  1. Seems like a bad way to use a good tool. If do this all the dimension strings will move independently. If you add to the same dimension string you can adjust the string as a unit.
  2. Either create the roof and ceiling planes with solid subtraction (can you convert that plane to a solid?). Or make the shapes in another program. If that terrain shape is correct for you, export it as an object and bring it into Sketchup?
  3. Alright, I gave you some love. But, just-this-once (squinty eye emoji ala Clint Eastwood), punk.
  4. Perry, I don't believe the law will over ride setbacks.
  5. Gene, it looks like your inner teenager emerged and then became Alfred Hitchcock's shadow.
  6. I replaced my 110 with a 120 recently. What a great change. It is pretty fast and easy to load the roll. Color out put is good for condocs.
  7. Thanks all. I will turn the gutter off and make a molding for this condition.
  8. How do I get the gutter to go to the edge as shown and stay there? I have selected the gutter polyline in plan and dragged it around but it disappears faster than a democratic victory. VIZ_BLD V2.zip
  9. In more seriousness. It is a tall and slippery order to create a drawing based on someone else giving you dimensions. To create and accurate plan from photos is pretty much impossible.
  10. If the photos are of this room, yes. All others, no.
  11. ARCH D is 24x36. Your notes call out based on 22x34. I can print a page or 2 at 24x36 but I am not sure if this is what you want?
  12. Is using the words "Canada" and "Intellectual" in the same sentence even legal?
  13. That will be based on the Yoke they choose to use.
  14. For my detail images, I wanted to be absolutely clear in how to build something. Dimensions in 3d are general in nature for most things. In the case of that bracket, dimensions in 2d are appropriate and what would be needed by any shop that was fabricating it. What counts is clarity. I was discussing this with a project manager yesterday and he had a lot of complaints about a particular job he was working on (not my drawings) because he found it lacking in enough dimensioned information. I did not see the drawings but just assured him that the final drawings from me will have plenty of information to get the job built. I try to draw what I want to be on site when I am building so that I can avoid a lot of RFI's.
  15. All done in CA (the pars shown in the detial). Those are objects created with poly solids. I just sent camera views to layout. The yoke in the image was collected from the 3D Warehouse. Some small modifications done in Sketchup.
  16. Very clear. A page with lines and numbers. Is this a connect the dots game. I love those. Draw a building footprint if that is what you are trying to dimension to. Besides, would'nt your surveyor use one control point from a corner and work in from there?
  17. Post the specs of your computer and graphics card. It sounds like a graphics card problem. Also, look in your 3d view defaults to see what is different with the perspective view camera settings that might be causing the difference.
  18. I opened your file and this is what I get for 22 pages printed at 144 dpi. You might be printing at a dpi that is too high to be useful. A lot of your layout boxes are empty so I may not be getting your full file. For an accurate file export a full back up rather than saving. KRAWCYZK-LAYOUT 9-27-16-Layout.pdf
  19. The other method is to draw a cad line to match the camera location and the view direction. Copy and paste that across plans. It is a really weak point of the program.
  20. The better stone textures are in the manufacturers libraries on the Chief website. Cultered Stone, Buechel Stone and Coronado Stone.
