So can you tell me how to make the hole? I looked and couldn't find any instruction on that. More importantly if you can tell where to find the instructions I can read it myself.

Un-finished but here is my work if you can use it. Bring it in to your library to use it Heart Frame.calibz Glass Heart.calibz

I tried as a challenge and this is as far as I could get so far. Not sure where to go from here though. Need to somehow get it in the wall and put glass and grids in it.

good call! Didnt see that

I'll elaborate; If you draw the cad line on the elevation view to your shape you can select your convert poly line tool and convert it to a material region and then set your depth and material and it will locate on the wall right where you need it. Very handy tool!

You can also use the material region.

I use the perspective floor over view a lot to check my work. You can usually see easily where problems may be. Here is an example where it shows your walls heights not lining up (sometimes that may be intentional) and you can also see where the roof eave cuts into a wall. This is very usefull to me to check my work. You should make sure all the room heights and settings are right before you start to build your room. Same with foundation, check before you build it.

I use Keepvid Pro

There are "cad blocks" and "architectural blocks", Roofs and walls don't fall under either of them. Also when you want to group a cad item with an architectural item the block wont work either. Its one or the other. Mr. Chop is right. For what your doing you would have to save as a plan file. Not sure of any other ways to do it.

Not sure if I'm helping. Was just up for the challenge. Its not that its real complicated, you just need to draw the entire house correctly and the roof is pretty easy if you get all the rooms right.

Here is a start, Complicated roof though!

Thank you! I had never used the short cut tool before. I would open and make the selection in the dialog box but it is no longer there. I think I get mixed up at version changes because there will be times I don't use the program for several months. Thanks for the quick answer!

I think I might be loosing my mind! I thought that we had a "Bring To Front" selection when we are drawing cad lines? When I draw a line over a cad box it doesn't show the line over the box. It starts and stops each side of it. I thought we can bring the line to the front but I don't see that selection anymore? Help Please!

I'm paid up and ready for the upgrade!!! Another Christmas present to unwrap!!!

Tough Crowd!

I just remembered Up until about a year ago I would use a big screen TV to run 3D for my customers to see and I never had the issue at that time. Also I just noticed that I can drag the 3D from my laptop screen to the external monitor and it works that way. It appears to only act up when I try to open 3D on the external monitor.

Just downloaded X7 and Im having the same problem again. I think I will download the older version on to my older computer because it has been cleaned and formatted and see if I still have the issue. The older versions downloaded really fast on this computer so I dont know that x10 isn't somehow affecting this computer still.

OK, so I just tried X9 and im having the same problem. Now really confused. I dont remember having this problem before x10

Downloading it now.

I don't see X9 in my digital locker. Do you think chief would put it in there for me to download and try it out? You got me curios now to try that.

Do you have a suggestion of a good video or other instruction some where for corbel or post supports? And would that be the same as knee braces? I haven't had to do that yet so I haven't even looked but I want to learn. I know that I can look it up but you may save me a little time if you can point me in the right direction from your experience. Thank You!

No I dont have X9 anymore but that is good advise

When you open the room specifications box for a single room you can adjust the room height for that room alone under the structures tab but you will need to rebuild or adjust your roof if it was already built.

Here is my video card status with Chief Don't forget that I am only having this issue when I send to or try to open on the external monitor. It works fine on the laptop

I have had this problem with x10 on my Lenovo and my Dell also after i installed x10. Both of those systems had the intel card and the nvidia in them. And again both lap tops.
