  1. Dude, we are in California. A simple bath remodel does equate to a simple set of drawings in order to get a permit. I got your message and will try and call tomorrow.

     

    For most jurisdictions in Monterey County I have a first page that is just project information, a vicinity map, scope of work, index, contact information, and code notes. Now I have one page fully dedicated to BMP's (required) and Green Building mandatory minimums (required). Monterey county is requiring a page of notes and a site plan dedicated to construction management (where is the material lay down, job site toilet, trash dumpster, truck parking....).

  2. If anyone is bored and wants to experiment....

     

    I am doing a test of the live elevations and line weights. See the attached pdf comparison to a screen shot. What I am trying to do is punch up the elevation lines on color elevations without cad lines. The elevations are set to watercolor and I removed the pattern lines from the shingles so it does not overwhelm the view. The problem is that when printed to pdf with either the CA save as pdf or a 3rd party pdf driver I am not getting any line weight variation.

     

    CA files here

  3. This plan is in V X8 public beta. I am trying to dimension in a section view. I am getting an error that won't let me proceed. Has anyone else seen this type of behavior? This is a plan that was probably started in X6 so it has come forward a few versions. I tried in both a new camera and some of the saved cameras.

  4. What is this mode and how do I get out of it. X8 non public beta version. I have not had time to upgrade to public but this might be the reason. I see this when I click to draw a line. When I click on the rotate icon I am getting a protractor type circle.

    • In Prospective View the 2 story new construction is not showing floor jsts enclosed etc  

    Your upstairs walls are called out to be foundation walls. Change that and the spandrel area is fixed

    • Stair landing about 18" in not showing the wood floor to living area.

    Make a decision on whether you want the floor to join the stairs or the stairs to meet the floor. Move one of them.

    • small windows in Bathrooms are showing a horz. divided light and I cannot make it one light or verticle.

    I don't understand the problem. Select the window, open the dbx, change the window.

  5. I am not sure what is going on with your plan. Did you bring this forward from X2? There is something wonky with the room definitions and I am not sure how to fix it. Even when I paste your walls into a working plan file I am getting your problem.

     

    To start with, I would grab a template file from your X7 directory and start with that as your base. If this is what you already did than try opening my file and see if it works. You will still need to clean some stuff but it is s starting place. Be sure to look at the annotation sets as this is the big change from X2 that should make your life a lot easier.
