Eric.....................Took your advice and it worked pretty well for me. (attachment) I couldn't get rid of a few lines in the plan view, (attachment) but I can look past that. The rendering looks good. Thanks for taking the time------much appreciated. Have a great weekend.

I "think" I dealt with this problem at some point in the distant pass with a work around, but now I can't find the solution. I'm wanting to build a corner like is shown in the lower half of the attachment, but CA is building what is shown in the top half of the picture. I hope I'm not missing the obvious, because surely there must be a way (or work around) to get the wall to look correctly in plan view and in a rendering. I tried a "search", but to no avail. As always, any and all help is much appreciated.

DBCooper............................Yes, that was my problem. Thank you. Have a great day.

Joe............................When I printed out the note schedule it printed just as shown in the "CAD attachment". When I cut and past the note schedule from the cad detail back into my plan all the numbers and circles are red again.

I made a roof framing note schedule while in plan view. All my circles and numbers are red (first attachment). I then made a cad detail and cut & paste the note schedule to there. After pasting the circles and numbers in the cad detail they are a combination of red and green (second attachment). Why the difference when going to a cad detail? I can't figure a way to change the circles and numbers to be all red once they are in the cad detail. As I mentioned, when I sent the schedule from my plan to the cad detail I did it by cut and paste. Is there a better way to move the schedule from plan view to a cad detail? Could the way I sent it have something to do with my "color" problem. I don't remember this occurring before. What am I missing or is this a "senior moment"? As always all advice is greatly appreciated.

I recently purchased this mouse and up to this point I have been quite satisfied with it, but the past week, using the "zoom wheel" has been very frustrating. I might just touch the wheel and what I'm trying to zoom in or out on my screen goes crazy, jumping all over the place. I've only had this mouse for a few months. Up to the last week it has worked great. At $100.00, it's not a huge investment, but I don't think it should be having problems already. I thought this was a popular mouse for cad work with great reviews. I'm assuming it's a "mouse problem" and not CA's. Has anyone else had this problem, either with this mouse, CA, or with another mouse? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

When the "lean to" roof attaches to the upper roof look in the dbx. for that roof's pitch and then change it's pitch to a one that is less. Once you do that attach the lesser pitched "lean to" roof to the exterior wall. (manual roof)

Thanks to all for your responses. All where helpful in understanding "my" problem and not CA's. Have a great day.

What determines the 2D Symbol size and text spacing between lines in Note Schedules? Shown in my attachment are two note schedules and you can clearly see the differences I'm talking about. I've compared the dbx. between the two and I can't find any differences or where I can set them up so they would look alike for the 2D Symbol size and correct spacing between lines. I attempted searches but didn't find anything on the subject I was looking for. What am I missing or where should I be looking? As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

Michael.........................Thank you. I've been away from my work most of the day. Your information and help is much appreciated. There's one item I didn't mention earlier and I thought I should while I'm thinking about it. When I was first building the simplified plan I just built roof planes "A" and "B". After they were in place, with "B" roof planes being checked to overframe, I had CA frame the roofs and the "B" roof planes overframed correctly. I then mistakenly deleted the framing. After that (and not moving the roof planes in any way) I could not get the overframing to work. I experimented with a number of different roof planes and overframing. When I would get a setup to overframe, I would then erase the roof framing and then try to rebuild the overframing. It wouldn't work. Could this be a bug or is it something on "my end"? In all cases I would just rehighlite the roof planes to build the framing. Not moving the planes in any way.

Since no one answered this thread up to this point I thought I would do the "correct" thing and send a simplified plan of my problem. What I'm attempting to do is over frame roof planes "B" onto "A". I also want to over frame roof plane "C" onto "A", B" and "D". I can't get either of the roof planes to over frame. What am I doing wrong? Can CA do this? Suggestions will be much appreciated. Also, I noticed when I backed up this plan to send it had 70 "referenced files". If possible, can someone explain this to me? Could this somehow be part of my problem? SIMPLIFIED PLAN.zip

I'm adding on an addition and I have a case where I want to do a roof over frame. I've tried everything I can think of and I can't get the "over framing to work. I built the same roof off to the side and attached the second roof that I want to over frame in a "T" type setup and tried the over framing option. It framed correctly. I then erased the framing from the new roofs and tried it again and it would not over frame. I tried this a few more times and I still could not get the over framing to work. Any suggestions before I strip down the model and send it?

Thanks guys. I'm going to be away from my computer for a day or two. When I get back I'll do more follow up with you all.

Chris................"Orientations" are all the same on all three railing walls shown. As for the drywall material, I just "grabbed" the "interior railing" wall type and used it. I've used it many times for exterior decks and up to now the drywall never showed. I have six railing walls making up this deck and the one I show is the only one with drywall showing. I thought maybe I was missing something simple that makes it show or not. There are times when railing walls are a "three coffee cup" ordeal for me. I got the "jitters" now! Thanks for the reply. Have a great day.

I have three railing walls exactly the same. One shows drywall on the framing and the other two don't. What determines if the drywall shows or not? I've looked at all the specifications dbx. on all three walls and everything looks the same. What am I missing? Thanks ahead for taking time for the help.

Thanks Glenn. I guess all I need to do is look! Can I blame my question on this as old age? Thanks again for enlightening me. Have a great day.

Maybe I've been building interior sliding barn doors for interior use wrong for years, but when I built the door, I oversized it. so it covered the casing. Is there a work around so I can do this in X15 other than making a doorway and then adding the track and door as symbols? I know this way works as a work around, but it's a PITA.

Did you use a "railing wall" to make your railing. A plan would help considerably.

You can extend the cabinet face on either side, but is there a way/work around to extend the length of the side of a cabinet? The only way I see is to make the cabinet 3/4" narrower and make just a cabinet face the width desired and attach it next to the cabinet. I'm just wondering if there's a better way to go about attempting to extend the side of a cabinet.

I'm sure I'm "reaching", but is there a "hidden work around" to just change the sash color only and not the sash and frame as a pair?

When adding a frieze under the roof return, what determines the length of the frieze from the end of the return? There should be a way other than changing the molding line manually. It's a real PITA when you have a house with a couple dozen returns. Then at times when you move the frieze molding line the molding ends up anywhere but where you wanted it, which after this happening it takes more than two cups of coffee to settle a person back down.

I guess I approach showing the client their model in a little "thought process". I do a Zoom meeting with them showing their model. I feel like I have the most control/discussion of the project and I can show them almost any aspect of the model and answer any of their questions in "real time". I'm then not leaving the model in their possession. There are times when I might send some .pdf's of certain details, but there aren't many times where they will get "measured floorplans" till the model is decided on and a final cost is agreed upon. This might not always be the best approach for all clients, but for most projects it works out okay.

What you are showing are the eaves. Try changing the sub-eave. If that doesn't work, send a screen shot of the "structure" dbx. for the roof plane.

Glenn...........I think at one point along the way of my "trials & errors" I got those same results, but when I tried to extend the top 5/12 roof so it would have an eave fascia board the "crap hit the fan". Thanks for taking the time to look at my dilemma.

Robert...............I appreciate you taking your time and knowledge in helping me work this "problem" out. I don't know what the answer is as far as CA is concerned. It shouldn't be this difficult. I guess the answer is more/better manual control of framing members.............especially rafters. I sent this into support. If there answer is "ground breaking", I'll put it on this thread. Thank you and have a great day.
