  1. Lew, You are correct on the direct-x engine then open GL. I started with 3-D Home in 1992 with 1.5. Did floor plan and wall elev. in program then went to the board for roof. Wow that was a long time ago. Have a great week,Ken
  2. Joe, I believe this was done to illustrate a commercial store front. It was a while back. Have a great week,Ken
  3. I'm with Perry,no Norton. Have a great week,Ken
  4. Anytime you have to make an object it is a good idea to add it to your library. If you need it once you will probably need it again. Have a great week,Ken
  5. A pocket door with a wall intersecting it frame is a pita to frame but it can be done. Have had to do this more than once in homes I have framed.It is things like this that separate the craftsman from the average carpenter. As for showing it in chief it will have to be frame manually and I can't think it is worth the time it would take to do it. Have a great week,Ken
  6. Gene,Here when we do a daylight basement we step the footer back on the sides to a point that will get them below frost line, 30" in our county and pour a footer then 12" block to slab grade. Or in some cases just pour solid concrete from footer to grade and form for slab. In chief either pony wall or block foundation wall lowered to desired elevation for slab. Hope this is a little clearer than mud. Not as bad as it sounds. Have a great Memorial Day weekend and thanks to all veterans out there,Ken

  9. Canuck, I completely stay away from norton. I use malwarebytes and have no problems. Have a great weekend,Ken
  10. you need a program with a pdf printer, Chief has one or you can download one free of the internet. Set it up as if it were an actual printer and print to this printer and save to your desktop and then e-mail to your friend. Hope this is clear and helps. Have a great week,Ken
  11. Canuck, Just delete one of each file. Won't have any effect on the other one. I have had this happen Just takes a while to go through and delete the extra one. Have a great week,Ken
  12. Not seeing your attachments Ken
  13. Charlie , Good job. Could you make it into a symbol and post it? Have a great week,Ken
  14. Kevin, Glad I read this thread. Good tip this has been bugging me for a while. Have a great week,Ken
  15. Problem solved. Had to do the molding polyline thing. Just had to try to get the auto roof returns to work. It is my contention that when the program toughs a specific feature it should work as advertised. Kelly thanks for your reply. Have a great week,Ken
  16. I am ready to pull my hair out over these returns. Some will generate and some here and there. Have searched the training videos and seems there is not one on this subject. Does anyone know of one or have a guess as to why these will not generate.
  17. A joist can bear on a beam but a beam can't bear on a joist thus the name for the two different members.
  18. What version are you currently using?
  19. Mike; Bosch DLR165,it does all I need.Have had it for couple years, can't remember price. Have a great week,Ken
  20. About the zero level entry, I think code requires 8" distance from earth fill to framing so this will have to be addressed in some way. Have a great week, Ken
  21. Joe, Good job and thanks. Hope this gives your rep. a boost. Have a great week,Ken
