Hello everyone, i have created an automatic hexagonal deck and another custom deck. With automatic framing checked, the framing is not generated apart from planking and railing. What could be the issue? Thank you.

The issue is "Layers" and the fact that there are several "Display Options" Dialogs (Most newer users do not know this fact), there is a different "Layer Display Options" dialog for plan view, Reference Display, and each camera type has its own "Display Options" Dialog. They all look identical but they are certainly not. So you can order "ON" certain layers in plan view, then create a camera view and in the ordered camera view those layer objects you could see in plan view are missing in the camera view. They key to this is knowing that all "Display Options" Dialogs are not the same, Check and you will see that if missing in one "Display Options" Dialog it is simply a matter of finding the offending layer and turning it "ON" in that layer set.

      No Deck Cantilever & Deck Joist direction
      By country
      Is there any way to set the defaults so the deck support beam and posts are not stepped back for a cantilever?  I never have a cantilever and usually have a roof over the deck so require supports directly under the roof supports.  This situation comes up on almost every plan I draw.
      I also would like to know if there is a way to frame the deck in at 90 degrees when it is wrapped around a corner.  The program always puts the joist direction the same even when I split the spaces up but maybe I am just not doing something in the correct order.

      Deck Framing Not Framing Right
      By capitaldesigns
      I'm new to CA,
       
      I was following along with the new deck video on CA website. When I do the deck framing it does not frame right.
      In the video it comes out correctly.
       
      We are adding a deck to a one story raised foundation house. The house is already framed. When I generate the
      deck framing the rim joist of the house is moved back to the inside face of the stem wall. The deck floor joists are
      resting on the sill plate of the house and the house floor joist are now off of the foundation. In the video the house
      rim joist remain where it should be (aligned with the outside face of the stem wall) and the deck floor joist are hanging
      off of the house rim joist.
       
      Does anyone know how to correct this?
       
      Thanks,

      Can't Select Deck Framing Components
      By MTL-Homes
      For some reason I suddenly can't select deck framing components ie: beams, posts, joists on my current plan in 2d view to modify them.  Can select them in 3d. Never had this problem before
