  1. With all due respect isn't that someone eles's watermark on that rendering?
  2. Draw it with a railing wall instead set to follow stairs.
  3. @Renerabbittis in that area and is great and does a phenomenal job doing as-builts for me. He has a professional lidar scanning setup.
  4. So just to point out that your AHJ will require an engineer in your area to actually design the foundation system. Most of my experience in San Antonio has required blasting or chipping away the bedrock as there was expansive soils under the bedrock causing the foundation to heave up to 8" throughout the year.
  5. Lock the layer and get used to working with your project browser open and being used to open views.
  6. You need to set your 0 level walls to use a pony wall with the foundation height set to the -44.25” point and the wall above what we framed wall you want to show there.
  7. Search the forums. The only thing not possible with Mac is the real time ray trace which is only available for certain high end gpus. All of the other features are still available and well worth the upgrade. If you do as asked and put the specs of your machines in hour signature it may help to see if there is a reason why you are having any issues if you are.
  8. Two or more windows. Model it like it’s built.
  9. X12 and x13 have some amazing upgrades that make it worth it if you never use it for renderings. Just for production construction documents alone both upgrades are worth it in my opinion.
  10. Same thought except a little more severe of a case to get me to do a downvote. For me it actually has to be incorrect information or misleading for a downvote.
  11. Without knowing what is sluggish I am guessing the ram is not helping. @dshall
  12. Thats a good machine but I personally would upgrade at least the ram and if you have the 5700 gpu available go for it as the imac is not easily upgradeable in the future. Nice machine though!!!
  13. Looks more like its the railing than the beam. Did you try pulling the railing back an inch from the wall with a room divider ?
  14. This has been discussed quite at length on many occasions so a search for this information would be very helpful for you. https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/search/?q=railing wall posts&updated_after=any&sortby=relevancy&search_and_or=and Couple of quick helper tips: 1.) Try breaking the wall and seeing what happens to the posts 2.) Make it invisible and place your posts and beams manually with the framing tools to get precise locations, footings, precise labels, etc.
  15. For many reasons Windows do not update framing headers after being placed unless you change it in the window DBX. Works well as I can set my LVL headers to 9 1/4 then place my windows on first floor for one builder of mine who wants that as long as it covers all openings, then when I go to second floor he changes to 7 1/4 or 5 1/2 (whatever is min for all windows). He does that so they dont have to figure out which size header on each floor. 99% of the time it is one size. So in that case I will change defaults between floors. That long unnecessary explanation leads to this. If you want all your windows to change header size, marquee select all the windows open them at once and change the header size/type in the framing panel of the window dbx.
  16. Can you post a screen grab or snip of what you see for your user library? Many times the issue when not seeing your library is that a filter got initiated somehow.
  17. That is exactly what it sounds like. Check your individual roof plane heights. Btw that is very doable with auto roofs.
  18. BTW it is bumping into your window because it is going to conflict with it. If it's a base cabinet it is too low. If it is a wall cabinet it will stop it at the casing edge. This is so you don't design something that doesn't work.
  19. Many times it is due to not correctly set heights especially when using manual roof planes instead of using the automatic roof plane tool. Also happens if your roof planes are not joined.
  20. Are you sending a live standard view with color off by chance? Try sending from vector view a plot line version of this view and see if it fixes the issue for you.
  21. Some appliances such as wall ovens and dishwashers are setup to install directly into a cabinet. In this case you are showing you dont have a cabinet installed so it is recessing. You did receive an error message that popped up explaining this when you tried to place it outside of a cabinet.
  22. Do you have a room adjacent that is two stories? As in there is a room above the adjacent room with open to below selected? If so you do have two finishes as the adjacent room reads as a separate ceiling finish. If that is the case (took me a while to figure that out on a job) then use Dermot's suggestion above.
  23. Couple of great designers there in that area. @Renerabbittand @MKBDesign
