I am sure this qualifies as a dumb question but I jumped from X10 to X12 and there are a few basic items that are new and I am getting up to speed on. Can someone tell me what the E and S are referencing in the wall preview pane?

Much appreciated Dermot

Thanks to all- Very helpful

Thanks Eric- As usual that was the first thing I tried- did not turn anything up that directly addressed SPV templates. Would appreciate a link to a thread that covers it if you know of one.

Probably a bit of an old topic but one question I have regarding Saved Plan Views is any sort of a SPV template- and not the one that is OOTB from CA X12. Do most of you create a series of base SPV's that are your go to for the majority of your designs and save them with your plan templates? And if so, is there a way to copy or export those to use in an existing plan- or will plans brought forward from pervious version need to have SPV's created for each. Much appreciated

Late to the party as usual but after seeing Joey's comment on moving over to SPV's I am guessing that I will need to as well.

Guessing this is feature in X12? I was working in X10 but will move this project tom X12 if that is the case.

Western Window systems has a multi-slide pocket door system I have used before an I was wondering if anyone has a SKP symbol or similar they would share. Much appreciated REAR POCKET DOOR INFO -1.pdf

Will post in Symbols also but thought I would take a run at it here. Western Window systems has a multi-slide pocket door system I have used before an I was wondering if anyone has a SKP symbol or similar they would share. much appreciated REAR POCKET DOOR INFO -1.pdf

Got it- much appreciated

I tried looking up a previous thread for a 2 hr fire separation detail but was wondering if anyone has a simple one in CAD form they might share. Thanks in advance.

just stumbled on this- Very impressive- I love the overall style

Not sure either but no issues with X10 or X12 since removing all traces of Nahimic.

Follow up- I did upgrade to X12 but after talking with tech support it appears that they have had several reports of Nvidia dual monitor systems conflcuitinh with dell Alienware. from CA Tech- " We have had several calls now from people running Alienware computers with two monitors and NVidia cards. They have all been fixed by uninstalling the Alienware Command Center software. The other software that has been mentioned is the Alienware Sound Center application. You may want to look for and uninstall both of these applications. Make sure all traces of Nahimic have been removed. The service should not be running on your computer." X10 and X12 both working properly now, thanks to all who offered help.

Looks like I am going to uninstall X10 and reinstall- Have not done that before - any tips so I don't lose libraries- details etc... I am also eligible to upgrade to X12 which I suppose this is as good a time as any?

Talked to tech support and no real help. They did mention a program called Nahimic that can cause issues. Nahimic is in the computer but i can't see how to uninstall it. Anyone have any experience with this?

thanks Dermot- I called tech support today and we discussed exactly what you are referring to - After I got off the phone I downloaded the 05-15-2020 driver update for my Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 card. Rebooted the system to be sure that CA was using it and still locks up when trying to open an object for spec of creating a render view. I literally just tried to create a render view on a completely blank plan and got the blue spinning wheel of death. Of course I am stupid busy right now and have no time for this

so just tried placing a symbol for a cooktop on a blank plan - then went create 3d camera view and locked up again-

thanks Mick- i had another CA user i have been collaborating with and opened some plan files he sent me recent;y - may have something to do with that?

Just had an irritating new issue- every time I select an item- cabinet- fixture- etc.... and try to open for specification, Ca locks up and I get the blue spinning circle of death. Doesn't matter if it is a new or existing plan. Anyone lese ever run into this? much appreciated

Also think about the extra excavation needed to set up footing and wall forms - concrete contractor will need room on both sides to work. Trench footing eliminates that.

Comes down to labor really- if your excavator cuts the trench clean and you can run 1 form on the permimiter it sets up pretty quick. Also you need to decide of you need the stemwall standing tall off the slab on the interior or if the framed wall can sit right on the slab.

Also you may want to verify if L hooks will required from footing into slab

Must be talking about 4" mono slab and 24" thickened perimiter footing. No reason to pour entire slab at 24" deep.
