dish machine.calibz Here's one I got from 3D warehouse a few years ago.

Yep I like to use the same method as Chris & Gene. Sometimes for basic prelim versions I will toggle off all the patterns in elevation views when we aren't sure of materials yet.

You can also toggle all the material patterns on or off in 3D views.

Yeah this is annoying. I have messed around trying to use 2x6 rafter tails but never got them to work how I want. I do the same thing as @robdyck and just use normal rafters with the appropriate size for the I-joists.

At 52.50 yrs I still feel like a rookie just about every day. Keeps things interesting!

It might have to do with your dimension rounding method / grid snap settings.

Nice...did not know this existed.

@Michael_Gia Just out of curiosity are you using X17 in project management mode or legacy mode?

This and ceiling break lines are a good case for some kind of tool-tip layer/setting. I don't know how realistic that is but could save some confusion for newer users.

Been there. If you don't know they're coming from arcs it's hard to find the setting to turn them off.

Default Settings > CAD > General CAD

I assume since the line vs box setting is in general defaults now that it's a plan-wide setting versus by floor as in previous versions. By the view would be optimal. I haven't messed with it in X17 other than try to figure out where the setting went.

Yeah I was able to kind of fix it by drawing a wall off to the side the length from the end of the railing to the peak of the ceiling plane. Then changed the new little wall section to "Roof Cuts Wall at Bottom", then center on the 2x4 wall. But as Rob said it's extremely unstable with the ceiling plane wanting to snap to places you don't want it to, etc.,.Plus I still ended up with missing drywall at the railing-wall intersection. I've learned it's usually way quicker to build a solid and move on in these situations. I wish I had all the time back I've spent chasing wall-ceiling-roof intersections around and fixing gaps in materials in Chief.

Thanks! I must have looked right past it.
