    X3 Auto Deck Framing Question

    I have auto deck framing tuned off in default settings. I have automatic framing turned off in all tabs for all framing. Under room specifications I have everything auto set to off.
    I adjust deck joist directions as needed, show a framing overview and all deck joists are back to where they were before editing. I’m lost…..Is there another auto setting I’m missing? Maybe there is one, but if not, it would be nice to have a “universal” all auto off switch

    I just had the same problem. There was a set of deck beams that I added and and I had stretched them to the house. They just would not stay put. The program kept asking me if I want to turn off auto deck framing, I would say yes. The changes would last for a couple of minutes and then voila, they had shrunk back down.

    I also went though all my default lists and everywhere I could think of, turning off auto framing. I finally just left them until I was ready to print. I stretched them and they printed fine, but moments later they had shrunk again.

    Post the plans if you can. There's several different things that could be happening. I know you say that you have auto deck framing off everywhere, but........... a setting somewhere is causing the deck framing to rebuild.
    Are the room types "Deck"?
    If the the room type is something other than "Deck" & you have auto framing on.............We're just guessing w/out being able to see it.
