Thanks Michael- I would be interested in that.

Perfect- Thank you very much

Unfortunately- an I know this is probably blasphemy around here- I don't use Sketchup.

Thanks Guys- If the individual washers turn out to be resizable as most other symbols are then the larger one would probably be fine. Just curious is there a way to group or multiple select view surfaces? Looking for faster way to accomplish what Graham suggested.

I downloaded a SKP file of some bridge washers I am needing but do not need all of them in one symbol. See attached Is there a way to separate them so I can place the one I need I my plan? Much thanks bridge+washer.skp

Gas ISO required for residential?

Must have been- I will post there.

I mentioned this earlier but thought I would throw it out again in hopes that it might catch on for X11. It would be very handy of we had the option to have temp dimensions locate dimension strings so they could be easily set and adjusted off of walls or similar. BTW- looked for suggestions forum but no longer I guess- hope this finds it's way to the powers that be.

No love eh???? Maybe direct to tech support on this one.

I have created a lateral and HD anno set that is linked to same layer set and associated layers. After I layout all of my HDs and associated text on the floor plan then i just go to all off layer- turn on text HD and callouts HD- select and copy- move down floof level- paste hold position- make a few adjutments and done. Repeat as needed for floor levels or views. FYI- this method works well for chasing point loads down from roof to foundation.

I recently upgraded to X10 and added a new SSD drive as well. Somewhere in the process I have lost auto spell check in my CA text. Now have to click spell check box prior to exiting text dialog. Is there a preference or setting for this? Much thanks

That's awesome Michael- Thank you

Did you check on 3d warehouse?

I have done some an HVAC contractor buddy - Attached is the plan file as well as the layout page I dropped the view on that includes my overlay of the mech layout. Plan file should have mech and gas anno sets as well. Disclaimer- He hand draws all of the layout and notations- I just transpose into CAD and pass it back. Hope it helps some.

Thanks a ton Glenn- Looks like it will do the trick Will jump on it tomorrow am

I am working on a plan for a steeply sloping lot that needs concrete entry stairs that will have a pored retaining wall that will also act as the "rail" so to speak. On the lower portions I have been able to make the rail style follow the stairs with the "follows stairs" DBX. No luck on the upper return to the main entry. Tried several options and adjusted heights but no luck. Any help is appreciated. WITHERSPOON_CD.plan

Business is good here - time to spend some $$$ on upgrading my tools. The upgrade to the 2 TB SSD drive (solid state I am assuming) is a pretty big hop= 600.00 what is the big advantage to that over the 1TB PCIe x4 SSD + 2TB 7200 RPM HDD. Been a 2 monitor user for years and very comfortable with it- probably stay that route.

I thought of trying to swap it out but the upgrade is only 150.00 and I doubt I can buy the unit with out a video card and still keep a warranty.

Thanks for all the input. Rpadge- what graphics card would you suggest

It's been about 6 years and the old girl is staying to wear down. Was looking at pairing the unit in the link below with a couple 29" 4k monitors. Whole package should run just under 2500.00 Any comments appreciated. http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-desktop-computers/xps-tower-special-edition/spd/xps-8930-se-desktop/ddcwvmax003h

Worked like a champ - thanks as always.

Yes I am- I opened the plan and can see the profile. What I need to know is how to take that line drawing and create the tail that will be applied to the actual rafter.

Way late to the party but am in need of converting the rafter tail profile that Eric poste in rafter tail demo plan to an actual tail I can add to my library. Any direction is appreciated.

Again- i think the code section you are referring to is discussing lateral stability along a given wall line. Not across the section of a building. The king post option to reduce the truss span is generally used to reduce reactions at the endpoints.

If you use the model method however I sugest creating an stripped down layerset that has only the required items. Makes model generation much faster. Search for previous post on this topic.
