That was easy... thanks guys!

I am trying to build a simple garage with 12' ceilings, 42" foundation wall and an 8" drop from SWT to finish floor. When I change one number is changes the others, I go back and forth and feel like I am chasing myself in circles. I must be changing a value not meant to be changed. I have got the desired results a couple times but when I click OK and go into the cross section view, it as changed back to the original values. Is there a default setting I need to overide? Also, for getting the desired stem wall height and ceiling heights am I only suppose to change the absolute values and not the relative values? This seems way more difficult than it should be, there must be a simple step I am overlooking. Thanks!

With OneDrive the file is stored in both locations. However I went into my C drive and opened the the template file directly from there and it worked. You must be correct about the OneDrive interference. Thx!

Where is the repair option? Or am I just suppose to uninstall and reinstall the program?

I keep getting an error message when opening a new plan file. I can open old files and they load fine. It says the file could not be found. I tried renaming the folder and that didn't solve anything. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

The way this program is setup I don't think it will allow me to do that. Unless you have a suggestion on how to...

Correct, that is what I meant by "as it should" The insulation will be backfilled and exposed only in a few areas where it will getting a veneer protective covering.

Heres the file sample.plan

I am trying to add 2-4" of rigid insulation to the exterior side of the foundation.I have created a new wall type. In the wall types dialog I can get it to dimension to the concrete layer but not build to concrete layer. How do I get it to build to the concrete layer so my framing on the floor above lines up as it should? For some reason its not allowing me to upload my plan file. Will try again if you need it. Thanks

Exterior dimensions to sheathing and interior dimensions to the stud? I found a misaligned wall, fixed that part thanks.

I am doing some final dimensions on this plan and I noticed that there is a 3/4" difference from the 1st floor to the basement walls. I assume it is measuring to a different layer since there are foundation walls in the basement and not on the 1st floor. When the software says it dimension to "main layer", is that refering to the sheeting/OSB?

I have an angled wall that is not showing up properly in camera view. please help. Thanks

Im not worried about the terrain at this point. The bump out in the front is not giving me any issues. Its the rear elevation that I posted about that I am trying to fix. I did the pony wall in order to do the step foundation but maybe that is not the best use for this situation?

Well now i feel dumb. I swear I checked that before asking the question. Thanks again Eric!

Im trying to build a 12" energy heel into my trusses and it all was good until I noticed in my cross section that it is making the wall go all the way up to the bottom of the top chord. I would like it to have the trusses bottom chord bear on the double top plate which is the norm. Grit_13.plan

I figured it out. I had created "box based" lines in CAD. These can not be broken. I had to redraw the "box based" as "poly-line based"

I tried that too. doesn't work

I am trying to complete my detailed cross section but the break line feature isn't working. What am I doing wrong. Thanks!

sorry, I geuss I'm not understanding where the saved camera goes after it is saved? Does it just save it within the plan file? It doesnt create a new file to save

ok so i got it to show the wall framing members. But can I save this image so I can edit it and add labels without affecting the plan file?

yes back clipped cross section. Also I cant get the "save active camera" to do anything. I click on the button and nothing happens

I can get it to show floor framing but not the top and bottom plates of the walls. I checked all the boxes for framing sill plates

I am not getting the framing shown in these cross sections I clicked on auto build framing but its not showing up? Am I doing something wrong?
