Here are a couple that I created in CAD that I'd like to use if at all possible:

Hey All,
I'm looking to create a cad line with custom arrows for my joist direction labels. I'm just wondering if this is even possible?
I've tried creating one with CAD lines and then blocking it, however when I stretch the newly created block, the arrows become skewed.
I then thought about creating a stretch plane for the block, but that doesn't seem possible either.

Mike,
Here's a video on how to solve the error you are receiving regarding ceiling heights:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8iYgK6vYxZBWWVZZW1UNk5sNk0/view?usp=sharing

It never seizes to amaze me the things you learn in these forums.
Keep up the good works guys; you're all a huge help.

David, it looks like the whole street is up for sale. They announce something being built that would encourage all the selling? Perhaps one owner...look like the would be absentee landlord holding. For the price of the 20% down you could have a real nice house here in town.
Jerry,
I think there's some land assembly going on in that area which have driven the prices up.
Unfortunately these prices aren't unusual at all. You can do a quick search in Vancouver BC at www.realtor.ca and you'll come across these:

https://www.realtor.ca/Residential/Single-Family/17678385/2501-1328-W-PENDER-STREET-Vancouver-British-Columbia-V6E4T1$600k gets you roughly 575 sq ft:

Before drawing your roof plane, ensure that you open up the roof plane dbx and check "Trusses (no birdsmouth)."
Then when you draw in the trusses, the bottom chord should stop at the top plate.

Yeah, thats the impression I get. A small price to pay to be in such a rich built environment though!
The problem is that the prices of homes don't reflect the wages. It's come to light that our housing market is being driven up by foreign investors through a loophole that our government turned a blind eye to.
Here's a property for sale: https://www.locatehomes.ca/bc-real-estate-listings/vancouver/mls-R2119722/2848-East-Broadway-Vancouver-V5M1Z1?id=262141349
Look at the price. That's not a typo - $3.3 million. -

Are you in Vancouver BC? I love that place.
Indeed I am! Great guess

Vancouver is definitely a beautiful place... it's just ridiculously expensive. -

It looks like you have to select each window in the bay 1 by 1 and open up the window specification box.
From there, uncheck "include in schedule".

The nice thing about Revit is that you can do almost anything. The only downside is that it takes forever to complete projects.
-
If it's too big, you can zip it, upload it to dropbox/google drive etc.

When you have a moment, please post the plan

Try creating a hole in the ceiling platform on the level blow.

Was told it would be $1,000 to replace it
It is suggested to get "named insurance" for items like security keys or hardware locks
in case they are lost or stolen
CA will replace a broken lock for a small fee
but if lost or stolen they don't have to - and probably won't
the cost of the insurance is minimal and is a business expense

Didn't even think of this. Thanks for the suggestion

I started out as a Revit user (2 years).
Migrated to Softplan as completing designs in Revit was taking way too long.
Used Softplan for about a year when I lost my USB Security Key. Was told it would be $1,000 to replace it. Instead of replacing it, I just went with Chief.
Within 10 minutes of trying Chief Architect, I instantly regretted shelling out $2600 for Softplan.
For residential design, I honestly don't think there is a better program out there than CA.-

Edit > Default Settings > Dimensions > Dimensions
Select your default style > Primary Format
Change units to inches. -
That displays every layer on the 1st and doesn't do the electrical correctly for the attic.
Have you gone into the Reference Display Options dbx? From there you can adjust what you want to have displayed/hidden as well as the line styles.
-
Toggling on the "Reference Floor Display" option should do this, no?

Thank you very much!
My pleasure

Adjusted to 10' ceilings in the picture below.
If you create invisible walls w/ the room divider tool, you can adjust the ceiling height for the newly created room. From there, you can adjust your roof plane height accordingly.

Is this what you're trying to achieve? Not entirely sure what you're asking...

That's too bad.
I know the ones that come with Chief Architect come close, however I'm just not crazy about them.
