brian-sdesign Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I've got a few nagging problems that I cant seem to figure out. First, whenever I switch to an overview (for example full ortho overview), the model is off the screen and sometimes its hard to find. When I do find it the orbit is messed up and I have to use the focus on object function before It is usable. I suspect I have an object out in space somewhere that is throwing off the extents but I have been unable to find anything. Any tips on how to fix this? Second, my cursor is stuck showing the build terrain icon next to the mouse pointer. This stays on despite the fact that Im not building terrain. Choosing another tool does not change it.. seems kind of buggy but its most likely user error. Lastly I have my roof structure set to 2X12 joists. But when I cut a section the roof thickness is less than 11.25". Some of the roofs are correct and some are not. Is there some other setting that would be affecting this? In framing overview I can see that the bottom of the joists are cut out as if its trimming to something. I have attached the model in case someone wants to take a look. The roof depth problem is over the master bedroom. Thanks a bunch guys and girls! Kintz Residence Current2.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 You have an object in the hinterlands. Turn all layers on, then do a select all for each level, you will find that you have something located in Mumbai. Delete that object and then the overview camera will behave.

brian-sdesign Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 thanks that did the trick there. I've got another one though. The window headers are getting framed too low and into the window area. a pdf image is attached window hdr problem.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I bet you need to rebuild framing. I ALWAYS HAVE AUTO FRAMING ON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian-sdesign Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 okay, it looks like ive got bigger problems than I thought. somehow all my floor heights jumped when I built my framing. This is not looking good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian-sdesign Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 I went back to a previous version and my floor heights are good. As soon as I try to build floor framing my heights jump. Any ideas? I guess I have learned that auto framing needs to be kept on. I thought I was keeping it simple by turning it off until I needed it. Dohh!

If you don't post a plan, I ain't guessing and I doubt there are too many others who will spend their valuable time guessing to help you solve your problem. Please post your current plan.

JJohnson Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Second, my cursor is stuck showing the build terrain icon next to the mouse pointer. This stays on despite the fact that Im not building terrain. Choosing another tool does not change it.. seems kind of buggy but its most likely user error. Go to 3D View Defaults Dialog, there are several ways to get there. Check the box at Auto Rebuild Terrain to get rid of that symbol. It means something in the terrain was changed but terrain has not been rebuilt is all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian-sdesign Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 I was able to get rid of the cursor issue. I had to go choose build terrain, then choose something else. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian-sdesign Posted July 28, 2016 Author Share Posted July 28, 2016 I'm still baffled why my floor elevations jump when I try to build the floor framing. If anyone wants to take a look, open the file in post#1, take a look at an ortho overview, then build the floor framing and watch what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark3D Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 You have the terrain elevation data out of wack and chief is getting very confuse it cause weird problems your elevation lines crossing elevation regions they can not cross must be seperate give that a try it is working so much better after i fixed that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian-sdesign Posted July 29, 2016 Author Share Posted July 29, 2016 Okay, I did notice that and fixed it by deleting the two terrain countour lines, thanks. Im still getting the same problem though.. floor heights jump when building floor framing and headers show up in the middle of windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark3D Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 have you checked build wall framing or checked auto build as it seems to me that you might have turned the layer layer on but not told cheif build it as i am not getting the problem here with your headers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark3D Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 i am not seeing floor height jump with framing do you have latest video card drivers, or can you show image of the resault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
