DRAWZILLA

I wouldn't even like to go back 2 versions of Chief, let alone hand drafting

Scott is correct, I also use light sources all the time and turn off any fixtures in the plan. RT's go much faster also.

The Terrain is to make sure you have your feet on the ground when installing partitions

You might not see it now but its coming, they want you off that old plan and will force you to scrap that old plan.

I know Scott did some video's on this a while back and Chief has some also

No easy way that I know about but it can be done, with a lot of workaround work. hopefully in X7.

I would just delete them and re-send to the layout with that unchecked, someone else might have a better way as that has never happened to me.

here it is

yes

You can create a reference set just like a layerset but you use it for reference only, like showing the second floor walls on the first floor. I use reference sets for just about every plan . foundation, roof , all floors, framing,

Put all the interior walls on their own layer and turn off when you need too. I also use a reference set just for site plans, that way you get the 2nd floor roof to show. I don't know how to change the plant size and not the 3d other than making a new cad block that's smaller to associate with it.

if this is checked you are sending a new layerset to the layout. I leave this unchecked all the time, in fact I have never checked this.

I have been complaining that it would be nice to be able to copy camera's b/c I'm tired of having to set each one. One way to deal with this is to already have the cameras and sections in you template plan, which is what I do now, it really saves a lot of time for me. If I need a new camera I have to set it up but I have 12 section cameras and 4 elevation cameras and 8 wall cameras saved in the plan and by the way , they are already sent to the layout. Nice time saver.

Just use a callout, put them on their own layer and in the callout DBX, select "Display on all floors"

Here is mine on slow DSL ok for the show but not what I want without going to cable.

ok, it shall be done, thanks

Curious, Can you use p-line subtract to get a round roof edge

You will get better results if you do the "existing plus addition" method for title 24 calc's. Sometimes you can't get the addition alone to work without using more expensive windows and extra insulation and more expensive heating a/c systems.

I use the polyline union all the time for sections when I use Auto detail. The foundation just most of the time needs to be fixed.

You can just add an "E" in the label for existing windows like Tommy and Scott said, I also do it this way.

Make any changes in the camera view, then you won't have to re-do it when you have to open the view again. the only thing I usually have to change is the foundations, sometimes you get errant lines so you might have to mask it with some earth fill.

Don't you really mean paid more?

Here is how I did it. http://screencast.com/t/DzZTrrnXRDev

I'd take a hammer to that old CRT anyway, it doesn't deserve to live.

THE PROJECT BROWSER I have it up all the time
