If I needed to show a framing plan, I would do exactly what you do. Typically, all I need to show is a beam (if any), posts & footings and a joist spec. arrow. And, just for context, where I live, exterior deck stairs and landings are usually custom built out of aluminum and powder coated. Same with deck railings.

The OP is correct, in X14 the warning to update a layout box (using plot lines) has been removed. You need to remember to update each layout or all layout boxes before printing. I don't know if this change was intentional or not.

You'd be trading a lot of wall types for a lot of manual material regions....good luck with that! Maybe you're on to something that I don't understand...entirely possible. I only install siding or drywall manually when I absolutely have to.

I will just point out that using a 'deck' or a 'landing' has their own pros and cons. I ALWAYS use a landing between exterior split stairs because the landing elevation height updates automatically.

Pretty much. Supports for Landings must be dealt with manually.

Have you tried making a custom backdrop from a solid white jpg file?

You're welcome Jason!

OR...you could notch the main roof plane around the gable wall.

You will need a custom ceiling plane to make the ceiling slope the way I think you'd like it to.

Have you turned those circled walls into foundation walls with a footing?

@tds_cc I found one layout box on page 1 and it is much larger than the actual page. Is this what you were looking for? I recommend making the Layout Box Border a bright color and turning it's layer on until it's time to print.

Great video @Renerabbitt! Smooth, brief, easy to follow!

You're welcome Greg!

That was one done super quick, and I haven't even looked at it. I think that jitter probably happened during the recording...in other words the rotation jittered, not the recording. I was using other apps while it was recording. I fixed it for your Chop! Click the link now! Actually, I'm just wrapping that project up so I updated it for the client!

The one I posted was at 15 fps.

Save to the cloud...if you're using X14. Otherwise I used to upload them to youtube so that I'd have just a link to share.

Can you post your video?

Glad you figured it out! I figured it had something to do with layers or layersets.

Change the lite count.

No.

You really need to post the plan.

You are the man Rene! The width is available for a text with a grid and for a text box without a grid (at the same time). This allows me to reset many text box widths at once. Thank you!!

press record first, wait a few seconds, then spin, then stop, wait a few seconds then stop recording.

Depending on what you've figured out, there are probably much faster ways. Especially if you figured out to use Chief's Orbital Walkthrough Path. I prefer to setup a camera view so the focal point is pretty close to the center of the entire model. Then rotate the camera using 'ctrl-alt-s'. You can simply press 's' to stop the rotation. Adjust the location and rotation speed of the camera. Rotate to a nice starting view. Using the walkthrough tools, press record. Then rotate the camera. Press 's' to stop. Wait a couple of seconds before stopping the recording.
