I don't understand why the automatic settings with CA puts a living area label  with sq. ft. "0" for a detached garage when it doesn't have living space?

You got a point...got you in the right direction though.  Glad you got it figured out.

You saved me a lot of time!

I went thru preferences earlier and I don't know why I didn't think of reset. I'm trying to develop a process of trouble shooting when I have theses issues. I guess that will come in time. I'm getting better thanks to the guys in this forum. Despite the teasing

I would say it is docked somewhere off the screen.  Happened to me once.  If you go into Preferences and "reset dialog sizes" it should bring it back.

When I opened the preferences to rest and I pick the one that said reset side windows instead. Seem to make more sense and it worked. I'm always afraid of resets because I don't want to screw up my custom tool bars. Still not sure if your suggestion of resting the size of dialog would have done it also?

Thank You

Toolbar > View > Active Layer Display Options

I tried this before hand and it didn't do it.

OK, OK! I forgot to attached the picture. I would loose m head if it wasn't attached.

The boxes are checked but my layer set is missing. Can anyone tell me the mystery of the missing layer set? I'm stumped

Perry,

I really appreciate your loyalty to CA. You set a good example.

Thank You

I think someone should try it and tell Chief, see what happens. Jail time could be fun.

Scratch that last comment I maid about you Perry. HaHa!

I really think it does..  'You may not distribute'... Straight forward and simple....

Your right, that's pretty clear.

David , are you sure Chief would want you to do that.

Perry,

I really appreciate your loyalty to CA. You set a good example.

Thank You

Greg, Thanks for the nice detail. I'm going to use it

I'm doing some lighting that is recessed into the ceiling and the opening is 6' octagon shape with radius bead. I know how to make it work to look right in 3D but it would be easier to just check a box that say's "Radius Corners" or "Square Corners". How nice would that be!

Thanks Guys. I guess I knew what the answer would be.

Can the program be setup to do radius corners (drywall radius corner bead)?

The biggest thing that gives me the most Greif with CA is foundations. Hopefully in version 8 they will make some improvements. I know everyone has a long list. 

Is there anything in the license agreement stating that we cant share libraries? He paid for his version so he should be able to get the manufactures libraries for at least that version. 

Only a thought and question. Not trying to step on toes

I like that intersection tool. That is a great addition to the program.

Got it! But I had to use the wall break tool and intersection tool to get it to work.

I changed all them but the one in the front will not corporate

It shows in my picture that I posted that the foundation in the raised area seems to be part of the foundation all the way across the front.

You can see where I selected it in the picture

Yes, that was my question a couple of post ago. How do I make that happen?

You also need to select the raised footings and deepen them to match the un-raised footings.

Not sure what you mean. Are you talking about the 6" curb I have going around the garage?

Joey, I fixed it somewhat by selecting the wall shown, flipping it and realigning with the wall above. BTW, I flipped the wall so my snaps would work okay.

 

Joey Foundation

Thank you Tommy,

See you tonight in our meeting

Another question;

Is there a quick way to make the entry way foundation depth match the rest of the footings? I always struggle with the altering slab foundations.

Thank you guy's

I meant for the closet to be 6" higher like the entry and that fixed everything. That was all it took.

Stupid me!     :unsure:    

I modified the original post for plan. I was having problems uploading the plan because of the file size. Used drop box and should work now.

Don't understand why I'm having problems with this foundation. Picture and plan attached.
