  1. You would need to find or model a 3d mesh of that object and then convert it to an electrical fixture class, specifiy it as a light, and generate the offsets for your light source as well as any other lighting data you may need. You'd also need to specify how it mounts and you may need to adjust the offsets of XYZ in the 3d panel of the light's dbx
  2. bringing this back from the dead: 240327 (2).mp4
  3. have had terrible working experiences using google drive for sync caching issues and file redundancy when the sync is delayed. Onedrive has these issues as well but not nearly as bad. But onedrive is incredibly slow Dropbox is the gold standard. or use a NAS
  4. You'd have to do some modeling for the windows but you could use a roof plane:
  5. yes exactly or I have one that is a distributed path which is a bit more predictable in terms of full profile generation but not as dynamic when it comes to sizing while designing. Also the column, caps, beam are all a cabinet that can be dynamically resized. the beam is a countertop generated from the cabinet:
  6. you can make a molding profile that becomes your planking and then convert it to a 3d molding profile so you can use it over and over again to quickly generate these. Shouldnt take you more than 10 minutes or so:
  7. I'm available, you can click on the links in my signature if you like
  8. you could just explode your dormer and finish up the rest by manually moving your walls
  9. I didn't read everything of what you wrote just went with what felt natural real quick. spent 10 minutes tops
  10. lol, no, you would simply create a new exterior door, but easy enough to use the object eyedropper or match properties tools to copy over some settings. In the grand scheme of things does it matters if its an exterior door? you can always have it report to any schedule you like and call it anything you like
  11. before drawing a balcony, place your door..it will be an exterior door, it will never change its "stripes" you can then copy and paste it in other parts of the plan
  12. yes each "block" is just a fixed door
  13. yours is still a great method for things such as the staircase or around a door etc
  14. still has no data. use the file/backup entire plan option
  15. use fixed glass doors. you can mull them together and they will report to schedule:
  16. are you on a PC and is your PC using OneDrive, and if so, is your Chief archive in My Documents. If so..thats probably the cause of the issue, but also, you might be able to revert to an older version of that particular archive from onedrive online in version history
  17. yes, do an inverted return, inverted from the radius edge, then choose no molding on selected edge for that inverted leg of the molding line
  18. oh you want it fo each window as opposed to a total. then there is a built in macro: but you would have to put it in the window label which would not be all that desirable if you were trying to show it in elevation. Better to just put it in the window schedule
  19. @VHampton this works on walls..up to you to figure out how to implement # Copyright Rabbitt Design 2024 # This script calculates the ratio of thermal opening area to thermal envelope area # and rounds the result to two decimal places. # Directly divide thermal_opening_area by thermal_envelope_area to get the ratio. ratio = thermal_opening_area / thermal_envelope_area # The last line outputs the ratio, rounded to two decimal places. "#{ratio.round(2)*100}%"
