I think you challenge should have read something like this: Something weird happened that makes no sense but I did something fairly random and something else happened. I challenge you to guess what it was.

Either 1. that window was placed with a pastes operation, or 2. room was not defined 3. wall no locate

Post your plan when asking a question like this and you will get an answer. Without a plan you get guesses.

Yusuf strikes gold again.

Yes, call tech support or sales support for some direction on that. Also, when you speak to them I suspect they will give you an extension on that trial by just saying "please".

Draw it from the side elevation. How is that legal marijuana thing going in Washington

Draw a poly solid or slab in elevation then set the depth.

I am not sure what you mean by "offset"?

Check an earlier plan in your archives and back up files.

Any shape you make can be turned into a symbol . When creating the symbol you set it as a door.

Amateur hour for me this week. door panel 42.zip

That is a very low resolution image. If you are going to do this I would recommend something at least 250 - 500 pixels. Almost everything you would be able to do in Photoshop you can do in Gimp for free.

Glitch with the last version. Try this one. 8 lite cab door 42 tall.zip

Chief has a great video on ray tracing which is focused a great deal on setting up your materials properly. I saw some major improvements in rendering after view that video. http://video.chiefarchitect.com/?search=raytracing Video # 915

If that is actually a version prior to v10 I don't believe there is any roof editing in 3d views.

Time is so precious.

To get the second floor view, go to the plan view on the second floor and hit the Orthographic Floor Overview button.

I did a quick search thinking that I was missing something and there was going to be a new and easy way to make divided lite cabinet doors. I probably spent 6 minutes searching for the info I could not find and about 5 minutes making the door in the attached file. I included the pre symbol block to examine so you can see how easy it could be to make this door a lot nicer than the simple block shapes that I used to get this one so I can get my as built drawing fairly close to what I needed. For this project the kitchen is not going to be the focus so I just wanted something to match the general look of the actual cabinet. Had this been an actual key part of the project I would have put some proper profile edges on the solids used to construct the door. The cabinet I needed this for is a 42" high upper so it is a tall door. It will resize smaller but the way it was set up the top and bottom rails will squash with the resize.

There have been a few threads showing sneak peeks recently.

Either zip the file for upload or upload to DropBox or similar.

You can attach that file, zip it and it will shrink smaller than the 25mb max limit.

How many lights do you have "on" when rendering that exterior?

Upload the .skp file to the thread. Someone will drop it into CA for you.

25 passes in 33 mins does not sound very slow. It all depends on how the raytrace settings are set up, number of lights and the complexity of objects in the scene. I usually render at around 2500p wide and for an interior shot if I can get one pass in 60 seconds that would be screaming fast on interiors.

X4 -X6 You will see some production speed up in drawing time lag. If you are doing watercolor renderings you will see a significant speed up. Your multiple monitor support works best if you have symmetrical monitors. It has been a long time since using x4 so I don't remember much. The general thing for me is I like to keep current. If there are one or two tools that increase my productivity it is always worth it. X6 kicked in the ability to have multiple keystoke hotkeys. This is huge if you are using it. If you upgrade now you will be getting the x7 upgrade with your SSA support.
