    I think there may be a way to do it. First export to an autocad file, then from autocad save as a PDF with layers. Then Acrobat will have a layer set that can be turned on or off at least I think so. I will give this a try tomorrow and let you know how it works out.

    OK smarty pants, how did you do that? LOL
  3. Doug_N
    yes, that is it exactly

    Found the problem! Each section of the stairs has its own options for open to below. The wall section of stairs to the left of the window in this image indicated open below, but when I cycled that option the part of the wall that was obscuring the window disappeared.

    I opened the plan and then did a clipped cross section through the windows. I also tried moving the lower window with the problem vertically to see if the covering was part of the window or part of the wall assembly. Here is an elevation view of the problem Here are the stair options that was found in the sample file. At the moment I don't have a solution, but I am curious about this and will do more work to see if I can solve the problem. My purpose in posting this reply is to just illustrate what Diane was talking about.

    Ahh I didn't get that. So he wants the grade level to be absolute with MSL. It could be useful to have geodetic references available in CA would't it.
  7. Doug_N
    I did'n do that manually. I just changed the elevation reference in the default pole interface. CA fixed everything after that, I deleted the irrelevant markers.

    Is this what you mean?

    Nice work on the details.

    Hi Solver, Here is a manually created keystone and inserted by dragging into place. The automatic keystone window treatment would be great if we could edit height, width, depth and inset distance. Doug

    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?

    Here is a view of what I am talking about

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