I can spare some time today. I'll send an email and we can go from there.

@coastdesign To notify me, you need to use the @ symbol before my username. For the foundation walls, it's best to make sure the exterior and interior wall surfaces are using the default material. You also need to edit default concrete material. Let's delete the pattern and make sure it's set to be concrete in the material list tab. Now, let's select all foundation walls and uncheck 'Sill Plate'. This shouldn't be needed, but sill plates don't always play according to the rules. So, we adapt. Then, try changing the sill plate setting for one foundation wall. Does it build? It does over here! So, now we can select all foundation walls and set the sill plates correctly. Do they all build? They do for me...so hopefully you get the same result. Some extra cleanup: You've got some rim joists hanging out in no man's land. And, just curious, do you actually want a 2x12 ridge if you are using trusses?

Insulation is a CAD item that will only show up when you use the 'Auto-Detail' tool. Sill Plates will not generate until you change the value of the width or depth of the sill plate for each wall. Close the wall dialog, then re-open and reset the values to what's desired. Ensure auto-framing for all assemblies is on to see the updates. For example, select one foundation wall. Select the Foundation Tab, and change the width of the Sill Plate to anything different than the current value (let's say 9"). Close the Wall Specification dialog. If you have auto-framing turned on, the sill plates should have built for that wall. Repeat that process to reset them back to 5 1/2". Do that for all foundation walls. And you should still remove the pattern from the concrete material used for the footings. You don't have to do this, but I'm assuming that the current pattern selection is based on a misunderstanding of the function. When you have the Edit Material dialog open, you also need to got to the Materials List tab and set it to be Concrete.

Ceiling Insulation: Increae the thickness to whatever thickness your R38 batts are.

#5. First floor walls are marked as foundation walls. Uncheck that. Update the default exterior wall to match. Framing: The wall framing layer needs to marked as Framing Wall Insulation: For the wall above, select the framing layer, then click Edit Layer and check Auto Detail as Insulation. Floor Insulation: Same as above. Remove the pattern from the concrete material used for the footing. Reset all walls to use default top and bottom heights. Rim Joist:

The 'why' is tough to nail down, although the fix is simple as Jonathan mentioned. I'd suggest sending it to Tech Support.

Hi Gerard, yes they do. It's pretty much ready to go so I'll reach out to you by email! -
It is not possible yet, but it can be sped up a bit. You can assign that fill to the structure layer of the floor and roof and ceiling assemblies. Then, when you auto-detail a section view, you can select multiple polylines, merge them, and quickly drag the edges to cover the attic portions.

I found the website before I found my own files! Hope that helps!

A texture assigned to a solid wall works well. Techo-Bloc has a large library of textures. https://www.techo-bloc.com/shop/garden-and-retaining-walls/borealis-wall/curb-double-side-hazelnut-brandy?parent=6c3b02b2-7af6-4630-ba38-b94137227099 https://www.techo-bloc.com/support/resources/technical-resources/designers-toolbox

Hi Alan, Seeing as you're not afraid of moving the top or bottom of walls, try this: Break and move the bottom corner of this wall up: Then, in plan view, extend the drywall (Edit Wall Layer Intersections). That should result in this:
