  1. Post your plan file. Sometimes this is a room definition problem, but hard to know without poking around the plan.
  2. Lady, you need to sketch out what you are trying to achieve. That building is not working very well at the moment. If your plate height currently is what you want for the roof then the rooms upstairs are unusable. The plate height for the upstairs rooms probably need to start at about 60" minimum for those spaces to have a fighting chance.
  3. Here is one I ran through the FotoSketcher program.
  4. The things that make that more real looking would be better textures and using bump maps. Search the forum for some great threads recently regarding grass textures. If you can put a bump map on your roof that would really help since you see so much roof.
  5. I have renamed all my plants in the library along with the bonus libraries. This includes a sub category note on each one for general description. If you would like to have a copy of this....Just kidding.
  6. Sold. Everyone welcome Jamie to the fold. I promised him I would put in a good word with Scott so he would wait for his second post to go all bridge troll on him.
  7. I could not get any of these library doors to take muntins. The window took the muntin fine horizontal but did not take one vertical. Is there a minimum size setting for lites that I am unaware of?
  8. I did not have a problem with pasting. I am using Open Office but I don't suspect that matters. It may be in your Rich Text set up. See if yours matches mine?
  9. Price drop to $1500. Anyone? Crickets chirping?
  10. Did they legalize Marijuana in VA also?
  11. You are probably going to need to make a symbol for that. If the stretch planes are done correctly you can resize to fit windows in elevation.
  12. Actually, this image shows the dynamic shelf tool that you can adjust the layer. It is not the shelf and pole. That is found in the library. I gave you a library item and the only thing that changes after importing is that you click one button to unblock the shelf from the library import layer thing trick. Get back to work. You live in the sunshine state. Have a glass of orange juice. BTW, I worked in Bradenton for a year in an animation studio run by a couple of "interesting" character. At least one was recently convicted of fraud of some sort. Good times.
  13. The above works with X7. My Delorean is in the shop so I don't know about future versions.
  14. 1. Change the layer of the shelf as desired. 2. Shift select the object and then make an architectural block. 3. Adjust layer 4. Now add to the library. 5. After importing from library and unblocking the Architectural Block the layer remains
  15. Heck no. I have a spare license.
  16. Full version license of X7. SSA has expired. I will cover the $50 transfer fee. $1600. You do the math (and you will like the numbers). Alan
  17. Rather odd to me. Seems like a bug. But, by simply changing the room above to be a named space rather than "Unspecified", this is corrected.
  18. It is almost always remedied by adjusting this setting down to a small increment.
  19. Buzz, from what you posted of your work you are a very competent professional who knows how to produce construction documents. In the same way it appears you have a tight grasp of learning CADD software. To anyone who is skilled at your level, spend the 15 minutes it takes to get a clear understanding of Anno sets and win from the small amount of time spent on educating yourself (and it appears that you have done that). Because, that 15 minutes will pay for itself by hours of return on the investment. When I am doing construction I sometimes run an extension cord out to a saw. Then I find I need a sander (or the jig saw) so I unplug the first saw and plug in the second saw. If I have to swap that cord one more time I run for the 3 way splitter for the cord so I can plug in both tools. If i don't I will end up switching that cord another 5 or 6 times in the next hour or two and I will lose time and momentum. This is the Anno Set equivalent on the job site. Sending a site plan to layout with the floor plan notes never needs to happen again (and for me it no longer does). Chief is fairly easy to learn but difficult to master. I would say this is true of most things.
  20. Howdy Pardner', ya might need to mosy over to the three deee warehouse... https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=6d14f1e95641dbb329a42a0444436860
  21. This is the behavior I am getting. I think this is what you are asking for?
  22. Link to Wendy and the annotation set vids https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/6468-stream-of-stuff-from-wendy/ Buzz, 1. What is your drafting experience? Did you start years ago with hand drawings? Always used a CADD program? 2. Are you making construction documents? 3. Have you thought of paying someone for an hour or two of training? In my opinion, if you (or anyone within the sound of my voice) are producing con docs (for yourself or for hire) you can probably boost your productivity by 10 -20% with a clear understanding of the annotation sets and a good work flow and template/defaults set up.
