It was a bundle for very little more, so I went that way. I am having to provide more in dwg format now so Acad LT lets me check and adjust things. I found the free or cheap alternatives did not really do it for me.

I dont think you need it as Revit is stand alone.

We are expected to provide colour plans which are much easier for tradies to follow.

I use green for roofs, brown for sewer lines, blue for sw lines as examples. Then when consented by the Territorial Authority they  place a green stamp, which must be green on the prints on site.

I just purchased Revit lite bundled with Acad lite last week.

It seems like this is an actual comparable programme with CA, except CA has more automated tools eg framing. However Revit seems to have much more control of every item. There are heaps of you tube training videos available, I have watched about 20 hours so far.

Also plenty of country specific fixtures etc ( families) available for free.

My plan was to get Revit LT to evaluate and learn, while still working in CA for the time being, until my SSA expires in July. This was done before the announcement by CA as like you our exchange rate is similar( really bad). Then if I find lt insufficient I can go to full Revit or stick with CA. This also gets me trained on the industry std for this country.

at $1995 per year that makes CA dearer than Revit LT bundled with acad LT.

I just yesterday paid US$424 for a yearly licence of the above. I am yet to make a judgement as to which is better.

The SSD is too small, 2Tb would be better. I am not familiar with AMD cards so no comment.

The system in my signature is a month old and works well.

I think it is overkill, I just got the system in my signature. this works fine. As yet I haven't done full render but that will be next week.

However in saying this I don't know the type of work you do, only you can decide that.

FYI my system should be around $2000 for you based on exchange rates.

Found this same problem on Friday. However it was only on half of the walls.

My fix was to select don't go through ceiling in the wall framing dialog box, or something like that not got CA open at the moment.

It seems like the framing has changed in X14, however as I didn't usually frame the buildings due to a slow computer until last week this maybe didn't matter.

Glad to hear it worked for you but for me there is nothing to delete ..according to CA , as auto purge is on , so the purge button is greyed out.

 

M.

Mick I also purged materials, not sure how that would effect anything thou.

I did a purge of the blocks and it is gone.

I find it works the majority of the times, but not always. And sometimes reverts back to an older version plan file. This appears much more less consistent in X14 but not getting to the bottom of it yet.

I get that also, but have not been able to work out where it is. possibly in a block or something .

It will depend on computer specs.

It "runs" on mine but very slow. FYI

Sample plans are created in CA otherwise they cannot be called samples

CA seems to be designed to use the gaming cards. Apparently it is different from the major cad packages eg. Solidworks.

You will need to have the exact same file path on both computers, or CA wont find links.

Yes I have noticed this also. only doing 1 small job in X14 so far as trying to finish off a heap of projects in X13.

There was some mention of this at the start of beta.

I am hoping it is only a beta thing.

Check out the simpson strong tie library

Going x10 to x13 is sure a large jump I did X10 to X12 and found that a massive step.

However X13 runs fine on my system, Not real fast but fast enough.

I dont think that it would run X14 sufficently, but have not seen the min specs for X14.

Hope the comments help.

Look at your truss settings, particularly the web size and play with that. both for roof and floor trusses.

I use a separate schd for each floor. I believe you can set each schedule to use say door1 to 14, 15 to 25  two create separate scheds  but have not needed to try that.

You can change the door numbers to start from.

Maybe that is CA's terminology, I get the same result as everyone else. I notice that for angles that join up when mitred ends selected if that is not selected they dont even join.

Have you tried reversing the wall

No totally different issue.

Have you made sure CA is set to use that card and not the onboard graphics
