Are you still a student, and this is an AutoCAD class but you have AutoCAD Architecture (reference to you other posting), or are you working, and this is a job you are doing using AutoCAD Architecture? In AutoCAD Architecture, you can find multiple wall styles in the Content Browser (more Wall tools from the Design palette) that already have siding and studs and gypsum, and you can assign a shingle material to the siding component of that wall style. If you are working, you definitely want to go that route. However, if you're in an AutoCAD class, you probably should stick to the AutoCAD only tools. If you are having trouble understanding which is which, you can go to Options/Profile and switch to the one that says just AutoCAD, and you will no longer see the Architectural tools. To find Profiles, right click on the command line, or go to the big A and select Options.
If you want to learn the product on your own, two excellent books on AutoCad Architecture 2010 are Paul Aubin's Mastering AutoCAD Architecture 2010 and William Wyatt's Accessing AutoCAD Architecture 2010.
What am I doing wrong? I used trim to remove the unwanted lines, but it was time consuming and I,m sure there is a better way! Thanks folks!
