I have no problem creating custom extrusions, but I'm wondering what the best method would be to create this shape casing for various height windows. I don't think I've run into this before. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Great! That's two of us so far. Allen Brown (Brownsburg) and Tim Schrock (Lebannon) used to be involved. Do you know them?

This is great info. Thank you!

Oh. Damn.

Your eye doc can prescribe "computer" lenses. Maybe it's been discussed (I haven't read all the posts). I get my scrips from Costco Optical and what a difference these lenses make. As far as curved, I had a couple that I loved because the far fields / near fields were so much closer to my eyes (I use dual 32" monitors). But at the time 4K were pricey. Now I see they're around $450. Next pair will be curved. 4K resolution is fantastic.

I like that look. And your reasoning.

Yeah, I get that. Did you put a request in the Suggestions forum to separate opening indicators in plan view from doors?

That's what mine is as well. No problems here.

I don't think so unless the door is also dashed. Sometimes I've sent the plan to CAD and changed the lines, copied and pasted in place with lines larger than the original. I doubt that's helpful.

Several years ago we started a Users' Group that met in Indy. It went great for a year or so and then started to fizzle. Is anyone interested in restarting one? I have a cool space to meet in the Indiana Design Center in Carmel. We could really help each other. Open to suggestions!

I've had that issue only if the Bumping/Pushing checkbox is unchecked in the Snap Properties section of Preferences. It's not in the Cabinet Defaults.

Wow, Tommy! That's excellent work, and a great tutorial. We all thank you!

Have you ascertained that the boxed eave is checked on all the roof return planes? It's probably a duh question, but I have to ask.

I don't think that will solve the missing soffit though.

I mean to make a stair symbol to recreate the above-mentioned bottom tread it would be difficult as each stair set is different.

That's tough since every staircase has a different rise and run. I understand it's super difficult to program something like that. Thus far I've relied on photos rather than rendering the actual stair. It's frustrating! I'd put it in the suggestions forum if I were you.

Is it a manual or automatic return?

I've often wondered. I hope someone chimes in!

I see! That's a much better method. I simply did it manually. Once I'd done the left half I copied and reflected about the center object. My method would have resulted in hair pulling if there'd been more than a couple of p-solids to manipulate. Thanks again for the lesson!

I followed your instructions! Although, I couldn't figure out the part about a point marking the radius and using the Transform/Replicate to copy and rotate the p-solid about the point. I thought I had a good handle on that tool, but apparently not. Thank you so much!

Thanks so much for your help. This is the idea I had in the middle of the night, and now I'm able to show my client, thanks to you!

You're too kind. Thanks, Eric!

I've got it! But Eric, I like the way yours looks better. Would you mind posting the plan? If not, I understand. Thanks so much!

Thanks, Eric! I'm going to try today. I really appreciate this!
