  1. 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.
  3. That was it guys, thanks. I’m a little rusty on a few thing a with X15
  4. 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
  5. Thanks guys, I redrew my lines and it accepted my 3d holes.
  6. 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?
  7. 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.
  8. Reason? I had them in porch but the owner wants them placed there for furniture reasons.
  9. 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?
  10. SImpson door 7506 works. It was hiding from me all this time in the library.
  11. 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!
  12. HAHA, I have been thinking the same thing for years and just modify everything to suit.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. What does "cap live samples" do when checked?
  17. 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.
  18. When does Chief plan to release X16? Isn't the beta version usually released this time of the year? Nothing more than curiousity as I plan to finally upgrade from X13 in January.
  19. Do you know why the layout files changes the brick lines? layout plan file
  20. I figured it out, uncheck stretch to fit and give the XY texture scale 40 and 40.
  21. I tried course but it widens/narrows with the window size and not uniform. The brick I used is called Tan Terra and does not have a course size. Example shown, surely the adjust material def manipulates this correct?
  22. Hey guys, is there a way to make the soldier course uniform instead of having the staggered pattern? I used the "adjust material def" but no luck. I made a pline solid and use it as a lintel then paint it with the brick type/color. I am sure whatever suggestion you have should work for the brick sill too.
  23. It actually was unchecked.....what does that do when checking it?
