  1. Hmm. Well I didn't think I'd have to upgrade my video card with it being a pretty new mac - kinda impossible since they are soldered in.
  2. OK here is the plans. thanks for checking Briarmoon_plans.plan.zip
  3. I've recently subscribed to 15 so I could open a file and work on it. This v15 is not showing full camera correctly. I've checked my video card - my mac is relatively new with two video cards and everything up to date, (its using the AMD for CA) AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB How can I get this to view properly. I've gone through and checked default settings and everything but nothing works.
  4. Good idea on using the trial. I'll do that to get what I need and try to anticipate what I might need over the next year, the OP suggesting paying for a month is a good idea also. Thanks! Frustrating I cant just own it but it is what it is.
  5. I am an individual who bought v10 then upgraded to v12 when I was designing my house. I ended up having to hire someone for the "design" because the county required it. So I sent my design to someone and she did what she had to do and sent it off to the engineer, etc. Problem is she used v15. I need to get in there to get some specific measurements and framing and things that were not included in our final plans. In order for me to open it I have to subscribe to v15 and shell out another 1k to check what I need. But am I reading this right that I'll only be able to open these for a year unless I keep paying for it very year??? I had paid over 3k for the original program and I understand upgrading if you want all the new and "live" features, but a monthly subscription when I'm not an architect seems excessive. Is there no way to permanently upgrade the one v12 so I don't have to keep going back and upgrading or continue to subscribe to open my plan I already made?? I understand not having the upgrade perks and new ssa and things like that, but that isn't necessary for me since this isn't my career.
  6. I've created a plan for 55'x60' building - basic a-frame (was supposed to be a metal building - but thats a long story) - so hopefully quick to build (we will be living in our camping trailer until then). We are ready to get it submitted for a building permit but while I love architecture, I've not been licensed and the county requires a licensed professional engineer or architect to check calculations and sign and stamp it. Is there anyone in this forum who is a licensed architect that I can pay to work with me on finishing this up. Maybe take a look and see? I'm not sure how best to go about this but I think finding someone that knows this program will be able to edit or get the calculations needed the fastest. We have all our civil engineering and geotech plans and the first floor is garage and workshop with just 1 powder room so the plan is just for a slab. I'm in Snohomish county, Washington, if that matters. Thank you for your help
