Hi all, I have an exterior stair which is attaching to the terrain rather than concrete slab. Seems like the upper part is connecting to the railing rather than the first step of the stairs. Please check the attached image. What could be wrong?

Oh I got it. I was not doing the ray trace J.

Hi all, I seem to be having an issue with triggering rendering. It is Ok if I select glass house, line drawing but the default perspective view is not rendering well. I remember it used to take a lot of time and do multiple passes of renders providing with a much better render of what I currently have (see image attached) How can I get better than this perspective view? Thanks

Hi all, I am making a roof plan and would like to mention the heights/elevations of all ridges, chimneys, decks etc relative to the reference point(which I have from a survey). (See the red points in the attached image for details) Is there an easier way to calculate the heights of these red points from the reference point? other than taking cross section views and then using a tape measure to measure the distance between the point and reference?

matt thanks a lot that worked like a charm!

Hi, I am new to CA so having some basic issues with the sides of my deck. Check attached image. I want it to cover with stucco or some other material. Where can I specify that? Thanks a lot.

Hi all, I want to see the plan foot print from all floor levels on the plot plan. I have created a layer set with the name plot plan and in it I can see the floor 0 footprint on the contours. However, I cannot see simultaneously floor 0, 1, 2.

Hi Glenn all, Looks like I have got going on the recessed doors by increasing the width of the stucco and placing a door within. However I can't make the doors swing outside as soon as I make it swing outside the door moves towards the outer part of the wall. I also I have a header in the middle of the french door. Please see the attached pictures. Hi Glen, I will try out your idea by using an invisible wall on the front of the door and lowering its ceiling height to get the recessed effect from the top. I appreciate all the tips.

Hi Joe, can you elaborate what you mean by "turn back to where the doors are" ? I used Perry and Ralt's idea of increasing the width of the wall/stucco but then I get other issues like framing, room not showing up correctly, I can only think that it would also create problems in total floor area... Is there any other way to do this?

Does anyone know how to make the recessed doors in the above image?
