DRAWZILLA

You can also take a straight on picture of it and convert that to a texture.

The typical way of drawing a remodel, for me, is to draw the existing first, then save as new remodel. I keep them as separate plans and send each to the layout. Never have any problems doing that. Funny thing though, I didn't extensively test the layout and I didn't see any problems, but my setup is different than most. Could be a setting.

Not sure, but I think it's the quadro card that is the problem. Chief has always said that a good gaming card is preferred. I'll download your plans and test it with my gaming card. Edit, not slow on my system, and I am very weak in the CPU department as compared to you.. Do you have an NVidia card handy to try it?

Remember the brick ledge only works for slabs, not raised floors. If you are using raised wood floors You need to create a stem wall def. with a brick exterior. For slabs,you can also change the brick ledge distance in the wall def DBX.

Los Angeles is a lot different than La Puente, I'v done a lot of work there also.

For the last few years it been around Feb-march as long as everything goes good.

My first Apple had no hard drive

yippee,, what a country.

All of my text is controlled in the layerset for quick access. I never have that problem. Scott is actually a very nice guy, he really wants to help you, but doesn't want to spend all day guessing at it.

A workaround for now is, use a ramp and remove the floor in the Garage

When you say Remodel, is it just interior remodel or are you adding on new rooms and changing the exterior?

Agree w/ Joey, might be the video card. try to update or at least let us know what video card you use, makes a difference.

I use a cad block anno-set for quick access if needed

Thanks Joe, very nice. Are you using arrows and do they stick.

Yes, good idea

Count me in also.

Iagree

UGM every two years

as long as the block is checked as (by block layer) no problem changing anything

Put it on it's own layer and just change the layer color and line-weight to what you want

I FIXED IT FIRST!!

Joe's system is also nice.

No problem, I just use my method b/c, when I started to use Chief, I installed all my thousands of details from another program and didn't have time to re-draw any of them.So I imported them, turns out there was some fix-up, anyway, so I did it a little each day.

Larry I really didn't look at anything else and saw what you are talking about, try to drag an extension around the corner, or you might need to use a symbol there. good luck. I have never tried it before just like that. Jon I just locked all the deck framing in the layerset and made sure that the rebuild deck was unchecked.
