mpatalsky Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Can anyone tell me when you use the align below on the first floor I get fractions like 15/16"? It should be whole numbers. Thanks, Mike 04082020.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Mike 04082020.plan It's not 15/16 it's 49/50 and it appears caused by the housewrap layer in your wall definition, which is set to 0 but evidently has a 1/100" thickness. Delete the housewrap layer and it dimensions like you're expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb222 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Or if you want to leave the HW just change that dimension's primary format smallest fraction to 1/1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb222 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Or change the HW thickness to 1/8" and the air gap to 7/8" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpatalsky Posted April 8, 2020 Author Share Posted April 8, 2020 I've never had that issue before. Thanks for the fix Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Or change the "dimension to" layer in your wall definition to the studs instead of the house wrap. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This issue has been around for a long time. Since I don't use the materials list, I've deleted the house wrap in all my exterior walls that call for it in my template plan.

robdyck Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 It's also VERY helpful to use a layer set that has MAIN LAYER ONLY checked when producing and editing dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimension to layer was set to studs. The software introduced a thickness to the house wrap in spite of it being set to zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The house-wrap is NOT set to zero OOB. It only shows zero out of necessity when you have your Number Style set to fractional inches. You can however manually change it to be truly zero by manually entering zero. . I oftentimes switch my Number Style to decimal inches so that I can better see the actual dimensions.

CharlesVolz Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I leave the sheathing as 7/16" and make the housewrap 1/16". This better reflects true life and makes most wall thicknesses "even" numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
