Like Michael said, Mike, no.

Mike, that is a great idea.

Anyone remember Carnac The Magnificent (sp.)? The great Carnac knows all, and is pretty sure you need to snap that landing to the corner of the stairs.

Oh Math. How you vex me so.

Dan, use this method for testing: Start writing and spend at least 5 minutes with the "Reply to this topic" open, then hit "More Reply Options", add an image file then try to post. This is the typical scenario where the world loses connection to my infinite wisdom (if only that Brexit post had gone through....)

P.S. I am using Firefox.

Outside corners are the great nemesis of Material Regions. Look to a different solution.

Like Joe said, showed....

I can toggle those off! Thanks. The only time I use those is by mistake and usually followed by a loud, WTF.

I have hired out of town engineers when I was pretty confident field observation would not be needed. Jared may be willing to travel to the East Bay.

I generally just draw an arrow from the switch and put it on the Electrical Connections Layer. I add the "3" to the switch manually.

You probably want to post your .plan file to get anything but wild guesses for that question.

I have had that happen from time to time. Like Micheal, if I get too wordy Chieftalk edits me down to a lost post. I had an amazing diatribe going the other night lost to the ether.

It just got easier. I did a screen grab of this tree and brought it directly in as the image file. I bumped the transparency in the plant information to 2%.

See images. What I do for the dog walker is to take an image into Photoshop and cut out what I don't want to see to create transparency. I did the same thing with one of the trees from the bonus library. It was a bit time consuming to cut out the holes in the center of the tree but it really only took a few minutes. I could create a fair library of these in 45 minutes. I just use a basic 2d plant and replace the image with my own.

Currently I just draw cad lines and then delete them. Except for the cad lines I don't delete and then notice them after printing and then slam my fist on the keyboard and then order a new keyboard from Amazon.

I would like to see this too. No Print Layer. I have a layer in my details sheet that I use for snapping and alignment. I have made it such an obnoxious color that it is easy to remember to turn off when I see it printed by mistake.

For exterior elevations I move the camera (temporarily) to the cross cut section zone. Then I can place CAD lines at the plate and sub floor to snap my dimensions to. Then move the Camera back.

Items like that I copy a table in from Open Office into a rich text box. This is pasted in:

Based on previous meetings I would block out 2 hours min..

Chief nails the measurement but you can not look at what is in the dimension. You need to  copy the number. See images.

This is the measurement of the dimension string :

This is the real number that you can copy and paste:

Tony, the gable at the front bedroom #2 looks good. Any chance of repeating that on the back. You would avoid 2 angled walls which would be a cost savings (or offset cost to the gable end that would be created). And not that you are asking but, that entry is really a pinch point. Is this a remodel or a new home?

Is this a "Live Elevation"? If you are going to post the file you will need to open the layout and then do a "Backup Entire Plan" in order to have all the data needed to really answer your question. You will likely then need to upload to DropBox due to  file size.

In the words of Dorothy: "Are you a good gripe or a bad gripe?" At least that is how I remember it.
