Moose13 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Good morning - I'm a former user of CA X2 and I forget how to turn this layer off. I'm looking to only show the roof rafters and T&G sheathing. Please advise......thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 That is the "Ceiling side of the roof in a vault situation. You can not really turn that layer on or off but you can make it invisible to reveal what is behind. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose13 Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 Hi David - If memory serves me well, I believe you helped me quite often in my CA days. How do I turn that layer invisible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solver Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I imagine things have changed since X2 9 hours ago, Moose13 said: I forget how to turn this layer off It's right there in Display Options -- it will be obvious. Maybe something in this video too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose13 Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 Hi Eric - I don't see anything that would be labeled that layer. If I make roof planes invisible, it will take it away but, also the roof shingles and sheathing. I'll mess around with the options in your video. Thank you!!!

y-g-m-n Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Try turning off the CEILING planes to see rafters or roof plane since you have a vaulted ceiling the rafters are sandwiched in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Have you tried setting the ceiling thickness to "0""? That should eliminate the materials and leave the framing showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good morning - I turned off ceiling planes, and locked them, from the start. The layer I marked with the red X is part of the roof plane. If I turn off roof planes, the roof shingles, sheathing, and that white layer will all disappear. Thank you anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solver Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 The video linked above shows what Keith suggested. Set your Ceiling Finish to 0". A bit more info ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Eric - I do have those settings setup as you described. I remember having this same issue when I was an avid user of CA X2. It took me months to get the defaults setup in there to do exactly what I wanted for every plan. Long story short, I lost 10 years of work on X2. The rendering I'm showing here is just a design I'm thinking of doing at our new house. It was done mostly with the slab tool which I know can confuse the software as to what's what. Later today, I'll try to attach the file on here so you can see what I have. Thank you again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
