Hi, I've got three Quest headsets and to me they are just amazing. Why does CA require connecting the Quest to a computer running CA? Does the Quest lack the horsepower to display a CA design on it's own? Thanks much. Frederick

Hi, Thanks for the reply. The custom ones have been created in X17. They work in X17 but are not being saved for some reason. And X17 is not displaying any error message indicating there was an error when saving. Frederick

Hi, Thanks for the reply. See attached. The normal configuration files are there but none of my custom ones are showing up. They appear when using CA, they are just not being saved. Frederick

I haven't found a way to do that. I don't see it among the various export commands. I see the toolbar import command but there is no export there. Thanks. Frederick

I read in the reference manual that they should be there but I am not seeing my custom ones. I do see all of the standard ones. I will do some more tests. Thanks. Frederick

Hi. I copied the default tool bar and made some changes and made it active. Anytime I start CA it is using my tool bar. Supposedly my toolbar is saved somewhere but I cannot find it. Where is it? Thanks. Frederick

Thanks very much for the reply. Knowing that new elevations/cross sections inherit from the active plan view is the part I was missing. Frederick

That was a clever approach. I like it. Thanks for the idea. Frederick

Yes I found that capability. My case involved a number of plan and elevation views, in the plan file, which had many different scales - and that was due to a mistake on my part. I was hoping there was an easy way to reset them all to the setting I desired - other than doing one at a time - which I ended up doing. Thanks for the replay. Frederick

Hi, The title is my question: I am trying to learn how to use the layout features in X17. While doing so I was getting unexpected results when sending a plan or elevation view to the layout. It turned out that the Drawing Sheet Scale was NOT the same for all views. So I set about to make them all the same desired value but I could not find a way to do them at once. I had to select File/Print/Drawing Sheet Setup for each plan/view. It seems that there should be a way to set them all in one operation. Yes? No? Thanks. Frederick

Thanks much. That is close to what I was trying to create. I was thinking I only needed to use elevation lines but clearly it requires more than that. I need to spend more time working with the terrain elements. Thanks again. Frederick

Hi, Here is the exported plan file. Your help is much appreciated. Frederick Round Hill Garage Plan.zip

Hi Thanks for the offer. I'm on CA X17. Do you need the plan file or the project file? Frederick

Thanks for the reply. I have tried that but multiple lines interact in ways that I find very hard to predict. However if such lines should do they job I will keep trying. Frederick

Thanks for the reply. I could do that but it doesn't solve the problem of needing a "swale" behind the back, so the land slopes down then back up as it reaches the back wall. Frederick
