Thats pretty good rlackore!

Not a sketch but here is an example i was thinking....font and name doesnt really matter to me at this point. While im caught up with my clients i like to practice new stuff in my downtime.

nice, will do

let's just say it was very generic looking and not using CA to it's fullest potential. i tried to get in an elevation of the sign and apply lettering with rich text and that doesnt work. im going to google some images from CA and see.\

Any good tips or vids on how to make a nice sign with uplights for an office? i used polyline solids but don't like it and can't get the lettering to work and show on the sign. thanks

WORKED GREAT!! HUGE HELP

good info, thanks guys...lemme try that

hey guys, this happens from time to time. i complete the exterior of the home, find a wall dimension that's off, delete the deck/porch, then i adjust the walls accordingly. when i go back to redraw my railing for my deck/porch it doesn't bring in the deck framing or boards. see attached files. thanks! in cad drawings i know there is a reload command that updates any movements to suit the rest of the drawing. does chief have this because it appears it trys to remember what was there before. before i even have a chance to name it a porch, patio or whatnot, it goes back to what i had it named before. in this case it was existing front porch.

very informative video.....thanks

trying to figure out if this wall oven block from the library can be exploded and modified. i need to throw in a microwave, move the oven down and keep the top cabinets. thanks guys

Im learning when to say no and not take on these type projects. This may be one of them. Lol

Ive done several pole barns too. Lol im ready for a normal house on slab design again.

My newest client is wanting plans for a metal building home. Im not sure what the craze is about because i got another possible client wanting a two story metal building home. Im a little hesitant on how interior wood stud walls will tie into a building like this but to begin, what exterior wall type would you guys start with concerning the attachment. (Example shown) This job will be interesting. They hired a contractor who will provide their own plans JUST for the exterior four walls and the slab. I will come in and layout all the interior work. Im thinking theirs will consist of metal studs and such.

COOL THANKS!

i open up my layout file today and all the views are now black and white. even when i send new views in color from plan file to layout they are black and white. i have never messed with any settings like that. suggestions? thanks friends

gotcha, thanks!

that makes you draw everything manually correct? here is what i was trying to do since i already built the framing. elevations showing this. (perspective framing overview shown in attachment) i need elevations to dimension.

guys, i forgot how to cut a wall elevation that will show only the framing. if i manipulate layers in the section view layer set i will still need the defaulted layers showing windows and sheetrock in other views. hmmmmm

thanks! i will give it a try

arghhh, im still having problems. how did you get the reversed curve to them?

learn something new everyday! thanks guys

hey guys, i really do not want to have to manually draw these shutters. they aren't in the library. is there website you can direct me to and download them to my library? thanks

Draw a wall in the attic level? And yes, fill in the gap
