@solver brought it to my attention that having the individual panels would be useful for stacking taller doors in the Door Spec dialog, or for assembling taller doors as symbols. I updated the catalog with folders containing the individual panels, and renamed the symbols and folders to make more sense (to me at least ) Overhead Doors Revised.calibz

I've never been happy with the overhead doors available either in Chief's catalog or the mfrs catalogs. I always just wanted a nice handful of raised panel or recessed panel, in single width and double width that "matched," four and five panels high, plain and with a couple glass options. So I finally just sat down and made a mini-catalog of just that. The attached file should contain the following door symbols: "Double 4" contains four panels vertically, "Double 5" has five, for either 7'h or 8'h doors. These are all "short panel" style doors. I thought about making long panel versions, but I don't really like long panel doors so I don't spec them. If I make more it will be with beadboard panels. A couple sample images: Created using X15.

You're right, shingles won't work. EPDM membrane can go down to 1/4"/foot

Ah, thanks, I was sitting on the back porch sipping an adult beverage when I wrote that, was going on memory And siggys don't show up on my phone so I didn't realize what version he was using. Probably should avoid the drink-posting. (Notice I didn't say drunk-posting, it is a weeknight ya know!)

I don't use an electrical schedule but in the schedules I do use you can just click on a row and drag it up or down wherever you want. Also, there are up and down buttons that appear on the edit menu when you select a row.

There is, but difficult to guess what needs fixed from your post alone. Posting a plan file would allow someone to diagnose the problem. Somewhere along your workflow, your settings are causing this. Again, without the plan and a more thorough explanation of what steps you're taking when this happens (switching saved plan view, sending to layout, etc), very difficult to guess at the answer.

Yep, my post shows how to do that. Why? It already exists.

3. But if you have to leave the garage, yeah a small saddle there will work, added manually

1. was smooth when I opened the file..? 2. align the front of the temp wall with the room divider wall on the master deck, and it fixes that 3. I don't like roof intersections like that. I'd move the garage forward

Here, attaching those to the gable would be part of dressing the trusses on the ground.

Thanks Glenn, thinking it through I probably can't automate what I want to do. Maybe the Suggestion for mulling in the window dbx would offer that option.

Is this auto roofs? I haven't tried it, not at my computer so i can't answer your question but when working in manual roofs you should be able to delete the hole...

Would like a macro that reports the number of individual units in a mulled window, and their sizes and type. I checked the object properties of a mulled window and it doesn't appear we have access to that information within the mulled unit...?

Spell check is not available within the DBX but it is at the layout page level when multiple objects are selected. Selecting a single layout box will not trigger the tool. The easy method is just hit Select All at the layout page, then it checks everything including layout labels.

I thought it was clear. At least, I knew what you were asking. But yeah good to have more advice available for users.

Personally, I'm orientated towards "outlooker" as the language seems rigged against outsiders. Always looking out for the correct terminology can leave you hanging over the edge. I mean, it's whatever floats your board, but if yer canoe slopes you might consider a cantilevered solution... as long as Gable approves (I read that his Outlook is keen but that was in an email). Well, I'm gonna grab my skyhook and rig up a floating levelator to cantilever this space rafter over my hang! Been good to canoe ya!

Like TT said, they should generate automatically if the settings are right.

On the left, the valleys don't join properly: Corrected: On the right, sometimes I'll add tiny square ends to the roof plane to clean up: This is not a perfect fix, looks good from a distance but causes small artifacts: I was able to get this by adjusting the height of the main roof fascia, manually building the eyebrows and extending them past the main roof, and setting the main roof Shadow Board to "gable only":

In that case, why not consider using public domain stock photos of various vehicles? Strip out the background imagery, and add them to your renderings in post production. That way you can show a variety of vehicles, instead of the same one over and over. Plus they would be naturally photorealistic, and free. The only issue would be orienting your building model to the perspective and angle of the vehicles, involving some trial and error.

PS you might want to update your siggy

As Tea Time said, the room below is interfering with the straight frieze. You can correct that, and keep the roof and ceiling settings in that room by: Uncheck Roof Over This Room on the room below Unlock the Roofs, Trim layer In 3D, select, then cut the correct frieze to the clipboard Turn Roof Over This Room back on Select and delete the new incorrect frieze Paste Hold Position the correct frieze The only problem with that trick is the frieze will not auto generate if you make changes to the roof plane(s). For the curved roof I had to rebuild the roof plane and the frieze worked for me. Not sure why it didn't for you. Farr Residence CB.plan.zip

I would use the Custom Backsplash tool for that. This was done in X14:

We can't. It's a mis-labeled dialog option, since there is no "default" for those settings. In previous versions, as recently as X10, you could enter the line weights in the Send to Layout dialog, and those settings would be remembered for subsequent views sent, until they were manually changed, even after restarting... which was a sort-of "default." Now those line weights are hard-coded and any changes have to be made to each view after it's in Layout. And any changes made there won't affect other existing views, or new views being sent. For some odd reason @ChiefArchitect thinks using Edge and Pattern Line Defaults is a bad idea, even though several of us have argued that it's a great way to maintain consistency among various layout views, without having to worry about all of the layer settings matching. There's a thread on Suggestions asking for this feature to remain, and to give us actual Default settings for Edge and Pattern Line weights and colors: Yes, as DB said, just uncheck those options, and the line weights will be derived from the source view. However, there are several nuances to that option. Click on Help in the Send To Layout dialog, there you will find all the information about it.

No.
