Howdy folks, 1st post here!

 

Is there a configuration I missed somewhere to align the ceiling joists with the roof rafters or is this something I have to do manually.

Also,where are the settings to show the blocking in the framing view? 

 

Thanks

Try using a framing reference marker with your ceiling joists and roof rafters on the same centers. Or maybe manually. :(

 

ALDO (Active Layer Display Options) is the best tool to search for and turn layers on and off.

For example I can see that the floor joists are setup correctly but I don't see the staggered blocks inbetween. What do I need to do exactly? The question was more for the frieze block between rafter/ceiling joist combo but as you can see, also applies to floor & ceiling joists. Thanks

I made some progress but now I'm stuck on the roof sort of speak. So far I've been able to add vertical blocking but it seems to be vertically aligned to the top of the rafter (ie. my rafters are 2 x 8 and the blocks are 2 x 6 - this is to allow for air circulation). How can I have the block to be seated on the wall top plate instead?
