  1. Not sure I understand this request, you cannot make a 2d image from a 3d shape that would be of any reasonable use. I would suggest you grab a texture that is a .png file-because it can convey clipping areas(see-through/transparent)- the circles themselves would be the only 2d content within the image file, the background would be removed(no white) A chain-link fence type material may suffice, try a google image search with the parameter "filetype:png" at the end of your search terms
  2. It actually doesn't blend colors as the name would suggest, at least not to my findings...it complete replaces the color..something like in the presence of something other than black, 255, 255, 255 replace all other color values with the color picked
  3. Think I just figured it out, closets can be considered un-occupied accessory area, therefore reasonably not bound to the minimum clear width requirement
  4. Trying to determine if a closet door serving a closet greater than 10 sq. ft. is required to have a 32" clear width...anyone know?
  5. This is how it should be IMO, unfortunately some textures like stucco do not follow this structure
  6. For anyone that finds this thread, you can always place a CAD point: CAD/Points/Place Point- and then Edit/Edit Behaviors/Enable Rotate/Resize About Current Point-
  7. POST 27 A video showcasing some methods for creating your Con-docs entirely in .plan I'm only a month away from my wedding date and have had some crazy personal breakthroughs in the search for family and also a very large tragedy; so new content will be at a slow crawl for the time being...hopefully I will ramp up again in June..stay tuned CLICK ME TO GO BACK TO THE INDEX!!!
  8. Yes thank you , select similar...and yes just discovered the match props part too..slightly annoying, ha
  9. As the title says, couldn't get marquee select to work on headers..is this feature missing?
  10. Might need to create this yourself...or ping the master Joe...you can do it with landings connected to each other which will give you greater control
  11. Also for anyone seeing this thread, you can double click the select objects tool: to get to your plan defaults and make sure "show living area label" is checked
  12. See this article: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00285/restoring-the-living-area-label.html Also, what Scott and Joe are saying are correct, though changing a floor area to conditioned on level 0 will still not produce an area label. For this particular case, instead of adding a new foundation level 0, simply add a macro to report the area of your ground zero...there are many different ways of doing this

  14. Off topic but on topic I made a sign for just such occasions and uploaded it a while ago :
  15. https://www.legitreviews.com/intel-optane-memory-tested-with-secondary-hard-drive_205254/4 check the last page of that article...to answer your question, yes this is a newly added feature of the optane implementation
  16. optane ($40-70) is a cache for your slow spinning hard drive(7200 HDD). In laymans terms it will make it function closer to speeds of an SSD drive
  17. thats a nice system for the price, might be worth getting an optane add on card for the SATA drive
  18. I actually do my con-docs in .plan now,title sheet, sheet index, revisions, everything but clouds.... Layout is just a vessel for the print job...layout is so slow compared to .plan
  19. yes...it would be great to have a better understanding of what's going on behind the scenes of CA. Why certain actions cause lag, why a PDF sent to plan and then that plan sent to layout makes layout almost un-manageable...vs just sending the pdf to layout. Why the system lags with certain camera views open while editing in .plan. Our solution is the only solution that seems viable...throw better hardware at it..which hardware?...all hardware I only have my user library in RAM because I don't have enough space for the manu's and bonus ...the difference is very apparent, especially on high poly count items in preview.
  20. and to be clear about my setup, I installed CA onto my RAMdisk..I don't know which part of this setup is making it fast exactly, but I can tell you that me desktop was by and far much faster in CA than the surface book 2 I have listed in my sig..same as the old ASUS laptop I have..it flies
  21. Completely agree...and to be clear...clock speeds make next to no difference in my experience in CA. also about the RAMdisk...I see great improvement in holding my libraries in RAM...makes me giggle.
  22. Stuffed my desktop PC into this lil case You don't see it from the front
  23. My XEON is overclocked because it is water cooled, on heavy renders in an external program my 1070 card produces crazy amounts of heat and heats up every component around it so I do not overclock it. Just an FYI I have on many occasions run a 24 hour render in Thea which uses all CPU cores and the gfx card. Thats 22 cores @ 100% and gfx at 100% for 24 straight hours. I had to modify my cases fan layouts...120mm fans always work best(noise/performance/longevity) The major reason you build a cpu yourself is for the motherboard- better pci lane construction and implementation, better layout of CPU/RAM/m.2 (closer together). Better handling of power, better UEFI, more options(fan speed controllers, dual booting, flashing, overclocking, undervolting, list goes on)
