Douglas49 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Thanks Steve Enjoyed the video which I learn't from. Good techniques which were clearly explained. I also liked the attention to detail. Accuracy has greater priority over speed. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumbleChief Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Nice video Steve and really appreciate your other video as well. You presented some options I hadn't thought of. Quick question about this technique - is there any reason you can't create a new wall type that is just screen for the attic wall? It seems to work OK on a plan I was messing with but curious how it might mix with your custom screen walls. You would still have to create beams and posts but could save a step perhaps? Again, thanks for the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, thanks for the video. Larry - you are right. I could have created a wall type for the gable wall that was a single layer of screen. Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t believe using a wall...and not a railing wall for the screen porch is a good idea. You would have to use P-Solids for all the posts and bottom and mid rails...never mind any customization. If anything changed you’d be moving all the solids one at a time. Very tedious. You could use a molding line and create the beam and rails fairly quickly...but then when you go to place the door...you’d have to break the molding line. Just too tedious. Nothing beats using panels with railing walls walls for a screen porch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah those panels with railing walls are a sweet solution... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Years ago (maybe version X3) I posted a thread using the same technique for Storefront Window Walls. It was in the old CT Forum so I don't have access to it any more. IAE. the procedure was almost identical, just using glass instead of screen.
