  1. I'm pretty sure you don't need the 5/8" type "x" under anymore.
  2. I have run into the landscape thing, it's usually a homeowners assoc. requirement, but they want it anyway. I tell the h.o. to get a landscape architect, I'm not doing it.
  3. how about good ole Dex-o-tex over conc. base?
  4. just copy the material and change it's name
  5. I still have all my details in the lib. and the most common details are actually in my template layout. Don't have any searching this way and it's easier to delete and move around than searching for a new one. Both have plus's and minus's ..
  6. I print in color and turn the color off just to see how that color looks in grayscale. I always print in color b/c some of my clients have color plotters and they like it but they can also print in grayscale if they want to. It's done at the printing stage not the drawing stage
  7. no just pick a color that works for you or just use a grey color. turn off the color icon to see what it looks like in grayscale after changing to grayscale.
  8. I always print to grayscale and never black and white, you just need to be carful what color you choose. Great for wall fills
  9. Everyone really should join Dave's website. There is always something to learn
  10. Chop is right, we need to see the plan, could be several reasons why.
  11. It's always a good idea to start any new version using the profile plan and layout, might stop any quirky things from showing up.
  12. Post the plan to find out what it is.
  13. in the print-drawing sheet setup DBX is the "advanced lineweight options " set to 100mm ?
  14. I also do a lot of remodels and "premier" is the only program I use., I need the framing and because it's a lot of custom work you need it.
  15. Use layout line scaling when you send it to the layout. there is a checkbox there in the send to layout DBX..
  16. That 2nd floor deck looks to me to be weak structurally , top heavy, you may want an engineer to look at that. Steel posts buried for lateral or steel shear walls beneath imbedded into some type of column. Just for f.y.i.
  17. I deal with 50 cities and I'm sure you are right about checking with each one, just my experience. It would surly be nice though.
  18. around here the cities want wet signitures.
  19. Looks like you have a leak or have "no room definition" checked on 1 or some walls.. Check your wall connections also.
  20. Joe Carrick has a system for all that stuff, check with him,
  21. I use a lot of light sources , put them anywhere and they don't show in render view. It's like having extra lights without adding extra light fixtures. Make sure to change the amount of lights in the camera DBX to 50 or 100. also
