3.00 -4.00 per sq.ft. in Bend Or. -structural is an extra. New construction or addition remodel work- either way. ( I find that If I have to do and as-built it runs into as much time as creating a new structure from the ground up.) Agreed with Perry on the pretty pictures- that's an extra. I never supply color renderings with preliminary design- clients get too wrapped up in colors of counters or flooring and can't focus on the design elements that are needed to keep the project moving forward. Once we have a completed design I can provide full renderings with all the bells and whistles they want to pay for.

I recently upgraded to X8 from X6 and have been playing around with the transparency levels in the solid fill styles. I was trying that fill option on a driveway on a site plan from an existing project and upon printing to PDF found some strange lines showing through at the corner of the driveway radius. I have attached a copy of the printed file that shows the strange line pattern bleeding through- also a screen snip of the plan view that shows some faint dashed lines that coincide with some of the bleed through. Those are not anything I have on the actual plan or can select. Thanks in advance for any input. LOT 78 CD.pdf

Not an issued between plans really. Just occasionally and mostly with text.

Will try both options- thanks you

I am starting to get this message fairly frequently when trying to copy text- " copy failed - no recognizable data on the clipboard." any suggestions would be appreciated.

Set the end cap length to 0 and lines show much better- still not as consistent as I would like but better. I will discuss with the surveyor and see if they can send the lines with less segments in the future. Thanks much for the input- always appreciated.

Here are a few screen shots- 1 of layout and 2 of plan- 1 with the line selected. As you can see- the line has many segments and I am wondering if that could affect the way the line style is displaying. if that is the case is there a simple way to reduce the number of segments in the line? Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

I am working on a site plan that I have imported from the surveyor and having a hard time with proper display of the line styles for major and minor contours. I have all the contour lines set on their proper layers and when I try to use smell segmented dashed line for minor contours it displays very inconsistently and certainly not as a short segmented dashed line. This issue is the same in the cad detail in plan as well as on the layout page.

It works but is clumsy and takes a fair amount of work- especially on exterior deck stairs running down to grade. Would be nice if we could specify panel rail on stairs and landings as we do on flat rail.

Added interior casing and no more bleed through- an odd one indeed. Thanks for the tip - would have guessed that was the culprit.

Sounded like a reasonable work around but no luck- still coming through. Odd that it shows on the entry door and garage doors but not the cantina door

I am having trouble with some sort of material "bleeding through" my door jambs- please see attached rendering for the white material along the garage door and entry jambs.

As Joe said- there are a couple in the library. Joe- I am still using X6 and it will not allow for that rail style on stairs- has to be created manually. does X8 allow for that?

Very similar to Sherry- Once I have created the plan for a builder they can pay a re-issue fee of 500.00 and an hourly rate for revisions such as siding or roof changes- mirrored plans- site plan prep - etc...

Not sure what your total involvement in this project is but there looks to be several issues with the structure. The header at the dormer looks too small and so do the rafters. In general the rafters look to small for the spans I see and certainly to get proper insulation and ventilation. Hard to tell what else from the pics but I would guess there are other concerns- may be a good idea to get an engineer involved. As for drawing the framing in CA you may be able to auto generate a good portion of the members and then go back and manipulate the remainder manually.

I realize that this is not really a CA related question but I don't frequent any other chat rooms and I put quite a bit of weight in the opinions of the members of this forum. I am looking for an app to access files on my computer from my tablet or phone.( Samsung S5 and Samsung tablet.) When I had a Motorola phone previously they had an app called Motocast that I really liked. I could view my documents on my phone just as I saw them on my office computer- then copy them to the phone for viewing or forwarding. I don't want a remote desktop - more of a file access app. any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Thanks Shane- That's the ticket Much appreciated

I have to create an ADA ramp- sidewalk detail for a project. Was just wondering if anyone had a cad detail that they would be willing to share. thanks

That would be a great addition- breaking and dragging foundation walls up and down in elevation views get sold in a hurry.

Agreed with Joe on the transform- replicate tool

Count me in for that

All makes sense now- thanks for the time Joe

I get you now- I guess I just never really noticed it before. Totally agree that his is something that should be implemented in the next release. Sorry for the wild goose chase.

LOT 78 CD.layoutLOT 78 CD.plan I Have done all of the above- tried opening old plan files that were created in different templates. you name it. The files I have attached here are the plan and layout that I had created before I copied it. (I used the copied versions to try importing different layer and anno sets so I wouldn't screw up a set of in-progress working drawings.) Here's what I am getting - from layout open foundation plan, ok no worries- opens to new window with foundation on floor 0 and floor framing layer set active. move the screen to other monitor. - from layout open roof framing plan- opens to new window on floor 1 with roof plan layer set active. But now the foundation plan on floor 0 on the other monitor has changed to roof plan layer set also. And tech support is saying this is normal. I may be losing it

Joe- When you open a main level floor plan view in one window in say the "main floor plan" set, or whatever you call it and then open the upper floor plan view in the " upper floor plan" set- do the each maintain their appropriate layer sets? Or do the both switch to the same layer set ?
