DRAWZILLA

Got any of those new Bathroom Oval sinks in the plan. They are not suitable for use right now until Chief fixes them. If you have 2 or 3 of those symbols in a plan it will slow you down considerably. Change to another one, and it's fine.

Edit, I wasn't even close, my mind was wandering too much. The tool I use is the arrow keys to move in small areas.

Another type would be board on board like 1x12 over 1x12 but could be 1x8's or 1x10"

Well, usually I'm trying to match the existing siding, yes, over plywood. I have also seen them at 12", 24", 48"

I seem to do a lot of batts @ 16" o.c.

I feel your pain, buddy, it's brutal around here. This is what I have been able to get by with lately, but who knows how long it will last.

and I ain't even go to the WOOD FLOOR OVER CONCRETE GARAGE issues...... I spent so much time on that, and I still can't quite figure it out.

Scott, I usually just use a slab for those, who wants to create a crawl space and breakthrough the existing stem wall for access. You usually need a footing anyway.

Chief has always said a Gaming card works better than those Quadro cards. I love my gtx780. You can spin with shadows on in real time even before X6 with fast shadows.

Thinking of it, Perry's avatar somewhat resembles him (take away the sunglasses)...

 

Thank you sir, may I have another.

You might try to re-install you print drivers also

It printed to pdf ok for me.

its the "OVAL" one in the bathroom sinks section of fixtures. They did a nice 2d block, looks very nice but the sink hole is giving everyone problems. To bad I use it all the time.

When you select something that can use that tool, it shows up in the edit toolbar at the bottom of the screen, or a right click on your mouse. I use it also.

Doug,

 

Why would you say that we should never use box_scale?

 

If I send to Layout, I'm sending to a specific sheet size at a specific scale.  The box_scale macro reflect that exactly and I don't print the Layout at a different sheet size.  If I want to print to a different sheet size then I'll send to a layout that's set to that sheet size.

 

Check prints I send directly from the Plan so the scale macro is fine for that - but I personally am not worried about the scale of chec prints.  At that point I'm just using them for markup anyway.

 

Perhaps you don't prefer to use box_scale but IMO it's not good to advise users to never use it.

Here also Joe, I have always used the box scale and never had any problems with it- ever. I just like it better and never want it changed but they

should fix the scale for Tommy and others, that use it.

I actually want the box scale to pick up the scale as sent to layout. No bug for me. Never use the "scale" but I also never do check plots

I use the box scale and like it better, please don't change it

Perry that is correct.

But unl4ess you use auto build you dont have the lookouts without a whole heap of stuffing around manually. I have not found a way to auto build trusses, an I missing something??

Sorry, I must not understand what you are looking for.

Has anybody tried a roof plane with a zero pitch but the base line has an angle?  I don't know why,  but the rafters build parallel to the ground. I assumed the rafters would build differently.  

 

I have never used a PITCHED ROOF BASELINE.  Why and where would someone want to pitch the baseline,  and if you find a reason to build the pitched baseline,  wouldn't you want the rafters to build differently than they do?

Yes you have, you did a whole series of video's on it. Forgot the name but it was some crazy roof lines, like sloped ridge's.

Trusses have lookouts around here, you just use a reduced gable truss to do it.

Some people use the lookouts as the roof plank sheathing but you have to do it manually.

Exactly

You can update all your lib. Core content and Catalogs by clicking on "library" at the top of the toolbars , then clicking on what you want updated, it does it automatically. try it.

You can also set it up in the finish schedule, I do it that way

I know they took it out in X6, but I always used it in X5, sad to see it go.

Just change the wall type to stone for the railing. Then the stone will show up on the platform area.

If I have problems like that, I go to plan 2,( invisible walls) and just use p-solids for the posts.
