rlackore Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 My problem is with a deck on an as-built. Different sections of the deck have the planking running in different directions, so I divided the deck into three rooms. See this picture: The selected room has the plank running the correct way. The other two sections need the plank rotated 90 degrees. However, no matter what settings I use in the Deck tab of the Room Specification dbx, I can't get the plank orientation to change. In the ortho camera view, I can't even select the other two deck rooms - why, I would like to know. Any help would be appreciated. Plan attached: 14044.plan I have to go buy a mouse now because my Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX has failed. This is the second MX I've burned through in two years. I can't recommend them, though when they are working, they perform really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis_Gavin Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Scott Hall did a video on this exact thing not too long ago. You may want to search the archives under deck framing or planking or maybe Scott will chime in shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution dshall Posted November 4, 2014 Solution Share Posted November 4, 2014 This is frustrating and silly, but here is the sollution..... change the planking THICKNESS for each deck. Deck#1 has 1.5" planking, deck #2 has 1.40" planking and deck #3 has 1.6" thick planking. Keep the deck joists at the same level, but there will be essentially an imperceptible step from deck to deck of about 0.1". Frustrating, but it works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 That's absurd. Clearly a bug. However, I appreciate the workaround. Thank you, Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
