Also you don't need to zip your .plan if it is all you are including in an attachment

I actually don't follow what the issue mightve been in the first method, can you illustrate it with a plan?

@EvolutionDid you try setting your walls in the first method to "no locate"?

Mark has it right, your monitor is running off of the intel card, not the 1060...check for firmware updates, check options for software choosing the video card....check options in geforce experience app, you may need additional software/firmware/forceware etc.

Yes thank you Ridge, Rob, gonna take some time to think this through, I'll come back to this, nice sections for sure!

Did you confirm that your 1060 is active..might also want to put your machine in performance mode, a lot of throttling built into your system

I'd have to ask you a slew of questions about your workflow and how you do your CD's...maybe post a complete plan and layout file and I could better suggest. heres a short vid I made, having audio problems, excuse the audio: 2019-07-09 14-57-40.mp4

the DBX shown is for the plane highlighted in pink. here is the other plane:

this help? it's not perfect, I could've busted out my calculator..I'll leave you to that...but its damn close. the other plane is -15 baseline angle with a ridge height of 100 and slope of -12 as shown.

worked on this for 5 minutes.. reduced the bump significantly on the tile ceiling, it was far too heavy adjusted all square lights to 200 lumens and set to have a slight yellow color set sun to 60000 L and applied a slight yellow color. changed backdrop..too much green, reflects into the room and tints all surfaces green. increased exposure and brightness, checked "improve lighting"

as I mentioned, you will need to adjust the baseline angle to match the slope of your roof which is 15 degrees. then set your slope of the "soffit" roof plane to the degree you want, like -12 etc.

Just remember you will need to adjust the "baseline" angle at the inverse gable ("V") side of the soffit

yup..give this man a +1

FYI Chief locating the My Documents Folder is simply that, it locates the folder for default settings which would store data at that location. As soon as you relocate your Data folder CA no longer looks to your My Docs folder...there is no need to mess with it

voted for floor structure, too many potential probs putting into the finish IMO. will you be incorporating your joists into the panels or a girder system under?

On X-11 now I use notes and a note schedule. There are a ton of different ways to do this, I personally use a method that most people won't adopt, as I find that most people place their details in CAD detail management. You can renumber your details whenever you delete a redundant one. You can even draw an invisible arrow from the note to the CAD detail to have the note populate the CAD details name in the text field. I personally number my sheets with a note/schedule so that all of my details auto number and auto page.

Keep in mind if you aren't using the method that I illustrate it can be very easy for one system to try to write to a folder at the same time as another system causing authoring issues. This can happen in a number of different ways...sync delay, sync errors can cause the user library not to sync at close of the program, then when you open your CA on the other machine it will use the previous library build causing you to lose your work or have conflicting and different copies of a library database. It won't matter if you are using different cloud folders so long as you are trying to sync the same library across two machines. Machine A needs CA to be shut down and the user library completely uploaded and confirmed in your cloud sync before you open machine B's CA. This can be very time consuming if you have a library that is over a gig on a slow connection...If for some reason you have a sync issue then Machine B will sometimes see a user library as locked and save its user library as "user library_machineB.calib"...making it unusable at next boot since CA will only look for "user library", and so you've lost your work.

Keep them on the second floor, you can adjust offsets in the fixture's open-object dbx. You can also edit offset in 2d sections or 3d space. The delete surface tool an d convert to symbol tools can help you if you have a fixture with a base built for a flat ceiling.

Running the data folder on a cloud sync is very problematic for a number of reasons...I would advise against it. You can however point your toolbars to the same folder as well as hotkeys etc..using the same methods for syncing libraries. Check my symbols and content thread in my sig...I go over a method for syncing libraries that a few people have had success with in an office environment.

Just to clarify, are you saying that the icon .png(image) files of each individual toolbar tool is different across two computers, or are you saying that the toolbar configuration(layout/orientation) is different?

Try deleting a light and hitting undo maybe post a .plan file with your camera saved and called out so we can take a look

.png is lossless, but it will not maintain scale the way the PDF does. You will have to use the point to point resize tool and lock the images ratio.

nice, thank you, +1

Buy Joe's macros and try and discern the logic, it helps me when I am creating a script. I don't remember if Joe offer's training or not, I know @Alaskan_Son does..well worth the investment in time savings if you're doing more than 10 drawings a year. Also take a look through @BrownTiger 's old posts as well as @GerryT, these guys know their stuff

Used CA to organize my ridiculous garage, in hopes of finally being able to park my winter car in it..happy so far, thanks CA..maybe now people will stop trying to tow it for sitting all summer
