Hi folks,

I want to create a corner window with two different profile windows where height is different on both faces of windows like the one circled RED in this picture.

I tried but failed to remove the corner post if I change the height of one side like this

Need your guidance. I am using x10.

Thanks in advance.

But CAD details from view option is greyed out!

What to do?

The Awning is likely on the Fixtures,Exterior layer by default and you will need to turn that layer on in the layerset that the cross section camera is using and it is not likely on by default.

Done as directed.

You probably have the Layer with the symbol turned off in your 3D Camera Layerset I think it is on Fixtures, Exterior, but select it in 2D plan View and check it's layer assignment and then make sure that layer is turned on in the 3D camera View too.

( I have colour turned off in 3D View below ready to send to the CAD DETAIL)

 

While in cross-section elevation I just turned on the camera view layer set and the symbol is showing now.

Take Elevation Views from each side (1) and then convert each Elevation Camera View to a CAD Detail (2) , then add or remove CAD lines and add  Dimensions etc as needed (3) a and b

 

1.)   

2.)   

3. a 

 

3.b.  

Whenever I try to take a cross-section elevation view of the symbol which I copied to a blank new plan, no 3D view appears. Views only appear if I press orthographic full or floor overview buttons whereas pics you uploaded depict that these views should come through cross-section elevation as you encircle in pic #2.  May I be helped a little more?

I know this is going to sound heartless but it seems clear that you are a complete neophyte to the program.  We all try to help one another here in this forum but when you don't even know the basics of how the program works you are going to have to spend a bit of time going through the beginner video tutorials to learn some basics.  

 

If then you have some problems I am sure there are a lot of us that will leap to your assistance.  In the meantime, if this is something that you need urgently, I would suggest you hire someone to do the drawings that you need.

You are right at it. I am learning a lot from all of you. Thank you.

Thank you so much, I just logged into the CA Forum and saw your post. Will definitely try it.

If you are getting the fixture dialog box when you double click or hit ctrl+E, then it looks like you missed a key step in Chopsaw's post. You need to convert the view to a CAD detail. Search help for how to accomplish that. Once its a CAD detail, the entire view is made up of polylines, so you should be able to get the exact length, angle, etc when you double click on a segment.

Yep. I am missing the part of converting the view into CAD. How to do it in a simple way? 

Looking for a short cut.

Did you read this post from Chopsaw?

Yes I did but unable to completely understand.

Double click on the line. 

 

Or click on the line and do a CTRL+E on your keyboard.  

That is the fixture specification dialog box. How could I read the angles of steel bars upon which the whole structure is made for this awing

Just click and open.  You will see the Line Specification DBX with length and angle data.

By just clicking I don't see any drop box! 

how to open individual lines?

I want someone to assist me in making a CAD plan for this shed as I am going to get this shed built. I am confused about how to measure the steel bar lengths and angles. In CA I just resized the symbol and pasted it on my plan.

hello

hello...

hello, anyone to come up, please?

     Here is what I am up to.

yes, its a symbol though I actually want this symbol's 2d drawing to build it in reality as one of my plans is in process of construction. I want to measure the sizes and angles of steel bars which could form a shuttering source for concrete.

Hi,

I want to make a 2d drawing of this shed. if someone could guide with a video demonstration. Please help

Tried to convert to simple Molding Polyline in a new plan but failed to achieve the exact cylindrical shape!

Aamir use the same procedure with a Molding Line rather than a Molding Polyline and you should be fine.

How to do? what is Molding line?

cant be converted to Molding Polyline!

Probably better to use Molding Polyline with a circle Molding applied (there are some round handrails that would work).

I tried but failed. Please guide stepwise.

Folks!
Want to make sewage path. Made the PVC lines with polyline solid cylinder tool but unable to make a cylinder 90* bend. Please HELP

Good day, all of you.

Need your kind attention to finalize a front elevation of a house. The plan is attached Aamir77_gutted_MHD_Rev1.zip to the post. Please confer me a little segment of your precious time. I have been up to 3 types of front elevation which are also attached herewith as pictures. Thanks in advance.
