This curved awning looks cool but it is from the library and won't generate framing. Are they hard to build manually as roof planes?

Yeah, I was doing that but it is very time consuming one by one and there may be a lot of duplicates I don't know about, but If that is the only way then that's cool too. I was hoping the program could scan the library to find them.

Happy New Year guys and gals. I am going to be upgrading to X14 soon and want to clean up my library before I migrate it over. Is there any easy way to find all the duplicate items at once and delete? I somehow have every sherwinn williams paint color duplicated as well as other items I obviously downloaded twice from the CA 3d library and forgot I already had them. Thanks

Frieze boards.......now I like that!

Thanks for the replies.....I will try all. This request has been asked for the first time by a builder and I am willing to bet a brick mason already knows that the top row is always a solider course and doesn't necessarily need to see the elevations reflecting it in order to do his job.

Ugh, I hate when we have to manually add stuff stuff like this. Thanks though.

How do you guys go about creating a brick solider course at the top of exterior walls?

Takes me back over 20 years ago when I was a college boy working at a lumber yard learning about door and window sizes & other building materials. Not knowing one day I would be designing homes for a living and being familiar with things like this.

I have a fellow local residential designer who swears by SoftPlan but are the renderings as cool as CA?

I couldn't even get past the floor level settings on the properties box. CA flows easier.....

I tried Revit and do not like it.......CA is much faster for me and I do not have the time to learn a new software. I wanted to give it a try though.

Nice work!

Very nice elevations.

This! Every last single word I agree with.

Is there a particular Lidar app I should be looking for that will develop floorplans from the scans? Just got the new IPAD Pro and ready to try new things for my renovations.

Believe it or not that second story jut out with the shed roof is like 7' away from the first floor front exterior wall if I understand you correctly. It's an illusion.

I dropped the porch 3 1/2" and rebuilt the foundation and it worked.......who knows......I don't have time to figure out why this time.

I agree with you, it is faster though when trying multiple color samples.

Anyone ever had a surface that will not paint even after deleting the walls and drawing new ones as well as closing the drawing and reopening it?

I just finished another one and the geo tech report stated 25' depth with 9" round pilings.....that is one long piece of timber.

You are close to me Michael.....everyone is wanting me to do these beach homes on the gulf coast in AL & FL.

Went with this method which I don't know why I didn't visualize it in the first place. Alternatively why have a dropped beam for the Deck area, you have enough room in the floor structure there to have a hidden beam there that the joists can hang from

Learned something new!

Got a duplex guys, both apartments are the same, just mirrored. I noticed we cannot copy the walls and paste in place in one apartment and mirror on the center wall to the other apartment. How do you guys accomplish this?

Nice, thanks!
