When I resent the layout it corrected. It was not framing.

See image. I adjusted the gables that don't align from an earlier version. The live elevation is holding the memory of the past. Let go of the past.

"the CAD block should cover at least half the glass horizontally and one quarter of the area vertically," Your being restricted by the vertical dimension of the cad block. This is not good. Make your muntins farther apart vertically and it works. I am not happy about this but probably not as unhappy as you right now. You are going to have to create these manually and save them out as a custom door. Only a little less easy and a lot more time consuming than using the custom muntins command.

Sometimes the cad lines must be extended to ensure they touch the window stile or they will not work. Also, they can not be too close to each other sometimes (parallel).

BTW, nice project.

Works here. These are custom muntins from a cad block. Is that what you are trying to do?

Close and you could modify it. https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=871ef478348001fb93fc2b66c6b86b6

David, a great book to start you education with is http://www.amazon.com/Building-Construction-Illustrated-Francis-Ching/dp/0470087811/ref=la_B001H6NK1W_1_8?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1454818856&sr=1-8 All of this authors books are gold. Then get this book http://www.amazon.com/Architecture-Francis-D-K-Ching/dp/0471752169/ref=pd_sim_14_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=51eVXvViJlL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR124%2C160_&refRID=07464FPXRZ9WNVMZ2JS9

Does CADD software age in people years or dog years?

Does the laptop have a slot for a floppy disk?

1. There are some issues with Live Elevations sent to Layout. I will be sending in a new but report this weekend for a plan that I will post soon to see if others get the same result when printing to PDF. 2.Also, the line weights of Live Elevations sent to Layout that use Watercolor with Line Overlay do not hold the line weights. 3.There is a bug with dimensions in a camera view section when headers are present. So far, none of the negatives come close to out weighing the benefits. Great version update.

I own what I draw. My contract is clear on that and I will not work without a contract.

From the elevation the curved shape appears to be a porch of sorts. If that is the case and there is depth to the space beyond those colums I would probably make that curve with a doorway and then shape the ceiling or use a fake ceiling out of a molding or polyline solid shape. The columns would obscure the door casing on the sides. There would be some cad work to get the plan view to appear correctly but that would be the case anyways since those columns are actually pilasters (probably).

This is what I love about the Active Layer Display Options thingy ma bob. I always have that tool open and set to ----> This will pop the selected objects layer to the front of my list and then I can quickly lock that puppy out so I don't keep making the same mistake and expecting different results (which happens to be the clearest definition for insanity).

Also the toilet width does not meet code. You need 30" clear to finished surfaces.

"Why is it like that?".....Cue the Waitress, "Hey, I only gots 2 hands"

I have noticed this too. I think the camera is going to a blank area of the plan. Try zooming out or show extents of building after you get the blank page view.

Whole house energy calculations. Runs through a state agency for approval before getting approved by the local jurisdiction.

I did not have a problem with getting those dimensions on your plan with End to End. The initial snap of the dimension line goes to the edge and then I need to adjust the dimension to the center. Small hassle to move them but not very time consuming. Make sure this snap is turned on.

I don't want to be a tool but to reiterate what Joey "alluded to", a reflected ceiling plan is done by drafting. We get a nice guide to start us off and then we draw a bunch of lines and circles and stuff until the drawing begins to not suck and tell the story. Happy Friday.

David, you would be wise to get Terry Munson's book http://www.amazon.com/Residential-Design-Using-Chief-Architect/dp/0692498699 and watch this video series: https://video.chiefa...ch=Breckenridge Good basic training on how to get rolling with this software

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....).

Next you will need to learn how to post the plan. In there your answer lies.

Thanks for the info Ryan.
