  1. For this particular case I see the terrain break being an option but look at the bleed through of the terrain...how do you do the other side where it is just a straight wall?... that's also a heavily stepped set of courses to cover the terrain breaks flaws as well...terrain breaks don't precisely cut even when you set it to 0, not like a retaining wall will do...and it wouldn't even be an option if we had additional slope going in multiple directions...I'd have to stick to my guns here, terrain break is a solid method to learn, ...add the molding(nice idea) for the course work and it is fool proof.. take these for example, so much easier using the terrain retaining wall:
  2. Chief runs brilliantly in a touch screen environment especially for field measurement- The next Surface Book should be a killer- Macbook is certainly a nice machine, not a great value IMO. I currently use an iPad Pro remoted into my desktop for offsite work
  3. actually I think it only works on a terrain retaining wall
  4. Long story short there are no options, you would have to manually drag your leaders up, I wouldn't expect this to change for years to come because of the way text is formatted separate from a text box.
  5. 5935 Olde Atlanta Pkwy.plan think thats it
  6. Maybe even easier, open the wall DBX. and change to a pony wall with the upper wall type being your cap
  7. I didn't notice your sig, I used X-11 so you won't be able to open it, just line up your regions with the footing line of the terrain retaining wall and line up the terrain break with the stem wall on the high side.I would probably try a poly solid for your stepped walls since you have no slope left to right, if you did it would be a challenge
  8. You need a terrain break and a terrain retaining wall..stay tuned
  9. Yes, take a look in your schedule DBX.:
  10. Was looking through my material files and nothing popped out to me as a good base texture, there is a lot to look through however, shoot me a PM if you like and I'll give you access to my files.
  11. You could take a CA rock and flatten it, then randomize orientation and size using the the distribution tools...are you looking for the material file? I may have something
  12. not to uphold a contract, though an LLC is always a good idea, I personally work freelance on the side and don't bother ...then again I've never been sued(crosses fingers) I do plansets that get through county without the stamp using prescriptive measures. I don't carry a business license and I let the owner get an owner/builder permit or the contractor handles his business license and pulls permit
  13. 16 years without a shady customer...forget this one, you've been blessed!
  14. He's using a diff program, haha

  16. Awesome work, gave you a plus 1, do you have any of these in DWG form or a .plan file with these drawn in CAD?
  17. OK, I understand the request, I think in most arch standards books-it would denote a swing direction with a thinner line weight, my overall request would be to give separate control to all elements of the door display since we aren't given any CAD options in the symbol DBX....I also fully promote going against conventional drafting standards as it can be a method to promote change for the better. An aside, I shy away from dashed lines on anything that doesn't represent a section cut or an element reflecting in a reverse plane(soffits) etc.- this certainly is debatable. I'd suggest putting up a request in the suggestion forums..thumbs up!
  18. Can you explain further, is this a hinge door that is being converted to a doorway? Would a reference layer using a dashed AB plan work?
  19. Hey all, make sure to throw your voice into this suggestion, which would address the OP’s issue:
  20. You can change the entire door symbol to a dashed line in your layer settings, is there a reason you would want just the door swing dashed as opposed to the entire door?
  21. Several methods, probably the easiest would be to draw poly boxes in elevation so you could match the slope of the roof You would need to break your roof under and pill it back before the wall...would be my first thought...how do you actually plan on building this in real life?cutting back your rafters and hanging them off of a new wall that extends up to your new california framed roof over? also, always a good idea to post your .plan file
  22. I would say don't bother..it only leads to madness and their is no current tool that helps the purge...it won't speed up your plan, best option I've found if you're hell bound on getting rid of them is o copy paste your updated plan into a new plan. This can be problematic if you don't have much experience with it.
