Reset to Defaults

Select Edit> Reset to Defaults to open the Reset to Defaults dialog.

This dialog allows you to clear the special settings you have made in various parts of your plan.

The settings can be cleared for the current floor or for All Floors.

Floor and Ceiling Heights - Floor and ceiling heights for any room can be changed in the Room Specification dialog. Check to reset the default values as specified in the Floor Defaults dialog. See "Floor Defaults".

Roof Groups - You can designate a different roof group for a room in the Room Specification dialog. This builds the roof over this room and others in the same roof group independently from the roof built over other parts of the plan. Check to reset to the default roof group, zero. See "Room Specification Dialog".

Roof Directives - You can set directives describing how a roof surface rises from a wall into a wall using the Roof tab of the Wall Specification dialog. All Roof tab items are unchecked and any value, such as the roof pitch, is reset to the default pitch. See "Wall Specification Dialog".

Wall Top Heights and Wall Bottom Heights - Wall shape and height can be edited in cross section/elevation views. Check to reset wall shapes and heights.

If your plan behaves strangely, the current settings may have been brought forward from a previous version and/or no longer be appropriate. To check for this, open your plan and reset these items to their defaults. Rebuild floors and ceilings to see if the plan looks better. If so, you know what the problem is. Rather than save your plan at this point and lose all these settings, you may want to investigate and find the specific settings causing the problem and fix only those.
