  1. Justin, How did you get that topo data out of Earth pro?
  2. Thank you Greg need this every now and then!
  3. Kjell, Looks great! how are the mountains done?
  4. when roof plane is selected, zoom in to label. there is a grab handle in the label text, grab and move.
  5. It sounds and looks like your print default line weight has been changed by accident. Open layout, Look at your print page setup. Advanced line weight options, make sure its set to 100 MM
  6. Jim have you tried a reinstall. there is a new patch as of this morning.
  7. Just checked there isnt even a business category on the web site. damn kids!
  8. Yes I think your right Ray. Forgot its the 1st At least I hope and pray its not true!
  9. What were the images of? a pdf? Need more info. UPLOAD THE PLAN PLEASE OR A PICTURE
  10. Larry, I found an invisible wall inside your kitchen at the bench location. deleted that wall and no more orange wall outside. The wall type was interior white fill. As for the framing of the deck. I would use a backup file to copy, paste in place. I always make sure once the deck is closed into a room, to open dbx and check (keep framing after deck is deleted.) then uncheck the auto feature. That way my custom adjustments to framing, posts, and footings are kept.
  11. create an architectural block of the trim, in elevation view with the interior trim turned of, use a p-solid and molding line. block together and copy to your library as millwork. of course you will need to make one for each window size your dealing with.
  12. Bernie, Also here is an image i grabbed off the net.
  13. Bernie, Use south for your 43.25 latitude, East for the 79.866
  14. oops, forgot to hit attach button inside-corner-block.calibz
  15. Here is one, made with a solid and a molding line. Hope you find it useful.
  16. Make one and save to your user library for future use. change the number as needed.
  17. In your default settings, camera defaults- change FOV to a different number like 35.
  18. Bernie, Cant convert a rich text to normal. Copy and paste into a new box. The rich text box, text style is controlled by the layer. open the text layer and look at the drop down of available text styles. If you need another one make one.
  19. don't follow, can you post an image?
  20. Select your text tool, (you have to do this for both types-rich text and regular text separately) Hold shift key,draw a marquee around entire plan. Open dbx (if regular text go to fill in left column)( rich text go to appearance) make selection no fill. Then set your defaults in your profile plan to no fill, if you don't want it in the future.
  21. AIA naming set is gone, not in X6. Here is a copy from X5 if you want to use. it. I have always wondered how accurate it is to the real world use.
  22. What kind of cooling is it going to have? I would suggest self contained cooling. I used "CORSAIR CWCH60 Hydro Series H60 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler" my average temp is 31-32c, under 100% full load (raytrace operation) running OC @ 4ghz temps are 52-54c This will help achieve the best life expectancy out of your cpu.
  23. I agree with Joe and Barton, go with a desktop build! Also a 55" monitor may be a bit large for the mobile office. The van interior doesn't seam long enough, even with chairs placed at the rear door. Also consider the vibration damage potential to the electronics! If the van doesn't have air ride i would plan on isolation dampers for the mounting points of all fixtures. Carefully consider what you need to accomplish "on Site" I would have to assume the area that you would be building these million dollar homes in, would be a facility to rent a meeting room for the occasional client presentation. I actually thought about doing this as well. Came to the conclusion that it was way to much overhead to make financial sense. my 2 cents.
  24. your welcome, and thank you again to the original creator whomever you are!
