of roof rafter maybe??) (191"), where the wall area divided by length is going to the ceiling plane (150") depends on what one wants i guess

interesting results with a sloped ceiling plane.

Michael's works, I just tested it, point the leader line to the wall in plan view

did you try %upper_layers[3].area/length% it does assume your third layer in is framing

i think because there can be pony walls, there is no "guranteed" way but I could be wrong. if you run object_properties against the wall you get per below. so if you can find it in there you can just use the property, but if i remember, it is not there. I think you could try the lumber area divided by the length but I'm not sure it works in all cases area --------------------------- 317.884566 sq ft length --------------------------------- 419.476541 in Doing the math from the above it gives 109.125, which is what I have, I'm just not sure it works in all case. put the following in your text box connected with a leadr line to the wall %upper_layers[3].area/length% (it shows area in sq ft below, but if you do it like above it reports in sq in) angle ---------------------------------- 89.99999999999999 ----------------- Float

nice tip, i usually sit there adjusting the z. this is much better

Can you change the batt size to be 1 sq ft?

if you move the wall divider which goes across, down, and then move the left wall divider down (it will drag the actual wall with it) and then move the actual wall back, it will work, but it is not perfect

the room divider overlaps the siding:

when trying to align the basement walls to the main floor i get this error

maybe post the plan

100cm IS 1000mm

i was at the computer store Friday and they had two 3080s for sale. They had a cute sign though. number of days since I was asked if we had 3080 cards 0 https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00117382

is that a 3d CA plant on top of the cabinet?

I believe it is more like this: ground is earthen ground.

per NBC illustrated guide: NBC Subsection 9.10.15. uses the term “glazed opening.” Glazed openings include windows and glazed portions of doors. The area of glazed openings is measured to the rough opening of the window or door, not to the edges of the glazing. The City here allows the use of the CA window size as opposed to the RO The City here also has a variance for zero lot line. A variance here is a variance to the code which is issued by the respective authority: https://www.calgary.ca/content/dam/www/pda/pd/documents/building/variances/advisory-zero-lot-line-variance.pdf ) One - Two Storey House - No glazed openings or unprotected mechanical openings are permitted on the exposing building face at 0m limiting distance. At 1.5m limiting distance, a maximum glazed opening area of 7% of the exposing building face measured from grade to the underside of the uppermost ceiling is permitted. No individual opening is to exceed 3.5% of the exposing building face. I added a calc for the last one, basically determines if a window exceeds 3.5% of the building face. It does not matter how far from the PL this is, the elevation facing the neighbors blank wall on the PL cannot have a window exceeding 3.5%

you have to build trusses. there are none there, see solver's video to check for them An ugly way....:Turn your all layers on set. You will see the rafters. Click Build-Framing-Roof Truss draw from top to bottom on right most rafter. then select the truss and multiple copy to the left.. Delete ridge rafter There is a video on trusses by CA one item from my "one note" on trusses. you may need to rebuild the truss after altering the room or roof plane,do this by selecting the truss, open up the dialog, check Force truss rebuild
