    probably meant default CA layers like "Cabinets, Countertops" vs user created. ..and yes you are correct about system layers

    3 Bay Area guys were riding in a car; a hardware technician, a systems analyst and a programmer. The systems analyst is driving and when they come to a steep hill he finds that the brakes have failed and the car is accelerating out of control. So, he pumps the emergency brake, downshifts the gears, and rubs the wheels against the curb. He finally wrestles the car to a stop. The three climb out and assess the situation. Hardware tech: "Let's try and fix it. I'll crawl under the car and take a look." Systems analyst: "No. I think we should get someone qualified to fix it, a specialist in brakes." Programmer: "Why don't we just get back in and see if it happens again?

    I typically try and build my own 3d models if they seem simple enough so that I own the creation completely, though in a pinch 3d warehouse can be a very quick way of getting an item. I will say I find a ton of items at 3dwarehouse that have artifacts or explode in a difficult fashion or the material IDs are missing or wrong...pain in the butt. Any particular light you were looking for? BTW this track light is in a large group of lighting symbols upload for my symbols and content page. You can find it in my signature

    May get to this next week as I have a packed schedule day and night until tuesday...looks good. What is the second texture supposed to be applied to, need some context. will it be applied to something massive so it needs to be tiled, or will it be applied to something small so it can be stretched? Appreciate it Zowie, great compliment...thank you, love that!

    Kind've interesting- you can put your user library in the core catalog folders and have it show up in user library as a duplicate
  12. Renerabbitt
    do you still have the libraries on your computer in any other version?

    CA left a bit of humor in their data folder..

    The term gradients was used incorrectly in the video. Just different shades of grey. Yes made in photoshop with the paint bucket tool.. simple solid colors. I used a Gradient from black to white as my ambient occlusion map for gyp. bd walls less than 10' tall- that is included in the kitchen material starter pack. You can post an image file here, else if for some reason your files are too large you can share with onedrive/backup and sync/dropbox etc.

    ahh, yeah +1

    Deleting your third floor should fix it..not sure if you had any useful info on that floor

    How about collecting a few textures you would like so I have some content to work with I always appreciate your mentions and feedback Ken, you've responded to nearly all of my symbol posts in past, thank you.

    I make most maps in PS CC from modifying images I find from google image searches. I could teach my methods if I had interested people familiar with photoshop. Alternatively I will make requested files, time permitting, if you have a particular texture you are looking for? Occasionally I modify CA files but they are really lightweight- low resolution, which I don't use very often

    Can't find where in my defaults I reference a particular layer. Layer display options shows that it is used in a default. Is there an easier way to finding this rather than digging through every option in CA? Looking to delete this layer and I can't
  20. Renerabbitt
    I deleted as well, cept for now I have no reference when I think I've found a bug
  21. Renerabbitt
    I appreciate that you do this every time..tedious work, thank you!
  22. Renerabbitt
    Auto dimensions can be set to auto-update....so with a custom layer set that sets the auto-dimension lines to light grey and set your selection line in color preferences to a neon color- works pretty well for takeoffs

    I still feel like I don't know how to use this software at all, isn't that funny after 20 years of using it. Always laughing at the funny/dumb stuff that happens in CA daily...when I'm driving I had a way of thinking that I used to inject into my construction crews back when I had them- in summation, if I share my resources, the act of sharing will teach me new things, and the new perspective from the person learning may bring an improvement to the method. It's embarrassing to put a vid out and then have someone tell you their is a faster method...but the embarrassment, so far, has been worth it. Like "oh wait, there's a button in CA that would save me 4 hours and it's been there for 5 years! ARGH!!!!!!"

    That was about the most ADD-riddled Video I've ever made, HAHA! ...thanks Graham I appreciate it. After reviewing the vid I'm considering deleting it; I used SO many incorrect terms!! It will stay for now until I can put some short ones together as you suggested.
