Latest request.........builders love the door and window schedules for ordering purposes but framers hate flipping pages or even looking to the right and searching the schedule for door numbers then sizes when they are rolling with the framing. Is there a way to add the door and window schedules but instead of a D10 or a W20 (examples) can the numbers be the door sizes (label) on the floorplan?

Thanks for the input guys. Never a dull moment with these homes.

I like that small gable curve.

Agree, I will talk to the builder and see what he thinks. Canted roof eaves is one thing but curved seems a little nutty.

haha....should I upload another profile pic? oooooo yeahhhhhh!

curved roof check box. How have I never seen that lol?

It almost looks as if it's the gutter shape that makes the curved illusion.

So I was sent this as an example someone wants to do on their home. How would you guys tackle the curvature?

Yeah, all of this info is WAY above my pay grade lol. That's some Good Will Hunting type shiznit.

That was it!

This has been discussed here before but I lost my sq foot calc that comes in below the floorplan. I did a plan check and it is not coming back in. Room label layer is turned on as well. I have ran a plan check in the past on other jobs and it worked then but not this time. Any suggestions?

i have had a few suggestions for other companies on here I am going to look into. They aren't as close but I need better prints.

that's a real good price!

$12 bucks a sheet here for color. I do it all B/W but their ink settings suck. A black and white rendering can be nice too. Staples proved that when I used them a few years back but they are $3 a sheet for B/W. I average 18 sheets for houseplans for normal sized homes.

Guys, I like to utilize fill style a lot on my plans. When I print to pdf is looks really good (shown below.) My print shop will get these ready and they are all blacked out. My walls and shelves have no transparency etc. Shouldn't their printer print the shades per my pdf document? I really want to get my own 24X36 plotter. On all of my plans I do, I like to add a colored rendering of an isometric view of the home on sheet one title page. Those look like crap too from their printer but perfect on the pdf.

I started a thread on this a couple weeks ago. Search AMD driver issues.

man that is awesome looking.

yeah, I found a decent molding type under the manufacturer catalog. Do we have to manually draw the profiles otherwise and add to the library?

Are these called window lintels in the window dbx?

Any harm in deleting these old video card files but keeping the most recent? They are taking up valuable space in the gigs and AMD releases new driver updates all the time.

done rene!

All good now guys, I deleted the foundation completely and rebuilt and it magically worked.

Sure are Rene, I am going to check and see if a layer is turned off and if I can upload the complete plan. I have reworked this house so many times starting in X11, around april, that there is no telling. We finally got it to the owner's liking after them reinventing the wheel but that is their right and what they pay me for. Time tracker says I only have 40 hours on it but it seems like 40 years.

yep, I tried that the other day and it was making stem walls for the carport and patio area. If I check the mono slab setting when I rebuild the foundation, then the whole home goes to mono slab. Kind of aggravating and exactly why i just manually draw in what i need.

It has been a little while but I remember the path to the setting to turn off was given by AMD when the upgrade failed. Rerun the upgrade and if you get the error again it will tell you.
