tahoebrian5 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Well I keep trying to set all my framing defaults and when I click done, then open up defaults again many of my changes did not stay put. I'm attempting to make sure none of my layers are locked. What am I missing his time? You guys have been great today! This would be much harder without you guys. If anyone ever needs any help with structural design issues just let me know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone ever needs any help with structural design issues just let me know. Can you be more specific as to which defaults you're changing? And perhaps make some of the changes you've described and attach the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahoebrian5 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 For example, under framing defaults, beams. It is stuck on LVL 1.75x11 7/8. I change it to 6x12 lumber and click done. Then when I go back to defaults it's changed back to LVL. I'll post the plan in a second post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone ever needs any help with structural design issues just let me know. I am having the same problem. I cannot change the default post. roof beam and floor beam sizes. I think this is a bug, please report it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it a try Michael, maybe you can figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 This is a bug in the X8 beta. If you try to change any of the post or beam defaults through the Framing Defaults or Build Framing dialog, the changes might not stick. This should be fixed in the next available update. For now, the easiest way to avoid this problem is to edit the post and beam defaults directly by double-clicking on either the post or beam tool. In the future, I would encourage you to report these kinds of issues to our technical support team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Give it a try Michael, maybe you can figure it out. I haven't downloaded X8 yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tahoebrian5 Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thanks Dermot, I'm hesitant to report anything because it's almost a given that my problems are new user issues. The odds of me actually finding a bug... Well I guess I should have bought a lottery ticket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
