  1. He had me at "Good day sir". I am happy to agree to disagree on almost anything if there is an effective use of "Good day sir!"
  2. check your distance from the origin. Chief does not like to be a great distance away from the origin. Go to plan view CAD - Point - Place point Open up the DBX for the point and check its location. If it is very very large numbers, that is your issue.
  3. Those point markers mean that you are floating a dimension in space rather than snapping it to something in (real) CAD life.
  4. Make a flat roof (new file) and place a skylight the size that you want. Then save it out as a symbol for import as an object for your usage.
  5. Dude, I was able to work Hyperbolic Paraboloid into her previous thread on this same question. Don't take that away from me. Do you have any idea how many years pass between being able to work that term into casual conversation? I will now return to trying to get dodecahedral slotted into a reply.
  6. If A and B are parallel, then A and C will be able to be horizontal. The only way to do it with the plan as shown would be to have your roof planes be hyperbolic paraboloids.

    Sometimes you need to zoom in to get a snap to work better. Move the dimension string closer to the wall and zoom in to see if you can get the snap to hit the correct spot.
  8. Here is my fast and sloppy version. The bedroom is a bit small for how much they would like to put inside. Thanks for the bed parts; they made this an easier task. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tsuosjwcuupe8ysl2q6qf/bedroom-with-bunks.wmv?rlkey=ciq0cga2hl9qvego9jtu8dkg5
  9. Those are the pics they sent. I am rendering a walk through now. Nice a sloppy.
  10. Thanks, this is the request I got from my client this week.
  11. Also, if you are putting a layer of ply above, you can look at fire rated ply. I am not sure how stinky it would be for out-gassing? The other thing you may be able to work with on the underside are intumescent paints. But, I think the fire path is both directions thus needing fire resistant materials each side.

  13. Just a heads up, this is really tight and may not meet local codes.
  14. I just opened your file. The stairs and the landings are at off angles to the walls. Did you meant for them to be misaligned? You will need to clean up the angle before you can snap it together.
  15. You may need to make a break along the line of the landing where the stair meets it for the stair to connect.
  16. Thanks, I just took a snip of the wall corner illustration and sent it to my framer to help clarify the reason why I asked him to change the U shaped framing at the T intersections of exteriors walls (for the 3rd time now). I have the open intersection detail on my sets but it is rarely understood how important it is to keep these spaces open for insulation to avoid pockets that could collect moisture if they hit the dew point. The most ignored details:
  17. This is a way. Adding special oversized handles to the cabinet seals the deal. I actually don't use an appliance in those situations but just a cabinet. The appliance would be noted in plan view with 'D.W.', etc.
  18. The actual color is a specification. The color you want to see is something you may have to adjust based on lots of things involved in the rendering and how you will deliver it. Your lighting is affecting this as well as your monitor settings. Remember, always adjust (A), never fudge (F). -Konrad Von Appen (1st and 2nd year prof.)
  19. You must use the Vector View rendering style for Plot Lines to be available.
  20. I did not test this but just a guess. You have A currently. Try B?
  21. You might need to model a custom eave line profile to match the angle of the roof. If the molding has the angle on the edge perhaps those will connect better. That gable line profile gets pretty ugly at the bottom edge.
