Did you check the obvious to see if the layer the fixture on is locked?

I'm still on X6, but AFAIK the edit wall intersection tool doesn't work at wall openings, only at ends, which is why I don't think it will work for the OP. It would be nice if the OP wouldn't leave us in the dark and would tell us how the problem was solved.

I can't open your file - I'm on X6 until my computer is upgraded (ran out of disk space). Be sure to draw the lower (curved) roof planes first, curve them, then draw the higher roof planes with the baseline along the ridge of the lower (curved) plane.

There is a step-by-step section in the Reference Manual on how to accomplish this condition. That's how I learned:

I agree with most of this for my area. Plus, some jurisdictions will count a suface as pervious, while others will count the same surface as impervious.

The wall needs to have the main layer defined as a framing material - right now it is set to a non-framing material: Pine(honey).

I don't get that problem. Post the plan so we can take a closer look.

Better control has been requested several times, including here: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/2150-global-and-local-control-of-origin-for-display-of-line-styles-patterns-etc/?hl=pattern Maybe bumping this up in the suggestion forum will get CA working on a solution.

I agree. I believe you're thinking of DEFINE MATERIAL>TEXTURE>OFFSET AND ANGLE>GLOBAL SYMBOL MAPPING.

Are you looking to gain experience to as a part-time designer/consultant, or... are you looking for someone else with experience to be a part-time designer/consultant.

Yes, I understand very well. I always forget what I've hidden and why. It's especially difficult for someone else in the office to pick up a project if a bunch of stuff is hidden.

You can already add moldings to the base cabinets through the cabinet dbx:

CA uses .pat files for patterns, so import isn't the problem. The problem is that CA doesn't allow us to define the origin point of the pattern so precise positioning of the pattern is impossible.

Another solution:

Look at this plan view. There are times you may want to use a Flat Region rather than an Elevation Region:

From the X6 Reference manual: Elevation Regions are similar to Flat Regions in that they produce an area with a flat surface; however, they differ in that an Elevation Region affects the contours of the terrain outside of its perimeter and may also have some sloping within its perimeter.

Delete the Elevation Region near the corner of the Bath and Bedroom 2.

Scaled according to what space I have available on the drawing sheet.

Here are three examples of cartoon schematics from a recent job - stuck in the corner of the page with specific information that is easy to read and reduces clutter on the main plan.

Yes. I often create a not-to-scale schematic and stick it in a corner of the plan sheet. Things I've used it for: Indicating match-lines. Braced wall lines. Location of the plan display in relation to the building footprint. etc. I don't see any reason you couldn't use this method as your propose.

Well, to be honest, Wisconsin is a dinosaur when it comes to 1- and 2-family dwelling design. Our dwelling code is archaic and cobbled together from bits and pieces of old code and the IRC. However, the big cities, like Madison and Milwuakee, have some pretty meticulous (to be polite) plan reviewers - everyone gets hammered, regardless of professional status or certifications.

Daydream, Get a copy of your local building code. Understand the plan submittal process. Get a copy of an approved plan set to study.

My tech school degree program was "Associate of Applied Science in Architectural Technology." In Wisconsin you can't call yourself an Architect, Professional Engineer, Landscape Architect, Interior Designer, Land Surveyor, etc. without having the license (education, job experience, exams, permit fees, continuing education, etc.). Just like doctors, lawyers, master plumbers, journeymen, et. al. You really need to check your local statutes which describe what you can call yourself, how you can market/advertise yourself, and the scope of the work you can perform. In Wisconsin ANYONE can "design" a one- or two-family home - an Architect or PE stamp isn't required.

1. It depends on what you mean by design. You may want to start by browsing the bookshelves at the library. Have you checked with your local technical college for courses they may offer? Lots of draftsmen/designers start with a two-year technical degree. 2. Depending on where you live it may be a legal definition of what you are permitted to call yourself, depending on the professional licenses or certificates you hold. 3. Lots of independent draftsmen/designers charge by the square foot. Around my area, it can be as cheap as $1/sf. Of course, I've never been very impressed with their production documents. 4. It takes a lot of time and effort to tailor this sort of thing to the clients you are courting. Give us an idea of your anticipated project scope.
