DRAWZILLA

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.

Yep David is correct, I've had to change mine.

The overhang of the wall cap in railing walls are removed when you make the top rail to 1/16 and you also uncheck "post to rail", then you can put your p-solid on top if you want

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.

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.

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.

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.

Whatever it is, the real question is he getting enough money to detail that cluster##?

Are you talking about the Auto storypole dims?

This is new in X8 only. b/c of more use of labels.

of course people will use different ways, I use plot lines with shadows, no color for elevations. I like "On demand" so it won't use computer resources while drawing and making me wait for updates. With a killer system like yours, Larry, you might not have that delay. For 3d render views I use live but also On demand. All I have to do is hit update live and plot lines (one button for both and done, everything updates.

Is framing wall layer turned on in that view and is Auto wall framing also on to regenerate the framing.
