Thank You!!!

I really like that framing over lay with the shoe adjustment!

Can this video be downloaded? It keeps buffering and its very frustrating to sit and wait for it.

I think I will be patient and wait. Im sure they will send me an email before it exspires. Thank You

My SSA expires Jun 5, 2022. I tried to renew it but it doesnt give me the option. Is it to early?

Thank you for the great video! Im sure it will come in handy for future pools. I ended up doing it the hard way with individual bricks for a more realalistic look. I was having trouble getting the right brick size and the aspect ratio to stay the same with other tools, such as the molding polyline and countertop tool. Im not designing a pool, this one is existing, we are just changing out the coping and surrounding pool deck. Thank You

Im trying to create this brick coping around a pool. Couldnt find any instruction of how to do it. Everything at this point is just built out of concrete slabs and I cant seem to get any control over the size of the brick and the direction of the brick. Would appriciate any direction someone can give to help. Thank you!

For job building data that I submit to the city. I use poly lines. Much easier to see exactly what is being calculated and its automatic calculations with using macros.

To me it seems silly to include the stair area for both floors but I dont make the rules.

Thank you for that Charles!

Thanks for clearing that up. Was wondering if I miss read it

I agree with Joe Carrick and I add this: I always check to see if Im close on the square footage after I do the as-built just to see if I may have someing wrong but most of the time is pretty close. I also always jut put in what is recorded becasue I dont want to open a can of worms and try to fix it becasue its a waste of time. On the new area I calculate to exterior of the framing as per required by the cities that I work in. Note: Unlike Joe I dont measure to the exterior finish, I measure to the exterior rough framing for square footage. It's funny how this doesnt seem to be a standard accross the board with all cities and architects.

You may want to make sure you have the latest update for March for your X13 just in case. It cleared up a couple of issues I have having with the sections not showing things properly like the slab and flooring for example.

Thank you

I would like to build an abbreviations list using a text box. I couldn’t find anything that I could use to sort the list alphabetically as I build it. Do I have to use a macro or is there another way to do this? Help is appreciated

I would suggest just to create the 3D view of the Califonia tie-in once and use it as a reference detail instead of recreating it on every job. The important thing is that you have the detail to show what its supposed to look like to the framer so he knonws how to build it. Thats what all details are used for and why they are called details. Sections and elevations just gives you a conceptual over all view of the whole picture. Its not meant to be as a detail for building. Work arounds are usually more of a wasit of time then they are a help unless you have a specific use for what you are doing. Also, you want to make sure you are getting paid for all that time you put into it if the cient is demading a certain view. My opinion for what its worth

The main thing to do is to stop as much splash and water pooling as you can.

If I use the snipping tool to paste an image on my layout plan, how can I save it to my library? Any help would be appreciated

I placed it on the wall, adjusted the height and then I drug it out to the face of the soffit.

I'm feeling pretty greatful this morning! This is one of the most helpful threads that I have exsperienced! I keep going back to all of it and Larry's video. Thank You Guys!

I was looking for that and couldn't find it. When I was looking through the menu I was looking for the link symbol or the word "Link". Didnt think plan reference would be it but I guess it makes sense. Thank you Perry!

Yep Seems easy to us but maybe its not so easy programing it. Giving them the benefit of the doubt

Leads me to another question: So if you open a plan template and a layout template and you save them, how do you link the two together or is it automatic? Becasue when you open a layout template, it is reading from the last plan that you saved if from.

I was just showing that picture as an example of what I would exspect on the ceiling framing also. Maybe not call it a rim but maybe drywall backing or ledger or something like that.
