1. This is not footing thickness it's wall thickness. 2. On the Structure panel of the Wall Specification Dialog, the wall between the kitchen and living room, and the short wall of the closet have Bearing Wall and Create Wall/Footing Below checked. The bedroom walls have Create Wall/Footing Below checked. Uncheck those. 3. As to the span or whether you need those bearing walls, that depends on your structural intents and goals. That's up to the designer to decide. Although it looks like you intend to use common trusses, in which case, no, 32' is not too far to span.

Ok I see now. In your General Wall Defaults, you have Resize About set to Main Layer Outside. The Main Layer in your wall definition is the framing layer, so when you click to draw a wall right next to the cabinet, the program is snapping the framing layer to the cabinet, leaving your 1/2" drywall layer overlapping. Change the setting to Outer Surface and the wall will snap to the cabinet at the drywall layer:

Not sure what you're having trouble with, I was able to place a wall against the cabinet. Is this what you want?

Folder and file paths are found in the Preferences menu: On the computer with the custom toolbars and preferences you want copied, find and copy those folders to the other computers. You might want to keep the original folders in case something goes south, but this works for me.

I would love to have user-created dropdowns, even made a suggestion for it some time back.

These tools can easily be placed anywhere you wish in your custom toolbars. This is a real problem??

And yes, in Chrome the Full Screen button is in the lower right.

What browser is your client using? 3D Viewer models viewed in Safari (OOB Apple browser) do not show a Full Screen button, but Chrome does. In fact Safari is very buggy for 3D Viewer. I use Chrome to preview my models and it works fine.

Just as Chopsaw said, delete the layers in Ceiling Finish in the Room Specification DBX. Make sure you have defined rooms so you can keep it to only the room you want exposed joists.

Wow, you have a good memory. Me, not so much Thanks

Where do you set the default line weight?

Not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish, but if the walls aren't in line, one of two things would have to happen. Either the background plane would have to have a lower fascia top height with the same overhang, or it has to have a smaller soffit. Either way, I would probably delete the higher plane and manually edit the lower roof plane to accomplish either option. Then the rear plane can be edited to meet with one ridge.

What does it do, does it get the dust bunnies under the bed too? Because my vacuum lady never gets those. Oops, here she comes... Ow, oof, OW!!

Lol. You probably know this Larry, but you can also unlock that layer and manipulate the poly lines for the trim. Just sayin'

You can't right now. You're right, it used to work, but it was reduced in function. Chief Architect even said they were planning to do away with the settings altogether in this Suggestion thread I created asking for a return of the previous functionality: Please add your support in that thread, but explain why you want it and how it affects your workflow. "+1" or "me too" does no good.

Yes, that makes it all smooth and automatic. It also works for dimensions, CAD, text, walls, basically anything. It's really very, very powerful.

Yes. When you select a roof plane, look for the Place Roof Plane intersection Point tool. It works a little differently, but actually better. Other threads here discuss it in detail.

To be more specific, I'll assume you have a saved plan view for your foundation plan and a separate one for your basement plan. At a minimum you need custom layer sets for each view. Then create a custom layer for your basement callouts and a separate custom layer for the foundation callouts. Then assign the callouts to their corresponding layer, and you can turn that layer on or off depending on which view you're using. The saved plan views also need to have the layer set assigned for that view. Set this up, then make the appropriate "Callout" settings in the SPVs / Default Sets in your template plan, and the callouts will automatically work how you want them to. Default Sets are not really necessary since you can assign all the same settings directly in the saved plan view, but I still use them because some of them will work for multiple saved plan views.

Are you using Saved Plan Views? Default Sets? Custom Layer Sets for the default sets? That's how I control what's visible.

I would finish plans in the version they were started in, and start new plans in the new version. My 2¢ I keep old versions installed, they stand alone.

With the width of the addition, it will only work with a really shallow pitch like 2/12, which is really low. At any rate, the method is to make the two short walls gable walls, then adjust the roof pitch in the long wall DBX. The shed plane will have to end before it reaches the hip ridge of the end walls of the house.

You're seeing temporary dimensions. They do not remain after deselecting. Draw a dimension line.

To expand on what was posted above, temporary dimensions follow the settings in whatever Dimension Default is Active at the time. You can switch the active dimension default for various purposes, which you probably did inadvertently. I have added the Active Dimension Defaults Control drop-down tool to my toolbar so I can change out the settings if needed- usually temporarily.

I'm confused by this. If the "whole house" is 9', why did you raise the porch to be 10'? Impossible to tell what you're trying to achieve as the end result, or how to help you, from what is provided.
