DRAWZILLA

For the handrail, I have to use a p-line, should be automatic.

A lot of round railings will also slow things down.

Or save it using copy every now and again. Chief has a timeout, but don't know how long

The more cores the better with Chief.

What is your ambient exterior set at in the render DBX?

Gee, that's not my experience, I always turn off Software edge smoothing and my rig runs much faster than if it was on. The hardware is just faster for me. Of course I have a killer card

Try to turn off "hardware edge smoothing" ,it works for some others

Are you using an "ATI" video card?

Yes just draw a p-line around it and open the DBX. No sure if HD has schedules, but if you do, the "Room finish Schedule has a SF category to add to the Sched.

You can also use the living area, make sure it's checked in the CAD Defaults.

I thought he needed to wrap the steps around, I guess not.

You should be able to change it as 150 is still way to much.. that setting is for the terrain

Micro

your triangle size is way off, it should be 24 preview / 60 for final view, no wonder your having problems. that setting will really slow you down

Scott is correct, if you want stucco, than make the wall type a stucco wall and it will be stucco.

Sometimes I have to slide them together, but it does work.

it's there

Is this checked?

A demo plan is easy using anno-sets. Look at Scott's video's on Demo plans.

I have 2 separate plans for additions, existing and new. The existing plan is shown on my layouts also.

The dashed lines are just walls that use a dotted line, I like to mainly show the roof

These day ,I would get whatever you can, I never charge by the hour but by the job, that way I can do it faster and make more money and there is no problem with the customer complaining about your hours spent.

Tommy, you are correct, sorry for that.

This is what reference sets can get you with going to cad to view, I never do that.

I believe in X6 this is the one you want

I LIKE HIS LANGUAGE

I put it on a layer I created called "Walls not in plan" and turn it off. Room divider walls will change its thickness if you have different floor or ceiling heights so it can frame the difference.

You can use reference sets to get that. Set up an anno-set to show whatever you want for the site plan but you can only show 2 floors.

Even escape does not seem to work for me when using the water color with line drawing technique. I thought I was alone with this. I felt really alone. Distant. Like a designer on an island and there were boats all around me but no one saw my signal written with seaweed on the beach.

You really have to beat that button down to get it.
