Larry_Sweeney Posted Tuesday at 09:38 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:38 PM I was going to submit a VERY simple plan to a thread I started earlier today. All it comprised of was one single roof plane with shadow boards on the eave and gable ----- nothing else. When I backed up the entire plan it had 87 reference files and the plan was 22 megs. Can anyone explain to me in "old timer layman's terms" what the H--- is going on and how to fix this. Thankyou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark3D Posted Tuesday at 10:14 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:14 PM Just upload the plan chieftalk probly does not need all those files just plan if it’s still to large try zipping or compress, if you just having problems with roof or other 3d model issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted Tuesday at 11:02 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:02 PM When you use the Backup Entire Plan tool, it saves the Plan File, any referenced Plan files, any image files being used in the plan (materials, plants, billboards, picture boxes, etc.), and any PDF files saved in your plan. The vast majority of the referenced files are usually images being used in the various materials being used in your plan (including those being used in your various defaults). When sharing a plan here in the forum for troubleshooting you typically don't need all those referenced files so a simple plan file is all that's needed (unless of course your troubleshooting issue has to do with one of those materials or referenced files). The backup folder is really intended more specifically for times when you're trying to collaborate with another user who needs all those various files. Does that make sense?

Larry_Sweeney Posted Wednesday at 01:04 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 01:04 AM Michael...................I "think" I understand, but this was a brand new plan with only one roof plane and three different shadow boards. Two are on the gable and one on the eave. That's all that is in the plan. I don't understand with only those items I can get 87 reference files attached to the plan.

In addition to every material being used by your roof plane (shingles, underlayment, framing, etc.) you're also seeing every material used for you various wall types, materials used in your cabinet defaults, and any other Plan Materials you may be using.

Gawdzira Posted Wednesday at 05:00 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:00 AM Generally, a 22mb file will send by email. If you want, send it to me and I will post it as a dropbox link for your other thread. alan@lehmandesignstudio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_Sweeney Posted Wednesday at 03:07 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 03:07 PM Alan...............I downloaded Dropbox, made a sample plan showing my "shadow board" problem and sent it to the thread I've been asking for a solution in. I had used Dropbox many years ago, but somewhere along the "way" it got deleted. After you mentioned it in your thread above I thought I'd give it a try again. Hope it works for me. Have a great day.

Mark3D Posted Wednesday at 11:46 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 11:46 PM Have a look at this see if it would be moving in the right direction it is using the same molding on all edges and it is a bit tricky but doable 604287320_Sample1.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_Sweeney Posted Thursday at 02:16 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 02:16 AM Mark...........................Yes, I had thought of using a molding p-line for the drip edge, but you still need to deal with the shingles above and on a complicated roof it could/would be a real PITA. Thank you and all the others in this thread for taking time to try and solve this ---- much appreciated. I think I'll send it in to support to see what they say. Have a great day.

For shingle overhang use a shadow mold just a square or anything then place on layer and turn off that should get shingles out to drip edge i don’t know if you know there is a new tool for moving 3d molding in 3d space called select edit plane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark3D Posted Thursday at 03:10 AM Share Posted Thursday at 03:10 AM Actualy the more i think about this i got better results just entering the roof pitch in the molding dialog and using transform replicate to move the whole molding up and down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_Sweeney Posted Thursday at 03:01 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 03:01 PM Mark.........................I did forget about the 3D edit plane. I plan on "playing around" with your ideas/advice, along with Alan's input in another thread, later today. This morning, I have some commitments I must attend too. Thanks for all your knowledge/advice-------------much appreciated. Have a great day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
