  1. When I change the settings, the view comes in dark for a split second and then quickly goes to bright.???
  2. Even with the sun turned off, the view is basically the same...
  3. I was enjoying working in PBR in the beta... never had an issue. However, I downloaded the final upgrade this morning from my digital locker and now all I get is white out blizzard conditions when I use the PBR. I uploaded the latest driver for my video card as was suggested by tech support and tried all the different combinations of setting but still NO GO. Strange thing is the PBR was working fine this morning before the final upload???
  4. Are you saying that there are people who use CA that aren’t Prime members of chieftutor? Why that’s just plain silly...
  5. Is there something in the library under fireplace that will work for you?
  6. Email me what you have and let me see what I can do for you. parkwesthomes@hotmail.com atten: David
  7. There was a roll up garage door shared on here...
  8. Thanks for the link, Richard. I will be taking a good look at those.
  9. Thanks Glenn! I think I understand how and where the pinch points are. Reminded me of the round doors we put on a tunnel years ago where we had the full perimeter beveled except the flat floor part so we had no binding.
  10. Good one... as soon as I read "angled door" I could see the pinch point. Thanks, javatom Books are very heavy... I still like the idea of sliding bookshelves... just wondering how to cover the rollers on the bottom without having to step over the baseboard???
  11. I have a hard time visualizing why the top of the doors would need to be beveled, Glenn. I concur with the sliding bookshelves being a better solution, imho.
  12. Thanks Mark. Now that I have mastered the fine art of ray tracing I guess it's time for me to expand my knowledge base and move into designing custom cabinetry.
  13. Does something like these pull out pantry drawers exist anywhere in our libraries?
  14. If you have a 6 inch thick door you will need to bevel the edges where the two doors meet to be able to open the door... maybe attach a molding to one door along that edge to cover the gap?
  15. I don't know how much time my space navigator mouse has saved me... but I would not want to work on CAD projects without it. A mouse in each hand is the only way to go...
  16. Do you have dimension opening locate object set to side?
  17. Just curious glenn... do you have a lot of guys down under named Jennifer?
  18. You might want to google functional obsolescence before you get to far along with your floor plans. Just trying to save you some unnecessary work. You might have a hard time getting financing on a "different" style of house if you design a house that the lenders deem functionally obsolete. I.e. No resale value.
  19. Quite an unique floor plan you have going there... If you would like, I can email you our Home Planner Guide...
  20. Thanks DavidJames! I am already redrawing to get my complete take-off estimate... it would sure be nice if the softwares would shake hands with each other... A guy can dream, can't he?
  21. Does CA have an export to allow us to export to another program to do beam analysis? From their website at Forte: OPEN FILE EXCHANGE Send members to Forte for analysis from your software We provide the Forte File Format Utility to software developers looking to enhance their software so it exports floor, wall, and roof members to the Forte application for analysis. This allows your customers to skip remodeling spans, supports, and loads in Forte and instead send these calculations to Forte with all the necessary information pre-populated.
