  1. Try playing around with the "EDIT WALL INTERSECTION TOOL"
  2. If any of you remember, back years ago here in Calif. the Architectural license board decided to Grandfather all building designers to full Architect status, without having to take any test, it was automatic, I didn't at that time b/c I wasn't a member of the building designers group which involved a yearly fee. Forgot what it was called. I thought it was a waste of money at the time. I did have a lot of friends that did get Grandfathered, what a mistake that was, Some of them had to hire plans out b/c they couldn't do it.
  3. As it is, I also have to re-do a lot of Architect plans as they are just too expensive and the client has wasted thousands of dollars on something they couldn't use.
  4. Johnny Like I said , it goes both ways. People should just be aware of who they choose no matter who is doing it.
  5. Come on Joe you know that's just a play on words, I can advise anyone on any level of building design, just not allowed to use the A word. I have designed and advised custom homes and additions legally for 40 years.
  6. I'm talking about the license to design, not needed. I've seen very nicely done projects, done by un-licensed people. And yes building design can be done by anyone, didn't say it was nicely done or not, that could also apply to Architects. You took those statements out of context.
  7. You probably don't need an Architect unless you want one. I have been doing plans in the most regulated areas in the country for 40 years without being an architect. building design can be done by anyone including yourself. Architect's always try to scare everyone.
  8. Rule#1 , Always download these free programs, from the original source, not a secondary source. You probably agreed to it, somewhere along the line. If you were on a PC then I could clean it. Ccleaner might be able to do it, or your anti-virus might do it. Windows has a not widely known program called (MRT) Malicious Software removal tool. Just hit, Run: mrt at the dos prompt . Windows updates this every month.
  9. I agree, your system just should not be that slow with that Xeon processor, and as we all know raytracing is all about the processor.
  10. I always used to always copy plans forward but a while back Chief told me I don't need to do it, maybe you found a bug.
  11. I have noticed that if you use one of the older mirror materials, it doesn't reflect
  12. Are the materials Glass inside and outside, if you are using glass walls
  13. I think it is always open if you want to
  14. I'm going to sue you for freaking me out, can't continue work, I now need disability.
  15. Alan, its also legal here, you just need a medical card for it. You can buy one of those on every street corner.
  16. I have no idea what you want. To me ,it looks like you are doing everything the hard way.
  17. Sometimes that could be framing when your roof plane edges are not aligned correctly, turn off roof framing to see if that's it.
  18. Stupid, auto correct tool is a tool
