Evolution Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I keep having these simple problems pop up. I tried everything I can to figure it out, but I'm stumped! On my project, the Owner decided he wanted the detached storage / garage building to have an alternate roof for me to price. A simple "A" at 2/12 pitch. To keep from having to screw with the finished plan, I opened a new blank plan and just drew it all over, using the wall definitions I imported from my completed plan. I need a 132 wall height, (I changed it to 120 to see if that had anything to do with it, but it didn't) roof build with trusses. just one big room 25'X25'. I set up the structure, but for some reason it keeps added ceiling joist? I don't have ceiling over the room checked, I even deleted ceiling materials in the edit ceiling menu, but it keeps building the ceiling joist. I looked at all the check boxes and I'm so frustrated with such a simple thing and I can't figure it out? The plan is posted look for it between the snips (for some reason) REVISED DWG STOR BLDG..plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 I don't have a clue what in the world is going on. I did a cross section camera, and the roof height seemed too high, so I went back and checked the room DBX, and set it back to 132". I opened another cross section camera, and the wall heights still seemed too high so I pulled a dimension, and BAM!?!?! The measurement I took shows the walls are actually over 18' tall, but the room dbx shows the height I put in the structure tab, is at 132" (11') Is this a technical issue I need to send to TS?

Sorry, Eric, not sure how it got turned on in the first place, BOY AM I DUMB!, so how do I turn it off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 I did get the Roof height lowered by using transform / rep and lowering the "Z" height by the difference between the 132 I need and the 218. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn on/off in the Build Framing dialog. Thanks Eric. I don't usually build framing until I think I'm completely through with the project and won't need to make major changes. Since this was one of those times (simple storage/garage building) I went into framing mode. I still don't know how the auto-framing got turned on in the first place and thought it would be a simple button to turn it off instead of deleting. But its all good now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
