Thanks @RobDesLLC and @JKEdmofor the help.

Yes, there are restrooms that are ADA compliant.

I have a client that wants a private half bath for her office.  The drawings submitted to the state Fire Marshall came back stating that the private bath had to be ADA compliant.  Is there an exception for a private bath?

This is the excerpt concerning a private half bath?

ADA-ABA:603 and 604 Toilet rooms for a single user accessed through a private office shall comply with the following: -

- 603.2.1 Provide a 5’ turning radius or T-shaped turning space complying with 304 within the room (located outside of any stalls and clear of all fixtures.)-

- 604.2 The centerline of the water closet shall be 16 inches minimum to 18 inches maximum from the nearest adjacent wall; and- 604.3.1 Provide a clearance around the water closet that complies with Figure 604.3.1. Clearance around a water closet shall be 60 inches minimum measured perpendicular from the side wall and 56 inches minimum measured perpendicular from the rear wall. (NOTE: As per 604.3.2 No other fixtures or obstructions shall be located within the required water closet clearance.)

- 604.5 Provide sufficient reinforcement in walls as to permit the future installation of grab bars complying with 604.5; and (Provide blocking within the walls to accommodate a future 42" long grab bar adjacent to the toilet and a 36" long grab bar behind the toilet.)

- 404.2.3 Door openings shall provide a clear 32 inches minimum; and

- 603.2.3 Doors shall be permitted to swing into the clear floor space or clearance provided the swing of the door can be reversed to comply with 603.2.3.- Maneuvering clearance at the door shall be such that a person with a disability can approach, enter and exit the room.

Had similar issues after about a year when it started zooming in randomly.  Contacted 3D Connexion support, they were quick to respond and shipped a new one to me.

I want to color highlight, say LVLs for example, on my framing plan.  Is there a way to assign a solid color fill style to a layer so everything on that layer is colored in all views?

Know I can open the item to assign the color or assign a colored material so it shows in 3D views.  

Thanks,

Keith

Don’t know if this is what you’re looking for, but I use the Bosch laser and the MeasureOn app.

You can sketch the rooms you need, select the dimension you want to measure, take the measurement with the laser and the dimension is entered.

Saw in a previous post that there was a Leica laser that works with CA.  Maybe the Disto D3.

Do a search for Leica.

Same here.  Have to login every time.

Your wall have have "No Room Definition".

Uncheck abnd you should be able to define your rooms.

When i add an exterior stairs, i have to create an Open Below room on the next floor to see the stairs.

My question, is this normal or have i maybe changed a default setting?

Thanks,

Keith

Check where the walls resize about. Under Default Settings - Walls - General Wall Defaults

Nice.

Thanks.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

For some reason when i close the Cutomize Toolbars, the order on the right side of my toolbars is rearranged.

This is Rab's Pro-Plan layout that I've customized for my use.  

I want the Walls column 2nd from left.

When I close the Customize Toolbar, the wall column is to the right.

Thanks Joe.

Been working on some macros, but have a long way to go & a lot to learn.

Looks like the same error I got a while back.  If you already have the catalog in your library, delete it and try again.

X15 doesn’t like duplicates.

Here's a pdf showing text sizes for different scales.  Second page shows sheet sizes based on each scale.

Chief Architect Scales.pdf

Yes, there are about 15 catalogs that haven’t been updated.

Rene Rabbitt did a short tutorial on using the library that may help with the new format

As always, great video @Renerabbitt.

Thank you for making.

Try the What New in X15 video.  
If I remember correctly, it gives a quick overview that may help.

No, but would be nice.

I found some of the libraries are not in the catalog anymore and several several must have downloaded and i tried to download again.

Thanks Brett for your suggestion.

I remember Wolf was combined with the Sub-Zero library last year.

Has anyone had any problems importing X15 libraries into X15.  Sometimes an internet connection is not available so I want to download the primary libraries I use to my system.  I did a clean install so i didn't try to migrate X14 libiraries in X15. 

I keep getting this message, actually 56 times last night when I tried to copy a batch.  LOL.

The downloads are X15 versions.

Nice setup Joe.  I need to create default profile for all my programs; but it won’t be so extensive as yours.

Chief is my default now.

The different layout boxes fixes another issue I had.  I like Schedule & Note Titles placed top left so I can make the boxes long enough to catch any items added.

I do something similar for sorting CAD details.  I started with the first 6 spaces for sorting and striped them from titles.  In a previous post, Alaskan Son suggested .partition since my sorts always end in “- “.

Thanks again Rene for your suggestion.
 

Great idea, I’ll try it.
