I've made a 2x10 framing member with the CP tool. I've broken the rectangle into 4 triangular pieces so I can get the "X" in the middle of the rectangle. Problem is, when I cut a section and if it happens to be in the middle of the framing member, I get an unwanted line in the middle of the member. This line is there, I believe, because it's the point where the 4 triangles come together. Is there a way to do this to not show the line? I found a 2x framing member in the stock libraries, but it does the same thing when cut through, also I don't like it because you can't set the lineweight of the "X" different from the outer edges. What have others done here?
Theres no shame in keeping complex profiles simple. Just draw a rectangle as the complex profile and create a stamp to show the cross if you must.
Theres also no shame in drawing the odd line or to. Some purists may disagree, but while they are off sipping coffee some person is actually trying to produce documentation that can be of use.
Any tool regardless of it it falls under BIM or 2d drafting is there to make your life a little bit easier..... not totally automated.
If your learning your trade then take a drawing out on a site and ask what the builder thinks of it?? Theyll soon tell you.
Interact with other people and remember perfection will backfire on you.

There's nothing wrong with perfection 
OK, another update.
The joist is now Floor Plan Cut Plane sensitive. That is automatically dashed when the joist is above the FPCP. Even on other stories is will work correctly. (set Floor Plan and Section to show on other stories).
The information like Area, Mass, Elastic Modus, Plastic Modus and Radius of Gyration is generated automatically.
Now tell me that Objective does this too?
Stephen: You can get the cuts you want if you set the cutting type to 'along horizontal axis' (only with the corner on the axis line) and the graining in 3D has been solved.

Still looking?
