MarkSM Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 When I turn on my roof planes, I can only see the first floor roof planes. When I go to the second floor, I can only see the 2nd floor roof planes. What am I missing to be able to see it all at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Special Roof Reference Layerset is what I use. This Layerset is defined to just show Roof Planes, Ridge Caps and Roof Gutters along with the Main Wall Layer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right click on one and choose Display On Floor Above, or Display On Floor Below. Sorry Eric, that's not a very good solution - even though CA provides that ability.

I can use a Reference Set to enable this without changing where a roof plane displays? Maybe not, but that's about the only time I might use it. This is actually something that I do in a 3D perspective view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSM Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 That worked Eric. Thank you. I honestly have no idea what "roof reference layer sets" are. Im sure if/when I learn what they are, it will be life changing. Since I stared using CA a few months ago, I learn some life changing tip almost daily.

johnny Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Let me ask this of Eric and Joe - do you guys keep your roof planes on the actual level you're working and just using layerset/annosets to control the plan type or do you move them to the attic level? For me, i personally like to move them to the attic level - or the next level up if there is a lower floor area covered by roof only. I do this since i like seeing the attic walls in conjunction with the roof planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javatom Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I place them all on the same level (highest level with living space. The con docs can then have a layer set that displays the roof planes over the walls that are supporting them. I make the roof framing a separate layer set.

Joe_Carrick Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 My Roof Planes are all on the level they exist on. IOW: 1st floor roof is on level 1 2nd floor roof is on level 2 3rd floor roof is on level 3 My Roof Reference Layer Set then shows the adjacent floor's roof while the current floor's roof is also displayed.
