  1. If the material class is transparent, it wont matter what color you made the material. Switch to general material with transparency. As far as NKBA, either adjust your dim defaults or adjust your shower wall designation.
  2. You could do this with 3d moldings, but, I'm very curious why it would be a problem to cross wires. Are you referring to data lines that can't be in proximity to electrical? Are you actually referring to exposed unshielded nm cable in conditioned space? This is a code violation
  3. Quite a few problems in this plan. It would take a while to go through them all, so if they are working for you I would just say carry on. I didn't run into greyed out designations in floor defaults:
  4. Can you please explain in detail what you are doing that would lead you to a greyed out value? It really is a bad habit to start editing room heights separate from the overall floor height
  5. You can always select marquee similar and select marquee all. Much better to adjust your floor definition in defaults though.
  6. could think of a few methods.. Ca you provide a detail for how it should look in CS?

  9. Watch a pre-recorded version as it was LIVE- streamed on FB and YT. My first attempt at solving all of the issues on the Q&A Forums First page For Feb 11 This is Episode 2 in the series
  10. First off, you have your roughness set to 100%? whereas 0 would be "shiny" but moreover, change your material class to Transparent
  11. This is already in the tile builder...maybe, scroll down in your menu?
  12. An old habit, I have to make a post and then go back and re-edit it(the way my brain works) but you guys beat me to it. I have a text box with a macro. I want that macro to report the value for a layer of a reference object via a leader. If no leader exists, then I would like it to report the layer of the text box that it is contained in. This method works...but why? why does the referenced layer supersede the owner? Is this an order of operations that is constant?
  13. I have a condition where I want a variable to report a referenced layer name, but if no reference exists, report its own layer name. Any help is greatly appreciated
  14. I think I spoke to an owner/owner rep last year that was interested in retaining my services. I submitted a resume, strictly freelance and could guarantee a number of jobs per quarter through my company.
  15. yup yup, tag @Bob-Roraback
  16. @Bob-Roraback maybe an easy tool is taking advantage of a label macro in a polyline for perimeter. draw a line, break the line, then simplify it and add a macro to the label a=perimeter.to_f if a>=(input your length) a="4x King Stud Ea. Side" else a="2x King Stud Ea. Side" end
  17. Yeah, what you mentioned was my current workflow. Just seems very clunky. Ive come up with a way to disable all snaps cept for midpoint and orthogonal which lets me point and click with the Light Tool. A lot faster and feels as I feel that it should. I would love to have this as an option for overhead lights by default. Just click and click and click, boom, 3 lights, right where I want them. Still wish it was better, something closer to Chief just reading my mind.
  18. I've been using the Copy/Paste Tool in the Edit Toolbar to drag instances of Lights that I've placed. I do this specifically because of all of the inference snaps that occur in conjunction with orthogonal inference that makes it very difficult to center my next fixture to my last in one action. Am I possibly missing a better method?
  19. I don't have anything at the moment but please drop me a line. renerabbitt@gmail.com. I'm in Oakland and things pop up.
