tjsage1 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 I tried building a ext. wall and removing the lower section, then moving the upper section up into place, breaking the lines and stretching. I will try it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robdyck Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 How about early morning entertainment? Take a look at the adjustments... BILLY-CA1.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjsage1 Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 Good morning robdyck, and thanks a lot. When this little project is complete, I will know where I need more training. Why would I continue to lose some items like the deck post @ the two story entrance. I have rebuilt them often, mostly after a re-rendering? Thanks again for the help. I'll be looking for a training video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have rebuilt them often, mostly after a re-rendering? Thanks again for the help. I'll be looking for a training video. With a deck, it's critical to understand that it behaves a bit differently than other rooms. "Decks" work best when used for a typical deck...framing and deck planks. Keep in mind that the auto frame feature is really only useful for visualization and if Auto-Frame is on, it'll rebuild the framing as per its defaults, even if you edit it. Turning off the auto-framing for decks is NOT reliable. To avoid that problem, use a different room type like a balcony. There are better ways to show the framing (if you need to) than the deck auto-framing tools. If you double-click the deck beam I put in your plan, you'll notice it's a General Framing member, placed on deck beam layer, and shown in the schedule as a deck beam. I do that so that Chief will leave it alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rgardner Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 BTW a quick tip that does help with those scissor vaulted porches. Someone on here shared this a while back. Don't remember who but THANKS to whoever it was: 1 way of many to do it: Setup Ceiling planes in that "Deck Room" and set the vault/height/etc. Pull it out to the edge of that wall instead of the inside of the attic wall which will cut the exterior wall that way. I don't do them that often but I remember this method seemed to work how I wanted it to on that project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
