.....a Studio model sometime over the next year.

YES, for sure. wait for the next generation Max Studio with the M4 chip!!

my M1 is great. up until X15 it was absolutely perfect machine. but it's a bit slower already running the current X16.

been Using the base model Mac Studio M1 since its debut. 

been excellent for CA14 and now CA16.  looking forward to getting the next update M4 next summer.

where can i get that Parking Curb?

@buzzsaw204 please provide a plan file. I can't diagnose what that polyline is or what layer its on and if its just a polyline or a polyline based object. It looks like you have a polyline based object below your terrain perimeter which you are selecting and is likely on another layer

Im not sure I know what you are referring to. To my knowledge there is no temporary line length unless possibly you are using a polyline label. in which case that's the polylines,labels text style.

Thats the Text Style of whatever layer that line is on

it's not!  this is the Temporary number show up during you are editing the poly like, stretching and pulling the handles.

The text style on the poly line is different than the editing text style.

hi,

Where is the font size Setting for the temporary dimension Size while I am during the editing/stretching of the poly line?

hi all, 

i tried ArchitectGPT and i kinda like it, for quickly whipping up multiples iteration of Elevation ideas, just from wireframe view.

the clients seem very responsive and willing to pay for to the additional service I provide with this.

anyone using anything else in your Workflow??

cheers,

....colors for different framing types.

 

 

YES, i was hoping theres that setting.

The floor Joist can be filled separate from the headers & trimmers of opening. like yo can for the beams.

hi, 

Is there a setting to have the header, trimmer, Beam. come in with Fills automatic?

i would alway do manually, after it's framed in.

Did you uncheck merge co-linear walls before breaking the walls and setting the pitch.  It should be 3 separate walls. works for me

yes, did that. still not.

heres the plan.....

Roof 3 pitches x16.plan

you also have to tun this off after breaking the wall and changing the pitch

 

Doesn't work. still 12/12 on the Main left roof.

19 minutes ago, DRAWZILLA said:

look in the wall DBX, there you can add any pitch you want different than the default on a wall-by-wall basis.

 

 

yes, you can set each wall to different pitch.

But when you auto generate the roof, the opposite side steel takes the pitch of the main roof.

Even if you break the wall, and assigned it a different pitch.

hi all, 

Right now when I generate Auto roof, the entire building is one pitch. 

Then I would go in and change the roof pitch per area to what i needed.

Is there a setting to set the pitch independently per Area, to Auto Roof generate?

Hi friends,

 

I'm using the technical illustration rendering technique for my interior elevations, and there's a weird light orb on the image, top, center. Is there a way to get rid of this?

i have same issue of this...and been wanting to ask this question.

hi,

Back in ver. X15, the layering for Auto Detail was placed in separate "CAD, Default" layer.  which was great because I could change the line type to a thinner Line to print.

Now in X16,  the layering for Auto Detail was placed in same layer as the wall of its placing in "Wall, Normal" , "Wall, Foundation" layer. which takes the same line weigh that I can't change.

Is there a setting for Auto Detail, I can change the layering back to X15 method.

hi,

i have this gap shown on top of my wall, when roof is generated.

how can I turn this off or get rid of it.

thanks,

This is currently working for what I wanted to achieve but I'm wondering if there is a better way to accomplish that might be easier. 

 

 

I've always been frustrated on this topic as well... I wish there was a way to set a global scale and output size, and you can free to adjust the drawing scale.

Same with me, I work on a smaller projects and sometime my drawing scale can be more obscure, 5/32" or 3/16" just so I can fit on my 11x17 pper that is my standard.

I'm using the same .Plan file and also tried a new project created in X16.  The Physically Base Rendering is considerable slower.  

Video Card is Nvidea 4080.  Anyone else notice this?

yes, much more choppy. hope thats resolved in Full release.

....you just use it.

 thank you!

You never drag items from the library. I'm pretty sure you just select it in the library and Draw a wall out as you normally would.

it would have to exist in the Plan for you to use it. 

if it's not....then you would need to Create/make a new OR import it, so that you have it, to able to use it.

Hi, 

i thought i have done this step/task many time before of importing a Wall Type from the Library.

I thought you could always just drag and drop the Wall Type it into your plan? 

That doesn't seem to work anymore, or am I forgetting some other step it another way to do it??

i was ponder this same idea.

they have Field for it in the schedule but no attribute.

disappointing that CA cant generate a Wall elevation Area.  

they already have % openings field, which is great.

Not sure why they won't provide the Wall height. Instead of making us jumping thru hoop to have it.
