Thanks Ted. Much appreciated

Might be easier to trace in current view and then edit area to reverse.

Great looking pool. Any chance you could post here as a symbol for others to use.

Agreed wit Robert- took me a while to catch on to this as well

In my experience using thecdwg as a base to trace over is the best way. Cad to walls has long been a hit and miss proposition

I am not all that versed in sketchup but I can't imagine that CA can't produce at least the quality that you would get from a skp model.

You bet Glad to give a little back now and then.

Michael- This looks very promising- In the images you attached how do you get the one footprint to show the solid fill with the no wall and the other to display as normal.

Here is a quick one I made a ways back face mount door.calibz

The timber truss out of P-lines is how I have dine in the past. See attached symbols for examples 10-12TT.calibz CURVED TT 10-12.calibz

Love to see the detail if you want to post it

Michael- are you meaning create 2 plan foot prints in the same cad detail and overlay them?

IMO I think the simplest way to get what most building departments are looking for is the plan footprint method. the footprint updates well enough to keep it live during revisions and the cad work for the site plan components is easily accomplished with lines and polylines.( fill added needed.)

I believe Scott is referring to using the live plan view that he is creating the actual model in. Meaning the view he is drawing the walls,floors,roofs in Them he adds the terrain and that becomes the basis for his site plan. The other method is the cad detail we have discussed with the plan footprint. Either way layer sets can be used to display the desired information. Try YouTube for additional videos

Are you drawing an actual building plan and Then creating a site plan off of it? Would recommend having a live plan as Chop mentions and then using cad detail as the site plan. Plan footprint is then located at the desired location on the site and details and notes added.

Use plan footprint tool to create the building outline in your cad detail. Then add cad as required for other components.

Interesting idea, How does it work in practical application. Meaning how do you set the metal roofing and flashing so that it lays under the comp above? Step down the framing 1 1/2" or so?

Pretty smooth Perry

Roof planes are slightly off at the table end. Again... signature please if you want to be taken seriously here.

High end Nvidia cards work well for many. Should add a signature like most serious users if you want good replies and to develop a solid rep.

+1

If all you have is the railing it should be very simple to take an elevation view of it and add dimensions and notes as needed. This assumes that you have the railing designed as you want in the first place. Regarding the signature...it not only helps all of us understand the version and equipment you are using but also demonstrates a level of commitment on your end

Maybe 3d warehouse? Polyline solids converted to symbols seems like a good move. Most powder river panels and chutes are pretty simple

And filling out your signature is always helpful

Pretty vague....could be many things, I had a similar issue with project browser, Michael suggested preferences ~reset side window defaults. Boom . Done.
