marklcc Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Is there somewhere you can set the default sill plate material to something different than the default framing material? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chopsaw Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 That would make a great addition to the feature list as a suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep , I am not sure you can even set it to Treated Material like you can with Posts and Beams if needed?. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M. I believe that sill plates are nominated as treated by default and the only way to get them untreated is to change them after they are drawn. If there are more than 2 sill plates specified, only the bottom one will be nominated as treated and the others above will be nominated as untreated. You can, of course, change the bottom one to untreated as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they are default as treated for the material list where do you set the default texture (material) for 3D illustration. Just another chief inconsistency.

glennw Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Chopsaw, Without going looking, I think the sill plates adopt the default Framing material texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct , I should of been clearer in that post , as CS mentioned there is no place to assign a material but strangely this is not needed for Deck framing or posts and beams, check the treated box ( same as in the Sill Plate's DBX ) and they automatically use the Treated Texture , not the standard Framing Material, the Sill Plates do not, even though the box is checked by default.

Yes, No need to look as that is the sad reality of the present situation. Painting always required ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
