  1. I drew the original shape in plan view but as it would be constructed from the top at a width of 1 1/2" or whatever the depth of the truss chords are-

    Then I took an elevation view of that 3d solid a brought in a CAD detail of the truss shape you were after and used it to modify from that perspective.

  2.  

    Probably a basic function but I have run a few searches and not seeing anything that addressed my particular need here.

    I am working with 3d solids to create a metal base shoe for a beam stair stringer.

     

    As I insert holes into the solid, I find myself needing to adjust their size- location - etc.....

    I can select the 3d solid of course, but can't select the hole itself?

     

    any suggestions are appreciated.

  3. My apologies if I didn't understand the OP request -

    I have designed bult several small commercial projects that have utilized canvas wall systems to enclose cover patio seating.

     

    And as for my knowledge of construction being "shallow"..........

    After 30+ years in the industry I know enough to realize that I will never know it all - and a can learn something new every day if I am willing to keep my eyes and mid open. ;)

  4. Late to the party in regards to X15 upgrade but here I am.

    Jumped from X13 -X15 so if this was something that was a change in X14 forgive me.

     

    One thing I am noticing is a difference in some sizing and movement as I scroll in and out.

    For instance, as I move walls

    I need to scroll -zoom in fairly close to make smaller jumps - if I am zoomed out very far at all the jump is larger than I prefer.

     

    see attached video.

     

     

  5. Thanks all-

    At this point I think the issue with the drawing I am trying to work with is that is in Raster format.

    Is there a way to convert Raster to Vector so it then could be converted to DWG or some other format that can be edited in CA?

     

     

     

  6. Good day- and long time no post-:)

    I am trying to create a simple drawing set for a small exterior roof addition to an existing home.

    Based on the ARC requirements, a plan view and a couple elevations are really all I need.

     

    The owner provided the basic PDF files of the elevations pages, and I have been able to create the 2 views I need- side and straight on.

    The issue is when I send to Layout, the PDF background is showing through the new components - which is not the case in the elevation view in the plan file.

     

    Any comments are appreciated.

     

    Here is plan file view-

    and here is the way it appears in Layout

  7. I have been banging away on trying to come up with a new kitchen design for a remodel project and this one has me over a barrel.

    In the attached screenshot I have clouded the area I have to work with - all existing walls that need to go have been removed and I have left the bearing walls and point loads that need to stay.

     

    I want to get a kitchen with a pantry that will be open to the dining area and capture the views.

    I also need a powder bath and / or bath 2 for bed 2- can be one or 2 rooms depending.

     

    If anyone is interested at taking a swing at it, I am not hoping for a full design by any means- just a general layout idea that may kick me in a different direction than where I keep stonewalling at.

    (I have pics of existing I can share but don't want to create any undue influence - I think that is a major issue I am having.)
