@Larry_SweeneyIf you can post a plan, I'd be happy to investigate.

Are the default wall top and bottom checked for the wall with siding?

Thanks Rene, I just found that right as your message popped up! Clearly I don't use it often!

AFAIK it has always worked that way. I would detach the side line, then move it where I need it, then use it to trim / extend the top / bottom lines and then the polyline will reconnect. It works as expected if the 2 sides ( in your example) are parallel to each other.

You are using the dimension tools incorrectly. You're creating points only at the 2 corners and the rest of the dimensions are grabbing the openings. You need to create proper dimension default settings for your foundation plans that will locate the center or the sides of the openings. If you rebuild the foundation the manually placed dimensions locating the door openings will lose that locate. So, If using manual dimensions, don't use auto-rebuild for foundations, or the build foundation tool. Auto - foundation pairs nicely with auto-dimensions. If and Once dimensioning needs to be cleaned up manually, then make foundation adjustments manually as well.

I'm not sure I'd call the omission of something as rare as an ICF brick ledge a problem. I've designed and built an awful lot of ICF structures using every brand and size and form profile imaginable and it is much easier and simpler to model a brick ledge form using a molding polyline than it would be through any configuration of dialog boxes. There simply are too many types and they are rarely used. If you use them in your drafting projects regularly, then you should have library of items ready to help you model this condition. It should take about 2-3 minutes to have that modeled accurately (the first time), using one of a variety of methods. After that, it should (or at least could) be almost automatic.

Did you check that each roof plane is also set to 24"

Ooh a riddle! I give up...how?

@dskogg You might find what you need here. https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/collection/5e4d0e7a-0d2d-474c-881d-66b63c5838b2/blanco?sortBy=createTime DESC&searchTab=model&hl=en

Yep, I knew those were there. There used to be a double square sink called Avado. A Blanco catalog would be nice. https://www.blanco.com/ca-en/

Yes. If I remember correctly there used to be a few more from Elkay, but they're gone. Elkay Avado was my go-to sink.

It stops grinding when it hits that limit. Without that checked, it grinds continually.

Rob, make sure that Cap Live Samples is checked. You can uncheck it for final views, or whenever you want a higher quality image.

Yes. It's like pedaling in Zone 7 for more than 5-10 seconds.

Thanks @solver @Chrisb222. That confirms what I was unsure of. Usually I make my file copies in File Explorer. Lesson Learned!

Kohler - Vault K-3822 is similar except it has a drain rack.

Has anyone else noticed the 'Save As' function not working correctly? Or is my understanding of it incorrect? A couple of times recently, I have needed to propose an alternate layout. I press 'Save as' , then rename the file, and then proceed with adjustments to the new renamed file. Then when looking at the original file, I see that changes made in between the times of the last 'Save' and the 'Save As' have not been saved in the original plan file. I'd appreciate others input / experience before I contact support.

@JFH-DFH I'd suggest making a cad block of that image, then doing this process on a CAD detail taken from the elevation drawing. Then, you'll have simpler snap points and you can copy/paste back and forth between the cad detail and elevation camera as you see fit. I do this all the time with glass railings, so you can see behind them in elevation view.

For me, hitting those lines is usually quite trouble-free, but I'll certainly give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion.

You can also use a CAD detail where you copy/paste texture or material images.

That was me and I did that with the hopes that it would aid anyone else dealing with the same problem. I don't actually think it's a solution. If I try to snap a dimension to the edge of a polyline, I think it should be pretty simple, and it should hit the edge, not a corner. But we play the hand we're dealt.

Is it my imagination or has this slowly deprecated? I have found that it works a bit better by aiming for the opposite, or far corner of a polyline. As long as you don't care about extension gaps.

Mmmm, I've never experienced that. I draw plenty of vaulted ceiling planes over decks, and usually at 1/2 the pitch of the roof. The gable end wall (if there is one) almost always needs to be manually adjusted in section / elevation view.

I have not created a new template. But I have gotten the same crashes when using Chief's Residential Template.
