Much of what I have been using SP for lately has been developing wall framing plans for our panel shop.
I've seen a couple of things that I cant figure out.
With framing plans, I need to have accurate placement, length, size, location of openings etc.
After drawing floor layout, selecting the framing tab, often, but not always, my wall plates are 'exploded'. That is, the plates attached to the studs,(not the top or bottom most plate) are separated from the wall, up and down. They also show in the attached section. The plate across the dormers belongs on the "knee wall" that the roof sits on. The top plates of the dormer gable walls are there also. In the lower floor, you can see where the bottom plate is up to the under side of the window. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to when it happens. It happens to some walls and not others drawn with the same wall definition.
If I try to erase them, the wall is erased.
In the framing mode, I can move them where they belong.
Any ideas as to what I'm doing to get this situation?
The second question. Is there a way to build/draw an interior wall that has a raked top up to a flat ceiling, across that flat ceiling, then raked back down, without inserting breaks and then raking the tops of the angle top wall section. With the breaks, openings cant be inserted where they need to be.
The attached show an interior wall with the two breaks, but I need doors there. And I would like them to show on framing diagrams as one continuous wall.
I'd appreciate any input
Thanks

Like the look of the new forum. And looking forward to 2016. The program, I can wait for the year.
