  1. By the sq foot, two free revisions on the prelims and then final payment after the plans are completed with electrical and structure. Any feedback from family members, interior designers or builders after the client signs off for approval on the finals goes to my $125 per hour rate. You gotta stay in control or things could pan out a year before you finish with them. Been there done that and learned many lessons.
  2. Good deal, I did just sign back on to say a curved half wall changed to invisible works good. It cuts into the molding but gets the point across.
  3. To do a radiused shower like shown below but do away with the shower curb and have it zero entry where the slab drops like an 1". We have the curved wall tool but not a curved room divider.
  4. Ahh, you are very correct, I forgot about importing drawing. Thanks!
  5. Hey guys, I have a builder who uses CA as a novice and does not have AutoCad to open the floor plan I exported and sent to them. They are requesting the floor plan only and not the whole 3D model of the home, which I am ok with because they want to play around with it and see if it is possible to cut down on some of the sq footage to meet my client's budget. Is there a way to even do that other than sending the plan file? Everything in CA is 3D so I do not see how this is possible.
  6. Me too, even at my own house. They run a P.T. 6x6 flush from the front of the porch beam down to the slab. That is fine if you do not have a base at the bottom. I am on a mono slab though. It looks like they rectified the overhang with brick rowlock. (below)
  7. Thanks guys, I agree it should be flush. Maybe add a note on the FDN plan saying why there is a difference in dimensions.
  8. Hey guys, just looking for opinions on what you do when you encounter this. When column bases overhang the stem wall that is aligned with the porch beam above do you slide it outward to catch the base? This will mess with the overall foundation dimensions and won't match the floor plan dimensions. Does this cause confusion on site? Sample below...

    Scaling

    I remember almost 30 years ago now paper space in Autocad as an assignment in college. I could not for the life of me grasp it haha.
  10. That was it guys, thanks. I’m a little rusty on a few thing a with X15
  11. Hey guys, X15 OOB library makes me filter thru what I type in. Is there a setting to have it like X13 and below. For instance when I type in "dishwasher" on my electrical layout the receptacle symbol used to pop right up and I didn't have to filter down the ladder to find it. This goes for everything I search. what opens what I have to manually filter to
  12. Thanks guys, I redrew my lines and it accepted my 3d holes.
  13. Hey guys, I am getting used to X15 after upgrading from X13. I am having a hard time getting these to subtract from my manual front porch truss pline solid. In X13 you could make it "hold in solid". X15 i am trying the " 3d solid hole" and cannot get it to work after a half hour of trying. How do you guys do it?
  14. Yep they are they are the boss and pay the invoice and I work with plenty of engineers I can call at any given second for their opinion. If they frown on it I tell the owner and we rectify it.
  15. Reason? I had them in porch but the owner wants them placed there for furniture reasons.
  16. Is there an override to getting both shutters to show, besides adding a manual one, when the window is centered on half the porch and half the exterior?
  17. SImpson door 7506 works. It was hiding from me all this time in the library.
  18. Can we somehow manipulate door lite count? Trying to get one vertical. Or do we have a manufacturer in the 3d library that has these? Thanks guys!
  19. HAHA, I have been thinking the same thing for years and just modify everything to suit.
  20. I feel your pain on this sometimes. Oddly enough alot of times I just reboot the PC and it works good again. I shouldn't be having this with my setup either.
  21. I believe ya man, I know you speak truth but I was hearing about a lot of bugs earlier on so I wanted to wait.
  22. Oh ok. I have been noticing lately that two years into my 3080 card it is starting to sound like a jet taking off when I do physically based so I was wondering how to take some of the stress off it.
  23. What does "cap live samples" do when checked?
  24. HA, I have become quite comfortable with X13 and have everything set just like I want it. Waiting until the last of December and ordering a new dell Alienware and upgrading then then.
