DB...........................I had tried both of what you suggested earlier. Neither worked. I ended up just using a 3D solid just to "move-on", but I would still like to know what causes this to happen. I thought I could get the answer on CheifTalk (which I usually do), but I guess I'll send it into support to see what they say. If I get an answer, I'll post it. As for X18, I haven't downloaded it yet. I'm hesitant to start using it in a middle of a project, especially while it's still in BETA. Thanks for taking the time. Have a great day.

I have two rooms in the basement with both labeled the same. The floor elevations and materials are the same, but where the door is going into the other room there is no floor material (attached picture). Ceiling elevations are different. the room where the steps are is the cellarway to the outside with a bulkhead at the top. Is there a simple "cure" to fixing this issue. I "think" I've checked everything I know that might cause this. Help is always appreciated.

DBCooper..............................Thank you, that moved the door to where I wanted it. Why isn't it called "door offset". I guess I think "old school". Panel, to me, is part of a door, not "the door". There are times that make me wonder how they come up with these reference names. I suppose it's been in the specifications dbx. for some time, but this is the first instance for me. I thank you for sharing your wisdom and time with me-------------much appreciated! Have a great day.

I have a ICF basement pony wall. The lower section is 11" !CF blocks and the upper section is one row of 9" !CF blocks. I'm installing a door in the wall of the lower section and I want the hinge side of the door flush with the inside of the 11" ICF blocks. When I install the door the jamb lines up with the 9" ICF block above. (attachment 1) I unchecked "Fit jamb to Wall" in the Interior Door Specification dbx. and extended the jamb to the inside face of the 11" ICF block, but the door still remains lined up with the 9" ICF block above. (attachment 2) Is there some type of work around to get the door to the inside face of the wall or am I just missing something in the dbx. As always, I appreciate that you take your time for my problem.

Sorry David .......my bad! Played around a bit. This is kind of drawed out depending on what you are doing. 1. make a solid cylinder the total diameter you want. 2. make another cylinder the diameter of the inside size you want and make it a little longer 3. set it centered inside the larger cylinder and then subtract it from the larger one. 4. you now have a tube. 5. copy it and turn the copy 90 degrees to the original 6. make a large square solid and turn it 45 degrees to the cylinders. 7. line it up so it will subtract a 45 degree piece all the way across each cylinder 8. add the two pieces together to form one 90 degree elbow. OR just do it in SketchUp . I'm sure there are easier ways. I just haven't had enough coffee yet this morning.

Make this shape with a molding profile. Then, if you need/want too, convert it to a symbol and put it in your user library. Seems simple enough if I'm following what you're asking for.

1. Mull the top three windows together. 2. Mull the bottom three windows together. 3. Mull the top units to the bottom units. Hopefully that will work for you.

It'll be for a 2nd floor balcony opening, so I'll have to see, when using a "pass-thru" going all the way to the floor, what happens to the floor material in the "pass-thru" area. As to whether the room floor material is shown in the "pass-thru" area or not will be the big question. I'll get back to you on that thought.

Yes, that works for one side, but my opening is angled to the slope of the roof at both top corners of the doorway. I also agree as to why they don't have the "shape" option for the doorways.

As the title says, I have a wide doorway that I want to angle the two top corners to match the roof pitch. Do I need to use a "pass-thru" instead of a "doorway" even though I want the opening to go all the way to the floor? The reason I'm asking about a pass-thru is that you have the "shape" option using a "pass-thru" and with a doorway you don't or is there another option to deal with my question? I'm having a "elder's brain fog".

I've been having this "issue" in X17 for some time now and I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this same issue. I'll have an elevation open on my large monitor along with my plan view. If I go away from my work to have a coffee or to talk on the phone for 15 or 20 minutes, come back to my desk and draw a "standard polygon" on the elevation. I'm unable to click on it or any other object on the elevation. If I take the elevation and move it to my second monitor everything works as it should and I'm able to click on and open any object. If I move the elevation back to my larger monitor I, once again, am unable to open any object on the elevation. If I save and close out the plan and then reopen it, open the "problem elevation" I'm able to once again click on any object and they "open up" as they should. I'm hoping others have noticed this happening, because if it's not CA X17, I'm not sure where to turn. Oh, and the problem has occurred in other plans using X17. As always any suggestions is always greatly appreciated. I'm hoping I made this "issue" clear enough.

Don't ask me why, but I closed down CA and opened it back up after dinner and it's now working correctly.................. go figure! I should have known better. CA did it to me again! Thanks to all for "pondering" this thread. It's now time grab some popcorn, set back in the recliner and watch the Eagles start their season.

I used to be able to copy an item from one plan to another plan with the command "Control-Alt-V" to place an object in another plan at the same location in the second plan. In X17 I'm unable to do that. Is there a new command used in X17 to do this? Surely this isn't a bug or am I having a "senior moment"?

Jim...................Yes , that was it! Thank you. Like I mentioned in my thread, when I shut down for the day everything is fine, and then when I opened the plan back up, before I did anything, the intersection lines were showing. CA was having fun again.
