What method of selection are you using? assuming you are referring to a house in .plan, can you post a .plan file? can you demonstrate in a video? Are you using the Edit Area Tool? the rotate plan view tool?

looks like your front door glass has a normal or bump map applied to it

Feeling a bit lazy and not wanting to create this from scratch if anyone has this at the ready...cheers!

this took me 16 hours to get the joke, but I got it finally! so good...so good

this guy: https://us-store.wacom.com/Product/wacom-mobilestudio-16-s01?sku=Wacom MobileStudio Pro 16#/undefined1 I want it!

Agh really, free ones or paid?...do I need to strip that out? I thought Joe was the one that used “arr”

There are a large handful of ways to get a perpendicular dimension, the make perpendicular/parallel tool is one as mentioned, and simply drawing from a 90 degree corner with angle snaps on will get you this with a handful of different dimensioning tools...too many ways to skin this particular cat

I personally use a p-line with a dimension label per a suggestion/trick from alaskan son...that way it can report as a macro

B/C he's just so damn good at them. I will share a .plan that has a bunch of macros I've written including site area analysis....it is rudimentary in comparison to Joe's, mine simply uses poly lines.. also I have not gotten around to putting in instructions like Joe always does in his macros. I believe this plan includes his dimension formatting macros which he gave away a while ago. You will have to reverse engineer a few things....start in the ___jobInfo macro and it will get you very far...just requires user input download: EXAMPLE-N.plan

draw order as in my rafters are drawn over the top of everything but my roof planes, as intended, and the macro specifying a header in my window label has no option to be drawn over the rafters. I dont want to change the window draw order and then have to change the header draw order and then change the rafter draw order to achieve this display. I feel like there is a draw order option for labels, I just can't find it

Can't find this, can't even remember if it exists, bwain dead this am

Refer to this thread, their are detailed videos and explanations on how to get this to function quite well:

A restricted search will bring you a lot of regards to this,it has to do with file authoring and ownership...if one machine is trying to author a file while another is trying to download the same file it will often times result in conflicting copies. ‘In my sig is a link to a thread where I propose some advanced techniques for cloud syncing user libraries

I typically name my wall type and remove description entirely from schedules, but thats just me

An experiment to illustrate this would be to add the column "numbers" and watch as you have 35 new rows

Schedules will display based on "like" information pulled from the column headings that you choose to include.. as in, if you add a column type "floor" you will now get new rows of wall assemblies from a first and second floor regardless of a lack or presence of any other differences between the assemblies. In your case you have multiple wall types using the description "EXISTING 2X4 STUDS @ 16"O.C., NO GYP BD." and since you only included the "description" column, CA schedules will not distinguish between different wall types until you add the column type "wall type" so the new schedule has the column type" wall type" which is why additional wall types are present. Simply add a wall type column and you will see your schedule populate

Came up as a contractor and started using CA as a hobby in version 7 It only makes sense that framing is on the fnd layer, how else would you be able to truly decipher the floor to fnd connections...is it a ledger detail, a flush GH detail, a stem wall with rims, a slab w/ curb abutting a stem wall w/ joists...that information must be graphically represented with fnd and framing on 1 sheet...I see no other way, section details only get you so far

This is exactly why I prefer using a note schedule for revisions now

wheres your dang paypal link!

Do we have this capability? Using the SAM method I have a lot of old unused custom fields that I would love to Purge or rename- can't seem to find this

javatom has the right idea I would probably insert a floor below your existing foundation level, putting the decks on level 1...looks like you have walls that aren't using default top and bottom heights, you will need to address that- I dont see any custom framing aside from your columns that couldn't be auto-built, but you could always create a "framing only" layer set and group select your framing and then use paste/hold-position to copy and paste to a floor above... but if the elevation heights are all correct, then insert a floor and split the 0 and 1st floor up in defaults and your framing should remain where it is

@DRAWZILLA @dshall @CJSpud @CharlesVolz also....editing the active camera view to have a narrow field of view can get you much closer to an orthographic projection :

@DRAWZILLA @dshall @CJSpud @CharlesVolz For the few people here that I know watched this workshop, given only a 5 minute window to touch-up of a clients perspective floor overview...notice the sun settings...an almost black sun with a measly 500 lm, and then the technique options for the PBR camera have exposure cranked to half way:
