which NVidia card like gtx780 or ?

Nice thought, Nessie, but we in the remodeling business usually have lots of changes both before and after permits, I really don't want to re-do those roofs all day long. We usually can't lock anything until it done being built b/c if there is a change from the permitted plan, the cities want you to re-submit the change before continuing with the build. Just the kind of crap we go thru.
-
And as we all know you cannot frame a conventional overbuild over trusses unless you do it manually. Wish Chief would fix that.
-
so Glen are Michael video's wrong or not?

I use live updates for prelims and switch to on demand for final drawings b/c sometimes, ( don't know why) some don't update always, when I have both the plan and layout open all the time. If I close the plan ,and re-open, the layout always updates.

That 96 dpi number is from your printer, set it higher in the printer settings, just s guess at it.
-
Just ray trace it, I can do ray traces in a couple of minutes. other than that your out of luck.
-
so doesn't your view show it, looks like it to me.
-
Don't know, looks like it did give the vault to me, I must not understand what you are asking, maybe framing is turned off in that wall elevation

Cabinet automatic_label - what's the source
DRAWZILLA replied to Joe_Carrick's topic in General Q & A
We had a meeting with Marc (Scott sponsored) about cabinets and Marc said they all pretty much use a different code and he has come up with a macro that covers the cabinets he uses, but any others will need their own macro. -
yes, it would be nice and needed desperately.

You can just turn off soffits for the roof planes and add a molding p- line for the soffits where ever you want them. Draw the molding you need in a section view, then apply it to the molding p-line. then draw the molding p-line in elevation view and adjust the height you need.

I really like using the wall elevation views , they work for me.
-
If you balloon frame that wall it will show the vault in a wall elevation view. That is how it would be built in real life.

How to lighten up the roof fill pattern for plotting
DRAWZILLA replied to capitaldesigns's topic in General Q & A
I have created several layer sets and anno-sets for everything I send to the layout, with line weights adjusted to what I want. It's all automatic. Like Glen said you can also adjust the material line weight -
I have been using an engineer for all my projects for 40 years now, no problem in California. He does do the markups and sizes and calc's including lateral . I just draw it all for him.- It's legal. He stamps his pages
-
Really shouldn't have to place a break in all you walls, seems like a waste of time. I have been just drawing a box around the outside edge and making it a thicker line ( like 55). I like that look better .
-
Maybe you have to use the edit wall intersections tool to miter the foundation wall to get that plate to follow. It really doesn't matter to me b/c it never shows in anything I show on the plan
-
Not me .looks like a shadow of some kind, I sometimes see shadows doing that
-
That's funny b/c in the previous downfall( around the early 90's) all the California guys re-located to Colorado.

Where are controls for deck posts when adding stairs?
DRAWZILLA replied to Clemsongrad's topic in General Q & A
Sometimes I have to turn off newels ( make them zero width) and just add my own. A lot of times I make the wall at the top of the stairs an invisible wall so there is no conflict with the newels. -
they are partially improved at this point- but still better than before.

DRAWZILLA replied to Clemsongrad's topic in General Q & A
Just change your newels to "0" inches. You can then manually add posts wherever you want. -
You really should keep any special textures in the X9 Data file in the textures file, that way you always know where they are, like macro's in the scripts file, toolbar file, image file, etc.. I wonder how many people actually use those files for storage. They now get brought forward automatically with every upgrade, I use to do it manually every time.

Note, you can also put macro's in those fields
