Yes thank you , select similar...and yes just discovered the match props part too..slightly annoying, ha

As the title says, couldn't get marquee select to work on headers..is this feature missing?

nice work +1

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

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

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

Off topic but on topic I made a sign for just such occasions and uploaded it a while ago :

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

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

thats a nice system for the price, might be worth getting an optane add on card for the SATA drive

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

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.

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

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.

Stuffed my desktop PC into this lil case You don't see it from the front

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)

SOOO many used xeons on ebay from servers that can be had for around $500 for over 10 cores and as I keep mentioning in these computer threads, the difference in CA between my XEON and a new 8th gen i7 running @ 1.5x the clock speed is next to none. CA really benefits from read/write, RAM and your gfx card...so if your workflow can benefit from more cores in some other software, then a Xeon is well worth the price when purchased used or refurbed... people always forget about the monster L3 cache and the fact that on an 8 hour workday avg CA uses 5% cpu and a helluva a lot more RAM and HDD activity

The Wolf and Viking manu catalog has some...search "outdoor"

please post a .plan file

Okay so either a dummy floor or raise the existing floor and set a ceiling plan and manually frame some stuff to represent the existing roof...sounds like a decent amount of manual framing. Assuming you've got some kind of strapping or hold down between floors, shear transfer etc. I feel like the ceiling plan may be more agreeable, never tried anything like that before, maybe someone else is more equipped to answer

What’s the structural plan of attack? i would think a dummy second floor...can you get a floor truss to conform?

Hotkeys couldn't get me to custom library items like this system can...1 button push for w/h, toilet, occupancy sensor, fridge with cabinet over, microwave under cab, saved plan view switching, dropping saved notes and CAD blocks, even complex actions like adding an arrow to spline in under a second. Changing a room to mono slab or floor defaults in under a second with a single button push...and for me personally...there is NO WAY I could ever remember a couple hundred hotkeys...and that's just in regards to working from desktop with the ipad.. In the field with a laptop and an iPhone loaded with the same hotkeys works beautifully as well.

Or you could do even MORE work and map every ANSI key and modifier to a MIDI note and create a 4 page graphical toolbar for your tablet to perform very complex shortcuts like switching plan views in 0.7 seconds pressing 1 button, or dragging a slider for quick input of 1-12" with a 1/2" step modifier, or swiping across a toolbar and deselecting all snaps at once Still haven't had anyone step up to do beta testing and I've been using it daily, saves me 5-10 hours per plan on avg.
