Plan file, layout file or camera views? Did you close CA and restart?

I thought I had an answer for this (in the Symbols forum page) but now I have a question. I wanted to show an example of changing the grout color on the existing file. Here are the steps to do that in pics but basically 1. I did a back up entire plan for the plan file which is an easy way to get the image file for your tile. 2. I edited that in Photoshop for a darker grout color and saved the image as a .png 3. when I brought that back in I needed to rescale the image in order for it to align with the old image This seems odd to me. If I took the exact image from the material file, why did it come back in at a different scale. The original file had it at 8" x 7" but I needed to both resize and offset. The image files loaded in backwards so read them in named numerical order (from the bottom up on my screen).

A good time was had by all.

These 2 things alone are worth the $500.

You library will remain intact. Honestly, simplify your life. If you do this professionally, the yearly SSA is a cost of doing business. I don't uninstall the last 2 versions in case there is some crazy reason to open an old file in that version. Since x11, I have not had any problems with opening old files so I don't even know if it is worth it to keep the old versions at this point (for me). Some people who work for other folks do keep the old versions so that they can offer to work in the older versions and maintain the old file for someone who does not have the current version. So, to recap, Dude! just freaking upgrade.

If the other method does not work and you are still doing the camera work in CA, this becomes a film editing job. Do the camera move for the exterior and then repeat the camera move for the shot with the interior of one house at a time. Then edit the video to cut as you start to see in the window. Or, move the file to a real video animation production tool..

When you made the symbols, did you make the houses into a shell only? If not, start deleting. I don't think you need interior doors for a site plan.

My structural engineer uses Chief for all his work.

Unless you are licensed as an architect, your disclaimers will most likely offer no protection without E.and O insurance. Personally, I found one company in California willing to offer me E.O. insurance but it is hard to find without being a registered Architect (I am not).

Thanks for checking Graham.

Random. I will have to check to see if my video card settings changed after recent updates.

I am chewing on my mask here. WTF. Twice this morning I am crashing on changing textures. The last one was the exterior floor texture. Please excuse the sloppy model this project is limited to the back deck. Can someone see if this crashes so easily for you? Fallon_dd_v1a.plan

I am working on a project for a logo and the pdf output is breaking up these simple shapes into triangles. Any ideas why this is happening? MAKER LOGO LAYOUT.pdf MAKER LOGO.plan MAKER LOGO LAYOUT.layout

In relation to the original question. V10 is a 1970 VW bug with a minor exhaust leak so you need leave the window cracked for fear of poisoning yourself. X12 is (almost) a Tesla.

If it is possible for you, post a file of one of your plans to this thread and someone can open it up in X12 to verify it will work. If you are concerned with plagiarism, PM me the plan. According to my wife, I can't remember a thing so your secrets are safe with me.

Thanks Perry. I was watching a deck code webinar this past week and they showed a diagram for the 30" height of a deck and then measured 36" out for drop of slope. Previously I had seen this 30" measured at 30" away. Is this a new change? Does it apply in California?

When doing an export of a model that I created in Imperial the scale is way off when I bring it to a 3d printer (Makerbot). Have any of you figured this out for printing? I tried to put it in as cm but that is small by about 2/3. If I change it to in. it goes to about 2x size but not sure exactly yet as I did not print that out.

One of my professors designed a near zero waste building. A pyramidal hip roof that used all plywood without scraps. His design would be even more relevant today with better pre-cut engineered lumber packages. While it was a nice simple design, it was not heavy on being a beautiful design. More like a repeatable army barracks where economy would trump design.

The only time I display graph lines is in layout files that I create to do sketching. I have one I made for an 11x17 sheet that I bring to sites when doing field measure and then one that I have for 8.5x11 sheets for notes when I need to sketch a quick detail and send out for an RFI. If the snap grid is on by mistake (new install of the program, etc.) the discovery is followed by language I generally reserve for responses to news reports by politicians.

How many undos are you set to ?

I am using a pocket door kit from KN Crowder. These are a bit more expensive but rock solid with soft close in both directions. Worth the money when it comes to a door that takes an act of Congress (and a lot of dust) to solve any problems. https://www.kncrowder.com/slidingdoor/type-ccw.php

Thanks

I don't see where I can set the layerset for the Walk Through camera.
