DRAWZILLA

I have seen the same thing and fixed it by selecting the lower wall and editing a sliver wall that seems to extend all the way to the 2nd floor plate line. Its a very thin wall segment and you have to drag it down to the 1st level. Seems to me a little bug got in with the new update.

I have seen a video you did a while back using Redstick and its pretty slick, you have a nice setup.

Most of the time I have a builder with me as I measure, but I really don't want their help, They can keep the homeowner busy so the HO don't follow me around, watching every move. They usually love all the gadgets I use, like the Disto and the Echo pen that records everything I say and write to my computer. I record every conversation. It has saved my builders, lawsuits. Just the other day a client said they wanted A/C included ( they live by the beach). Now the job is done, they want their A/C and threatened to go to court. I pulled out my audio file sent it to the builder--guess what- they said they didn't want A/C . I also tell each customer they are being recorded so I don't forget anything. They never have a problem with that. Using the program all I have to do is put my curser on any line or note on the page to get the exact audio from when I drew that line or note, easy to find stuff.

You can change the material-pattern lines where Scott says. Then you don't have to change each layout view.

How the *ell do you guys hold all of that stuff, I don't want to use a table and move it from room to room. I'm only there for 1 hour at the most.

I totally forgot about saving walls to the lib. It works, except for maybe, if you have a lot of different interior walls, you would have to save each one. Definitely do-able .

That's probably b/c you use a solid fill for the rooms. Does the same thing especially for using reference sets.

I don't think you did

The software links on the taskbar has also been disappearing for a few versions now, not sure why. I just drag a new one there.

I'm pretty sure Leica doesn't know how to use room planner either, so they faked it.

I also put the interior walls on their own layer for referencing them and you don't really want them on the site and roof plans. There is no way that I know of to default them to ant other layer than walls so you have to do them manually for now, maybe X-7.

Do not question Bill, he is the resident Trek guru.

I think Disto did the video, not Chief

It must be in the pocket door file.

Right, I have problem READING!!!!

Is the library a tool? Hundreds of items there.

I'm surprised Chief hasn't fixed the pdf thing for Mac,s yet. I think they said it was a vendor problem and not theirs a while ago. You can re-scan them as "PNG" and that should work for you, or just have them send it as a PNG file to you. I am glad I'm not having that problem. It's nutty.

Jim, do you live around here or do plans from out of the area? I have never tried a foundation from a footprint in fact I have never used the footprint or a cad detail for a foundation.

It boils down to this if you want your foundation and basement level on the same plan use "0" for basement. If you want a separate foundation plan use level 1 for your basement. I have so many things on the foundation plan (required in this area)I simply can't use level "0" for basement plans.

I do agree and have said in other posts, not to use level 0 for basement's, for those that need a foundation plan. I still want the credit from Keith though. Stealing my thunder is against the law.

Is it turned on in the preferences ?

There is already a crosshead in the lib.

You can copy a layerset from any layerset you have if you want it to look like a drawing in the background, just re-name it to say" reference roof plan" or something that makes since to you. Then you line weights and style will match your plan.

The move to front tool only work part time here.

Thanks Joe.
