  1. Not really. Not a bad idea, but this is for submission for a building permit.
  2. I have a two-story building that I am designing and it has a bay window on the first and second floor that aligns with the first floor. The first floor window has been replaced by a sliding patio door. I can see no way of putting a door in the walls generated by the bay window option. You may delete a window, or insert another window, but not a door. Is there a way to do this, other than to replace the bay window with discrete walls?
  3. Yeah, I did that but the plans examiner wants them on the windows in elevation view. Sometimes I think they are just cruel.
  4. Hmmm... I will have to work on it. Learning the ruby stuff is interesting.
  5. In doing some ruby stuff to automate information required by building department code examiners, so I wrote a bit of simple code to get this. But I need that in an elevation, not in a plan view. No joy it seems. Anyone know why this is?
  6. Ed. That is exactly what I was hoping for. I have a few commercial units to layout, a pharmacy and a restaurant.
  7. A floor plan would be a good thing to see, and perhaps the plan file. You can attach files by clicking on the "choose files..." link at the bottom left corner when you are composing a message in this forum. Also please take the time to fill out your signature
  8. Just want to ask how those of you who really know CA, what do you do for a reflected ceiling plan? I have used the electrical layer tools, but if there is something that I a better practice, I would like to learn about it. Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Wood Stove

    Michael, You are right! I don't know how I missed that. Thanks Doug
  10. I have a client for whom I am designing a sunroom. He wants a wood stove in the design, and I was surprised that there are none in the Chief Architect library. Has anyone done one? Something like this?
  11. 3ds max would be a good candidate.
  12. So I discovered. When adding a new revision it is possible to apply it to one page or to all pages. To edit, one must go page by page. What a time waster! Mind you, had I not made the error in the first place, that would have saved time too. lol!
  13. Perhaps this could be added as a schedule?
  14. Wow, this would be such a useful tool. In Ontario, window sizes are governed by the floor size of a room. For example, a living room must have, at a minimum, 10%, 5% for bedrooms, and 10% for dining rooms. Being able to automatically create a table like this would be amazing.
  15. Ahh, yes, thanks Glenn, you are the man! Thanks, it was so obvious, I just couldn't see it.
  16. I really am lost here Glenn, What page revision section?
  17. Lets say some really careless designer (ummm me... blush) makes a mistake in an edit table. How can it be edited?
  18. Use a Leica DISTO S910 and you will never have to climb a ladder again. Well almost never. You will need the whole kit with the special tripod as well.
  19. yes it was. Here are views with PBR and Rendered
  20. CostalArch,

    If you are still having problems I would be glad to help out and donate a couple of hours to see if the problem can be sorted out.  Send me the plan file or post it in the original thread.

  21. Here is another example of a shattered shade
  22. Chopsaw, On this view part of the structure is missing. I didn't notice this until you asked me.
  23. In the case of the top view, there was just one part missing.
