Come on people! It is Friday and no one has made a joke about a post titled "Moving Solids". I just don't know if I can continue to carry this load by myself?

Sometimes I am able to hack this by dividing up the offending room below with invisible walls so that I can make the adjustments.

This is a good source for info on wall assemblies https://www.usg.com/content/usgcom/en/design-studio/wall-assemblies.html

Rene, are you importing the Matterport OBJ and working from that? Do you have a sample file that I could try? I am looking at getting a cheaper camera (maybe Ricoh Theta V) so I can photograph my upcoming build but curious if I should just be hiring out a Matterport camera crew for my next as built.

Nice trick Michael. Fast and easy method compared to scrolling my 10,000 layers. The two most annoying lines that appear are the ceiling break lines (unless they are alerting you to an issue you need to fix) and the "S" step footing markers. If I had a nickel for every curse word I uttered... A hover over and report the layer tool would be nice.

Although I am not an Architect I did graduate from an Architecture school and was taught structural design by one of the preeminent experts in the field at the time (he designed the St. Louis Arch structural plans). I will impart all the knowledge that he passed on to my class. "Deeper, Cheaper, Better". I hope this helps. Pratt '89

They add a little bit to the price but great for low headroom situations.

@Rob, you're forgiven, this time...

@Rob Ask Mr. Google

I just updated my video card driver. Nvidia latest driver is from 6/22/21. Thanks,

Is this something I should be worried about? I have an RTX 3080 card but Ambient Occlusion is not available in CA?

Full information. File that started in x12 and is nearly complete in DD. Not a very large project (1600 s.f. plus a detached garage). Crash 1 happened with a pbr camera open and I touched a section of attic wall. I got a message about the video something and it will be shutting down. Crash 2, in camera view (I think it was technical illustration) and I duplicated a poly solid to copy and paste in place, no warning it just vaporized. If anything is repeatable I will send it in but there is not reason to yet.

If you have updated to the release version of X13, have you done a PBR with RT and line overlay? I noticed that the line overlay in the beta version at line thickness 3 was still fine and crisp. Now at 3 it looks like a conte crayon after a fifth of Vodka.

Where is the fanfare?

Know your audience.

The danger with the general note "V.I.F." is that the general notes are where the donut is placed when reading the drawings. Put the critical info where it is going to be read.

I measure interior walls. And same as you, I try to shoot long distances with the laser to get overall dimensions so I can check that against my wall thickness determined measurements of a series of rooms. There will be a few areas on the outside that need a measurement to help with the start of the drawing. Then, this varies based on the who I am on a job. If I am a the general contractor, I can draw without a high level of CYA since I will be on the job site. If I am a building designer and someone else is going to build. Almost every string of dimensions has a "V.I.F." in the string.

I am not commenting on this thread until you change the title of the question to something more family friendly.

Thanks for posting this guide. If you are working in California please note that some of the information in this guide is not correct for California residential code. Where it calls out for 21" clear in front of the toilets, California code calls for 24" for a 30" wide zone.

I do not show the terrain in elevation views since you tend to get what you are seeing (or worse most of the time). I draw that with CAD lines or a polyline box that I shape to the line and then fill to mask what I want to mask.

In that view, look at ALDO and check which layers are locked.

@jasonN, the red line is for an existing grade line.

My set up is almost automatic. I have a hot key called "Delete Facebook off your phone and get back to work". Yeah, cad lines brought forward. That way I don't have to get my foundation correct. Big time saver in doing things "good enough for camera".
