Finally getting the chance to update. Tech support were brilliant, found the problem and then CA issued an update.

I had a problem similar a month ago, CA where really onto it and issued an update. This solved my problem and the machine actually appeared to be faster.

Hi Joe Yes have been restarting computer multiple times a day, just updated the video drivers and opened CA almost immediately crashed. So will keep working with TS, might just run a full virus check as well just in case.

Yes I am,that's what started the problems. however TS have just came back suggesting out of date video driver, so just downloading now. I work on the principle of if it ain't broke don't touch it. but eventually you have to update.

oops forgot to say this is X17, I have not updated my signature

I have lodged a support ticket, but was wondering if anyone else is having major serious crashes from doing really minor things, even like picking a window or wall in plan view.

I would use reference plans. note plans are not just a single layer normally.

Jim Now I understand, it is really hard to get auto roofs fully correct. I would just manually fix up that 1 plane and be done.

Jim why is that roof plane that has the arrow drawn on it not 1 plane right across.??

You can use version X12 until windows wont support it, X15 requires you to keep paying if you want to use it. There used to be a monthly rental subscription, not sure it still exists, but might be a cheaper way to pay for a months use each time you use it. Just a thought.

It is the distance the bottom of the wall is to the floor level, usually below. here we have to extend the cladding a min of 50mm below the top of the slab.

The easiest way I have found to renumber is either group or un-group in the schedule dialog box exit out then go back and do the opposite. Then they sould al be from w01 to whatever.

Are you using X15 latest update?? It would definitely help to know what version of the program you are using. I am not having the exact same problem, but I am trying to sort a print problem that just raised its ugly head yesterday.

Reduce the gable sub fascia to lift the soffitt

I do it as you show it, makes it easy to know what the line width will be in mm. I assume when using a board your pen widths were also in mm. However for those using imperial measurements there might be something better.

check the alignment of the ends of the roof planes, probably not accurately aligned.

It does not appear to be fixed, have to zoom extents all the time

That's the dialog I was thinking of

It just means it has not been generated by an AutoDesk product. It would appear that this has been the case for 2 or three versions of Acad. I have found no problem opening any of my files.

Use plan veiw sets or layout sets.

Thanks Joe will have to try

I agree with the above users, I have never had a problem. Not even a antivirus warning from this forum. All file coming in are automatically scanned but never had one blocked.

YES I always have do the fences in elevations and sections with cad.

I think you are trying to rely on the auto function too much. Auto tools are never always totally accurate. I would expect for the girder truss to locate at a change in pitch. I use the auto functions to get close and then manually adjust as required. IMHO that seems an odd way to frame the roof.

Please supply drawings of want you want and what you are getting.
