    I have a small job to do that needs a keystone window lintel. I searched the topics, but didn't see anything that referenced this topic. If it were just a few windows I would do each one manually, but there are quite a few to do. Here is an image of what the client is looking for. Doug Norton Whitby Ontario

    By my support you are referring to asking for this feature in CA? I am certainly in for that! Thanks for you help. Doug

    Well ok then. lol. I will give it a try. It will give me a boatload of cross sections to boot. Thanks for the tip.

    but that means two cameras for each and every column grid pair doesn't it?

    I am working on a project that requires the plan view of each floor to have a reference grid that intersects at each column. Is there a easy way to do this where each grid has an alpha callout at the top of the layout view and numeric callout along one or both sides. Doug Norton Whitby Ontario Canada

    Doing a bit more research I discovered this in a video. What does this do for cross sections from the cut slider? However that option seems to be missing in X10. Does anyone know why?

    Hi Solver, I am talking about doing a cut in a perspective view. I sometimes include some views for clarification on a detail to a framer or some other trade. Doug

    Is there a way to have joists, rafters etc show as having a solid fill rather than hollow geometric shapes in cut views? Doug Norton Whitby Ontario

    ok, I will give it a shot

    When I break the wall, and then try to drag it up, all of the garage walls go up with it.

    Hmm, I have tried that but no joy. If you have done it, can post the file so I can see it?

    ok, I will give it a shot
  17. Doug_N
    Yes I tried that, it goes back to being the shorter wall.

    In the attached images, I am trying to get a uniform height in the foundation walls where the garage attaches to the house. The wall section in question defaults to the garage structural detail. Any comments would be welcome.

    Glenn, The idea here was a projection of an individual roof plane. Just imagine rotating the house so that you are perpendicular to the surface of the roof. That is what the contractor is looking for. One could then directly scale rafters along a ridge. This is a hip roof, not a gable roof. So he is looking for a rough cut list for each hip rafter. I see his point actually. Doug

    So here I am again, back at the fountain of information. A contractor is asking for flat projections of roof plans to assist his carpenters in laying out the rafters. I can see how to do elevations, and I can see how to do plan views, but is there any way to do a skewed plan from horizontal projection or section for that matter?

    Hey Chopsaw, My user interface blew up.  No icons and just a drawing window!

     

    Any idea what I did wrong and how to restore the default interface?

      Let me know how it goes as it seems to be happening to quite a few people recently.  If it was definitely not user error you might want to talk to tech on Monday.

      Resetting toolbars from the preferences worked.

      Thanks for the help

    Thanks Chopsaw. It isn't quite what I was looking for, but it will do for the renderings. It is miles ahead of were I was going, that is for sure. Regards Doug Doug Norton Whitby Ontario Canada Deck U Stair Quick View.pdf Deck U Stairs.pdf

    I am doing some deck drawings for a client, and some of the decks are two stories. I have done the stairs using the automatic CA stair generator, and that gave me good results. The client wants me to use deck boards (5/4 x 6) for the treads. So there would be a tread width of 11 1/8 inch total width without ripping the boards, and leaving a 1/8 gap between the boards. So without resorting to a lot of cad work, is there a way to change the default tread to accomplish this? Doug Norton Whitby Ontario Canada

    Thanks for the advice.
