DRAWZILLA

I didn't have any of those problems when I migrated mine, so that could be it. I did notice it got faster the more I used it though. If you have a sata 6 then you must be screaming at this point, I only have a sata 2.

Should have got the 1tb version b/c I put everything on mine, and it was the best upgrade I ever did. You may not notice as much change b/c you already have a powerful computer where mine is 5 years old but I have put several new parts in it.

You have to use "TRANSFORM / REPLICATE" tool and move in the plus z direction, 1st select the roof planes you want to move. edit, sorry wrong post, I thought I was in your ceiling height post

I don't think so.

The floor plan view may be measuring to the surface instead of the outer studs which should line up with the foundation if you have your main layer set up correctly

Check your layer thickness's in the wall DBX . Looks like stucco but the outer material layer should be 1" ,or there about for stucco.

Raise the roof planes or ceiling planes to what you want, no craziness here, its all in the setup.

It looks to me like it just drips off the side, you can see the roofing extend over the fascia.

If I was working with your model, I would slide that symbol into the wall more leaving maybe 1 inch showing and put it on its own layer, then turn it off in plan view. I might also change the symbol to be thinner so you don't have that problem anyway. I have a window with the moldings built in to the window moldings but no keystone or angled sides, you would have to model them manually. I would do all the surrounding brick in the window molding DBX and the lintel top as a p-solid, easy to stretch for different size windows. Here is the brick surround but not exactly what you need. Not sure if it helps though. window w- brick.plan

I'd open a "Go fund me " account for your Diagnosis.

The longer you wait, the more the learning curve is. X7 will be coming early next year also

You might find someone using a Mac and ask them, Like Scott Hall.

If you happen to use this with a min 3' min. wide stairs, it would not pass the codes here also.

lEW Multi main layers in walls was added to have clean wall connection, but framing of 2 walls was never a part of that.

Thanks, Tommy Very nice

You can also create a phantom floor 2 for that space, so the bath would be on the 3rd floor. You can also adjust the floor definition to have an air space but you then need to add some cad to the sections for the wall, that is if you don't need to show any 3d framing and don't use the material list for your plans.

Right now Chief will only frame one wall in a 2 wall single wall, but slide 2 walls together then both walls will frame.

I usually cover that up with a p-solid tile curb, but you might want the glass to go into the floor as I have done a few of those lately. In that case follow Michael's method.

The Magician software has upgraded twice since I've had one, I like Rapid mode and if I lose some time on my SSD so be it. Cost of doing business. Maybe they have fixed it.

When strange things start up Re-start is #1 on my list.

I use the new floor and ceiling beam tools and they stay in place even when auto framing, Chief also puts them on their own layer.

You can also create a new toolbar with all your things in it using the " Place Lib. Object" tool.

Back in the hand drawing days I could spit out 150 a year. They were only 2 pages then. Another Cali. guy he can relate to our struggles

I'll send you the texture which includes the pattern. I'll put it here in a minute randem pattern 1.plan

A render is just a standard camera view, if you then want a raytrace, you must hit the raytrace button once you have the render up. If you are doing a render make sure your resolution is the highest setting in your video card DBX then make the scene as large as you can on your screen then send the render to your layout.
