I would try to get a job, or side job ,under someone experienced. That's the only fast track of learning, I know of . A lot of times schooling just teaches you a lot of things you really don't need(The long road) unless ,of course, you want to become an licensed Architect, then the schooling is needed. Your contractor boss should enlighten you about construction methods though.

Is There A Way To Change The 'name' Of An Electrical Item?
DRAWZILLA replied to HumbleChief's topic in General Q & A
Just change the label, Under "specify label" in the label tab, and include in the schedule -
I managed to get them to work except for the ceiling height ,maybe Chief didn't like the way you renamed them for some reason. You have way too many anno-sets for me, couldn't figure it out, and your wall defs are different. I would try a default profile plan especially if you brought forward from a previous version, something is screwed up for sure. STORY POLE PLAN.plan

Best release in many years, X8 really make my job a lot easier and runs very smooth.

A square footage price and or an hourly rate would vary greatly from area to area. There is no rule of thumb you could possibly follow nation wide.

Chief has been testing windows 10 for a while now and says it's good to go.

A while back I purchased an SSD, tb size drive, with everything on it, and it made a huge difference for me but It really depends on what you already have. If you have a killer system , you probably won't see as much difference. Mine was getting a little old so it really helped me.

I like to add the floor height and the ceiling height so I can take a quick look and see what they are without having to open up a DBX to check.

DRAWZILLA replied to JessCoville's topic in General Q & A
If you will be using it for a business, to make money, then get Premier, you'll need it. -
You can also just Zip it.

It depends on how you built it.

Fixed it just playing around, straightened a few things, added another break in the landing and brought it back from the upper floor just a tad. Edit btw your rail walls weren't aligned with the wall below also.

You can use room devider walls to get the different floor heights, the space between the floors should generate automatically. -
Walls Not Forming Correctly On Upper Portion Of Balloon Wall.
DRAWZILLA replied to jrussell's topic in General Q & A
No walls? Now that's a problem. -
I purposely do not download all the libs. I just don't want all the junk in the trunk. I will download as I need it ,and always have. So what I'm hearing is, I will have to pay later for not downloading now. Not good.

Sometimes if you back the stairs out a little ( but still be connected) will fix that. The stairs need to be in an exact location. They very easily can move. I usually lock them when they are good to go.

Not a fan ,but we will see where this is headed.

Walls Not Forming Correctly On Upper Portion Of Balloon Wall.
DRAWZILLA replied to jrussell's topic in General Q & A
Remember roof planes in that condition should stop at the exterior wall finish ,not the studs. -
Delete the molding in that room and create a molding room polyline, and show and hide molding on any section of that line.

Here(Calif.) we have to put so much info on the plans, I couldn't charge by the hour, and never have. People just wouldn't go for that. They want to know up front what the fee is (by the S.F.). My incentive is to do it faster and I make more money on it, but that is difficult these days. I'm getting slower and or the cities are making it slower for everything. I understand most of the Country does not experience this ,and would like to retire in a simpler existence. Floor plans and elevations sound good. One thing that is the best time saver and actually make me money, is "Macro's. Who really want to add and subtract numbers all day.

I was talking about using Schedules, other than a plant schedule, In X8 they have added labels to all the schedules so you can use more of them to do Plan notes.
