  1. I have been asked to draw up 100 simple cabin designs for a client's web page. (10 different designs/ 10 Different sizes) Basically, he wants to state his specifications, shows a general rendering, and price each model and size allowing for the add-on of various things such as decks, wood stove installation, dormers, shed vs gable... and so on. I was wondering if the Plan Database under tools is where I would start or go to compile and organize (i am thinking 5 cabin styles and 5 different sizes), and then expand once I have the details covered. He only wanted one rendering per plan... so I was going to take the largest of each model and complete the design for the rendering. however, I am struggling with doing "just the footprint",  that's what the web page needs. Is there a better way to do this?

    My experience is that the base models will be custom tailored by the clients to their liking with the add-on features. upgrade or change they want. (that is where I was hoping to make money on this one.)  I was hoping to blast out some plans. My struggle is "What is the minimum necessary to convey the design. 

    I have attached my client's competition's web page as a sample and hope that chief can blow that out of the water. Any comments tips or suggestions will be appreciated. Sincerely Doug

  2. Using X12 and I have been experiencing lag and crashed, I don't know if I can add memory... I am using a laptop bought before I chose to go fulltime Chief Architect, and I need more power. I can't take the lag and crashes. Should I buy another laptop or get a tower.I have 2 of the large curved screen monitors already and I have about $800 saved.... Any suggestions?
