Have you read the help file? It is all explained there.

Polyline Specification dbx>Selected Arc panel>Arc>uncheck Automatic Facet Angle>Facet Angle. The lower the value, the smoother the curve.

Extend the wall towards the ridge and then look up "Roof Cuts Wall At Bottom".

Chad, I must admit that I cheated a little. You can't get 2 different callouts in the one schedule. I used a second schedule for the toilets (no title or column headings) pushed up under the sink schedule. You need to assign a different Category to each symbol type on the Schedule panel of the Fixture Specification dbx and then display only one type in each schedule. To keep it simple, I just made the basins Outdoor, but you can create a custom category if you want.

Ed, I am on a mac and am having exactly the same toolbar problems. Is there a similar setting on a mac that could influence the problem that you may want to know about?

Callout Specification dbx>Attributes panel>Callout Arrows>Number of Arrows. You may have to do some of the text manually.

I thought the Truss Base was for drawing over frame trusses, not rafters.

Chopsaw, I have it in the back of my mind that in versions a long time ago, that if you wanted additional angles, you had to select 7.5 as well as enter the additional angle - you couldn't get the additional angle without checking 7.5. So maybe it is a hangover from then because 22.619865deg IS within .5deg of 22.5deg (3 x 7.5). Or maybe I am just remembering incorrectly. Can anyone else remember this?

Ah... You mean more like this? or...

What is stopping you from using Build New Floor?

You can change the default material for psolids at Default Settings>Materials>Foundation/Slab. But it will change the default material for those objects as well - so probably not much help.

Open the Define Material dbx for the siding material. Go to the Material List panel. Change the Material List Calculation to Area. Generate a ML.

Probably hidden off screen somewhere. Try Preferences>Reset Options>Reset Side Windows

You will have to post a plan for that one. For the windows, have a look at Vertical Stacking.

Are you talking about Visual Cadd - I used that for years, as well as Generic Cadd (2D and 3D) before that - great programs. Generic 3D even had 3D dimensions and text as I remember.

You can certainly display a hatch pattern in both plan view and section with Auto Detail (it just can't be the standard insulation pattern). Hatches in both views are determined by the Fill pattern property in the wall definition - don't check the Ins column as that will overide the assigned Fill if/when you Auto Detail. The material list will automatically give you the wall and ceiling insulation quantity for any areas that are marked as Conditioned.

Are you using tab stops or spaces (or a combination) to get the columns? Post a simple plan.

You can also do it here:

Do you mean like this?

Larry, Are you talking about a sill that cuts into the brick skin of a brick veneer wall rather than sitting on the face of the brickwork (that is easy to do)? Is there any significance in the window being double hung?

They look like ceiling tiles to me.

Can't you use the Bottom Component Size to adjust the top and bottom sash sizes?

I just started having a play with this one and I was using walls - not polysolids. Only thing is, I used walls that are 1layer (stone) and 1mm thick and used them to draw the outside surface of the actual walls. This means that it is very easy to control things like second floors, heights, invisible walls, materials, openings, foundations, etc. I just did this in the last 10 minutes to see how it would work. The shaded "walls" are actually rooms defined by the 1mm thick walls. This is the smaller structure built with all walls as well

You don't shape the side of the wall, you shape the bottom of the wall. Create a new short wall that extends out to the fascia, drag the bottom of the wall up and start shaping it. The bottom of the wall becomes the underside of your curved corbel. The big drawback is you can't shape it into a proper curve. What I did was draw a circle to the shape, placed break points in the wall and then snap the break points to the circle.

OK, I guess a reboot wouldn't hurt.
