X10 - Importing a 60KB PDF into layout adds 17,000 KB to the layouts PDF File!
CV-reno replied to AvoyeDesign's topic in General Q & A
Not the ideal solution, but have you tried 'optimizing' the resulting PDF from layout? Post that file and I'll see how much it can be reduced in size. -
Can I save a newer version file to an older version?
CV-reno replied to Rytikom25's topic in General Q & A
How many times have any of us had to save to a previous version? It comes down to probability of use -vs- effort to implement. -
Video Editing Software compatible with Chief Architect
CV-reno replied to Roshele_Allison's topic in General Q & A
Depends how fancy you want to get, but look into Cyberlink's Power Director here. -
Very interested in replies as well. Really not obvious using strictly CA features. This is the best I've managed.

X12 crashes on starting full camera view (Error #272000999)
CV-reno replied to kintaro's topic in General Q & A
For what it's worth, I have had two instances where I got the OP's message. Both times I thought it was time to reboot, just in case, only to see when I restarted that I had some pending Microsoft updates. Once restarted, those same plans let me open camera views without problem. So I suspect some updates temporarily interfere with programs that make heavy use of the video cards. -
Rails offset: how to manage on stairs & balconies
CV-reno replied to CV-reno's topic in General Q & A
For the balcony ramps, I struggled with your suggestion ... until I realized I also needed to uncheck this. Happiness now. Thanks! -
Rails offset: how to manage on stairs & balconies
CV-reno replied to CV-reno's topic in General Q & A
Hi Eric, Signature updated. The PDF was not meant to be, was aiming for the image of, but screwed up. BTW, thanks for always being here; do you ever sleep? Not sure I understand your suggestion. Increasing the 'wall width' will not shift the railing on the stairway or balcony base, which is what I'm after; and BTW, how to you get to that DBX for a staircase?. I may have missed the essence of your message, it is late, sorry. -
I have a balcony I need to reproduce where the railings (platform & stairs) need to be centered on the posts supporting the roof. See attached. I can offset the newels, but the railing won't follow. I can shift the railings but the balcony and stairs will shrink/expand (BTW, what's the use of offsetting newels?). I've looked at all the options, but dead end. I know I can 'fudge' this by 'constructing objects' to get the result, but should I need to do this? Simple solution? X12 9 Kay-2 front balcony.pdf

Comm. Outlets... what're you guys showing these days?
CV-reno replied to DzinEye's topic in General Q & A
A few months ago, I would have replied that there is nothing more dependable than a hard wired CAT5/6. That was before I personally experienced wireless 5Ghz at .4 GB/s from my cable/ethernet provider. I now have no problem accepting wireless connectivity ... within a house. Unless you have 4 simultaneous gaming teenagers, local wireless bandwidth should not be a problem with a .5 or 1 GB uplink to your provider. If you do have 4 simultaneous gaming teenagers, you'll probably need a 10GB/s uplink. But that is beyond what is needed in terms of connectivity within a house. I now find that the cost of adding hard-wired receptacles plus the wiring and terminating (time & material) in a new build has a financial impact. My experience is that AV can add up to 5-10 devices needing ethernet connectivity: placing a switch/router downstream to your cable/ethernet provider coax/fiber handles the local load just find in general. We've already seen the disappearance of RJ11 outlets everywhere because of wireless telephone systems. Wireless is catching up.
