  1. Is this what you had in mind? This was done by changing the existing roof pitches of the exterior walls to match the height of the interior walls, after pulling the ridge back to the interior walls, and then adding roof planes to the new ridges and lowering the pitch. I did one side them reflected that side over the center of the distance between the exterior walls. Hope that helps
  2. it seems to me that temporary dimensions are used differently than all other dimension types and should work dynamically with the zoom level. That way they would always be readable regardless of screen size.
  3. How can I change the size of the text and arrows in temporary dimensions. When doing details I need to measure small differences in locations, and the text is way to big to read and the arrows are monsterous
  4. To add to those woes. some jurisditions will not allow a document to be "locked" so that they can add examiner's comments.
  5. Hey Coop! Wow, I spent a few hours trying to figure that out myself and did not notice that. Well done and to gold stars!!!
  6. The left handrail should work but the right handrail can be done with a 3d moulding polyline, but not as an automaticly generated feature.
  7. Ed the good thing about that plan is will keep the snow from falling on people walking by. Just saying...
  8. This might be the answer to your quirky backsplash behavior
  9. Hi Perry, I am on the waiting list for this as well.
  10. Sounds like you should contact support right away!
  11. I have just purchased an iMapper system. I currently use a Matterport Pro 2 camera, but lately the floor plans being issued are way out of whack. The iMapper is a lidar system that is accurate to 2mm over 30m. I will let you all know how this works out my asbuilt work. https://www.imapper.tech/
  12. That can be done, but it has the disadvantage of using the defaults of the plan file that one is pasting to. So if rooms from the copied plan has different floor heights, the and the pasted building is using default room heights, then the pasted building inherits the native heights.
  13. so far as merging two plan files, I don't think so, but you can have two plan files merged using reference layers in a layout file.
  14. Please post the plan file. Export an unconnected plan file if you are using managed projects. Make sure to close the file prior to trying to post it if you are using unmanaged projects.
