  1. You'll also need to tell the deck room that it has a roof over it, but not a flat ceiling.
  2. You'll need a vaulted ceiling with enough space between the ceiling and the roof to produce a truss.
  3. The sandwich will get moldy and the spilled milk will start to stink.
  4. What you see in my label shows the width by height in inches because hardly anyone in western Canada knows how to read a standard door / window size, at least not in residential construction. You know how many times I got asked why the doors were 26" x 68"?? Not making that up!!
  5. A note works best. Just make a new note type and use it for your room schedule.
  6. You got it. All I did was use a leader line and the text macro %ObjectProperties% This is already in your system and you can use those properties to your advantage. I can't say too much because I'm no macro guru, but if you try it out, I think you'll see how I got there.
  7. If you post your plan I can take a quick look.
  8. 1. make sure your roof is built 100% correct 2. if that doesn't do the trick, a solid or 3d molding will do what you need. Drawn in elevation view.
  9. My workaround...Make your flared stairs. Use a second stair for the railing beside the flared stairs (You can change a straight stair to an arc). Draw a curved wall under the curved stair used for railing. This is my 30 second example. Another couple of minutes would really clean things up.
  10. Will you be using a motion sensor light fixture, or a light switch with optional motion sensor? I recommend the switch because it can toggle off the motion sensor if desired. To your question...I'd make a symbol and it'll show up in the legend. I'd add "MS" to either symbol. Chief has one...Occupancy Sensor.
  11. @rgardner I'm referring to the "Framing Back Clip" option. 3D View Defaults / Vector View Options / Framing Back Clip: It does what it says...clips the framing. Using this you can easily prevent errant framing from showing in section view; assuming you don't want to (read: not getting paid to) make sure all the framing is modeled perfectly, but rather just to suit the needs of the drawings you're providing.
  12. Can you control the framing backclip per camera view or is that a universal setting? It's really handy to automatically simplify a section view, but not so much when it cuts out your deck framing in elevation view... Side Note...it took me one heckuva long time to figure out why my deck wouldn't show up in elevation views!! I smell a suggestion cooking...a really strong suggestion!
  13. Window Defaults / Casing / Double Wall Options / Not Through
  14. Here's another railing issue from an old topic.
  15. And if you repeat that process on the new symbol? delete surfaces, convert to symbol again.
  16. Does it work to delete those surfaces, then convert to a symbol?
  17. Glad to see you got your vanity complete. As far as the 'Traverse' sink goes...you should make sure your Kohler library is up to date. At any rate, you can see that by manipulating the stretch planes, you'd be able to make all the sink sizes from the 'Bliss' collection by Kube.
  18. Kohler / Traverse. This sink symbol can be adjusted to do what you need.
  19. I'll add that you can just increase the countertop thickness in the dbx and in plan view, right click your sink symbol to adjust it vertical offset. Should be pretty easy.
  20. Added lights are better IMO because its easier to group select them and change them all at once.
  21. Rope Light Vertical.calibz Play with this.
  22. Use an 'added light', copy the light settings from a rope light, and replicate it vertically (z-axis).
