  1. don't think it really matters, probably easier to navigate using the index for most people I imagine...maybe I should list things chronologically instead of by catagory
  2. Could not get the image to load- shouldn't be anything wrong with the model- chrome just would not preview the image no matter what I tried

  4. Thank you for the compliments, means a lot to me! Without having tried it before with iCloud specifically, I think what you’ll run into is conflicted copies of the user folder if one Mac is still writing to disc while the other is opened up to CA...it can be tough to avoid...hence the need for the two folders. when one folder conflicts with another in windows it saves both but renames the new folder which CA won’t recognize. If it goes unnoticed people tend to lose a symbol and when they need it most it’s buried in a renamed user folder or even overwritten and lost to the abyss. thats the main reason for that vid. I have limited experience with CA in Mac as we donated our MacBook this year

  6. probably meant default CA layers like "Cabinets, Countertops" vs user created. ..and yes you are correct about system layers
  7. 3 Bay Area guys were riding in a car; a hardware technician, a systems analyst and a programmer. The systems analyst is driving and when they come to a steep hill he finds that the brakes have failed and the car is accelerating out of control. So, he pumps the emergency brake, downshifts the gears, and rubs the wheels against the curb. He finally wrestles the car to a stop. The three climb out and assess the situation. Hardware tech: "Let's try and fix it. I'll crawl under the car and take a look." Systems analyst: "No. I think we should get someone qualified to fix it, a specialist in brakes." Programmer: "Why don't we just get back in and see if it happens again?
  8. base cabinets have a molding dbx...you can set it up in your cabinet defaults
  9. I typically try and build my own 3d models if they seem simple enough so that I own the creation completely, though in a pinch 3d warehouse can be a very quick way of getting an item. I will say I find a ton of items at 3dwarehouse that have artifacts or explode in a difficult fashion or the material IDs are missing or wrong...pain in the butt. Any particular light you were looking for? BTW this track light is in a large group of lighting symbols upload for my symbols and content page. You can find it in my signature

  12. May get to this next week as I have a packed schedule day and night until tuesday...looks good. What is the second texture supposed to be applied to, need some context. will it be applied to something massive so it needs to be tiled, or will it be applied to something small so it can be stretched? Appreciate it Zowie, great compliment...thank you, love that!

  15. Kind've interesting- you can put your user library in the core catalog folders and have it show up in user library as a duplicate
  16. do you still have the libraries on your computer in any other version?
  17. CA left a bit of humor in their data folder..
  18. The term gradients was used incorrectly in the video. Just different shades of grey. Yes made in photoshop with the paint bucket tool.. simple solid colors. I used a Gradient from black to white as my ambient occlusion map for gyp. bd walls less than 10' tall- that is included in the kitchen material starter pack. You can post an image file here, else if for some reason your files are too large you can share with onedrive/backup and sync/dropbox etc.
  19. Deleting your third floor should fix it..not sure if you had any useful info on that floor
  20. How about collecting a few textures you would like so I have some content to work with I always appreciate your mentions and feedback Ken, you've responded to nearly all of my symbol posts in past, thank you.
  21. I make most maps in PS CC from modifying images I find from google image searches. I could teach my methods if I had interested people familiar with photoshop. Alternatively I will make requested files, time permitting, if you have a particular texture you are looking for? Occasionally I modify CA files but they are really lightweight- low resolution, which I don't use very often
