Why did I get more rungs, no busses and a sideways ladder?

What is this stuff? Why did I get more rungs, no busses and a sideways ladder? Could you people possibly make things any more difficult?

How about answering the question instead of editing my comment? If your program worked there would be no violations.

See the included images with this message, as to how my settings are for my rungs, and the result.

The settings in the dialog box need to be set right for the desired result. You can customize every setting from number of rungs to spacing and desired content, depending on what you would like to set up.

One thing I see in you screenshot is that you have setup Horizontal rungs, Is this intentional?

I see that you using the AutoCAD electrical template which is set Vertical rungs in the NFPA demo project.

Vertical Rungs

Set under drawing properties

Horizontal Rungs

Set under drawing properties

Also, what are the dimensions of you title block?

Can you post the sample drawing so we can take a look.
