DRAWZILLA

My property lines are always a cad box in the live plot plan, with line length turned on--no problem, I turn off the terrain perimeter in plot plan view

What I do for that is I have most of my section, foundation, and elevation notes in simple text macro's I created in Ruby. The good thing about that is when you need to make a change to the note, you just change the ruby note and every instance of that note will change automatically in all plans, like code change references or material changes-- very handy. You can copy your existing notes in ruby-- no re-typing necessary.

Nope , I send the plan to the layout using my standard plan layer-set, which I have worked out the colors to print in grayscale. A very light color just won't print well ,so keep the colors on the dark side and use that for all your layersets as a start until you get it the way you want. Plan and presentation are the same colors for me. I do change some colors lighter and darker as needed for different plans like framing vs. floor vs roof plans

I use the "ALDO" ,up all the time, but I put it on the second monitor--love it.

I see it now, but zooming that close, wouldn't"t that always be like that? Isn't that what the DPI setting is for, higher DPI ,better quality.

Thanks Richard, just didn't help with my situation.

He is in Atlanta this week, he should contact you after the AIA convention

I simply have all my sections and elevation camera's saved to my template plan so they are always there. The only ones I like to show are the section views on the framing plan and the interior wall camera's on the floor plan. By doing it this way the labels are always there. Sometimes I have to adjust the label name.

I'm on Adobe Acrobat 10 and don't see it. Edit, now using Adobe DC, good to go.

Yeo, that's what I do.

For Scott's plan ,I would break that area into more rooms using the room divider walls put on a layer you can turn off. Haven't tried this yet, does it supply dropped soffit ceiling height.

I also don't see any issues.

Nice Joe., although I could you the extend tool to do all of them.

You can move it in place after.

My view is why do it yourself, when Barry can do it better.

Make your sub-fascia to 1/16" thick and change your blocking to vertical in the framing DBX and don't forget to re-build the framing.. The sub-fascia controls the depth of the eaves so you could get a 2x4 eave on a 2x10 rafter if you already didn't know.

Auto generated, but some adjustment is needed b/c the blocking never goes to the end automatically

In the floor DBX check the joists to "show as insulation".

My son is a V.P. of Architectural Sales at CRlaurence.com./ and U.S. aluminum. He said he would be happy to work with you , they have Glass railings, shower enclosures, Glass Curtin walls, storefronts and many other things. They are the only company in the country. with an ICC approval for glass railings. Not sure how to get that started? They have offices all over the world.

Larry, try going down one level to the "0" level and change the slab height there. I believe once you have a foundation plan then you can adjust it there.

Graham I tried to use a video driver from a year earlier with no change. I also tried to mess with the thread section of the control panel with no success also. Thank you for your thoughts on this. My problem must be something different than yours.

Here is a short video showing one way to do this. It's not the only way just one way but I like it. video to follow shortly forgot to turn on the mic. http://screencast.com/t/awE3L2CFXy9V

The room defaults overpower the floor defaults

Ok, I'll give it a try, thanks buddy. Ill let you know how it goes

Barry does a great job. He has taken that load off me so I can draw more plans
