Hey Jim, Well that was pretty quick and easy!! Yes, and Thank You. I was just missing that element of the equation. Good job - thanks again. - Drew

Good day, I am looking to make the deck board surface semi-transparent, to allow a slight visibility of the joist location below. This is a vector view with the material as Azek Sandy Birch (I know the color does not matter) Choosing a deck board, then 'Open object' and changing fill to anything renders no change. Is there a way to do this properly? Thank you - Drew

Of Course!!! That was the one thing I was missing in my searches - A NEW LAYER SET Worked Great!! Thanks again - Drew

Good day all, Is there a way to 'unlink' an item sent to Layout? I would like to unlink a 'to scale' deck framing image on layout page, and now add the surface material to it as an additional item sent to layout. When I add the surface material in Plan View, it automatically adds it to the deck framing on Layout. Even if I uncheck "Linked Saved Plan View". I would prefer to keep both 'to scale'. This happens to be done in X15. I suppose I could do as image and try to get to scale. Hmmmm Thanks for the help! - Drew

Yes to all the questions - I can go with that if I can not figure out something else. Thank you for taking the time. Have a great day! - Drew

Good day, I've created a privacy wall for a hot tub area using the railing tool. It is needed to have the wall off the ground, and a mid support post within the wall showing at the exposed area. Might there be a way to have the post to be coved both sides with the siding? I am currently not figuring that out. Thanks so much !! - Drew

Wonderful Mark - Thank you!! I was trying something similar, but not getting the proper result. Good job! Thanks Again!!

Good day folks! When I have the cabinets made for a specific project, I just specify my needs and they are done. Is the a way for CA to display or show this..... How can the bottom of an upper cabinet be moved up 1-1/4" into the cabinet? With the door fronts maintaining their specified height, not moving up with the cabinet bottom. This would in effect give the upper cabinet an area below to 'mount' a physical light bar with electrical plug. I know this may not work for every situation, however for this one, let's run with that. Yes LED tape could be applied to the underside of the cabinets. For this task, we are looking to 'mount' from the underside for electrical also as an all-in-one bar. Keeping in mind the cabinet door will give the look of going to the bottom of the upper. And when you open the cabinet door, you will then see the raised bottom and the horizontal molding piece covering the open gap to the underside. Thanks for you insight if this can be accomplished. I've not tried yet in 16. - Drew

Thanks Scott, Good job. I thought I changed that Y origin. Guess not. Thanks again - have a great day!!

Good day I did not locate in the library a toe kick heater. To make things easier - I think it was anyway - I copied a 'Rectangular Ceiling Cassette'. In doing so, I changed some of the properties so the alignment would be more representative of a toe kick heater. It looks pretty close for a visual concept in Camera View. However.....In the Plan View (included) it shows the heater protruding into the room, not really under the cabinet. And in the Camera View, it appears correct. (view Included) I've also included the toe kick file to view the settings. So if someone may have a better understanding here - that would be awesome! Thanks - Drew Toe Kick Heater.calibz

I have not tried that option.... Thank you -

Yes I did first try the window option as noted. And did get close to the particular look. However when changing to any colored glass option it became a solid and not transparent. The second option does sound a bit time consuming as you mentioned. Thanks for the feedback! - Drew

Well Good Day! I've got 12" Earthen Walls. Windows and placement no problem. We would also like to have inserted into the wall from interior to exterior something like -> two glass bottles with the necks cut off and placed cut to cut. Or one end of the bottle on the Interior and one end of the bottle on the Exterior. Imagine two colored wine bottles fitted together. I tried making a 3D solid in glass, however it was not transparent allowing light to go through. What options might there be to accomplish this task, having glass on both interior and exterior?? The included image is a bit overkill, however the same idea. Thank you! - Drew

Thanks Glenn, That worked out great! Good job! - Drew

Good day, I drew in 3D Solid a custom corner board, replicating the EZ Trim EZ31 - extruded Aluminum Outside Corner. I can manually place the corner 'on top' of the corner - kinda - however by this method it will not pull back the siding material on either side (which I figured). See the image included which shows the siding material needs to be pulled back slightly from the corners for the aluminum outside reveal to show. For the material - within the - Open Object / Layers. The Default Layer is "Corner Boards". The Drawing Group is "24 - Corner Board/Quoin". I've also tried place the default corner board, and then try 'Replace Molding'. However that would not pull up my material in this manner. So I suspect I don't have one of the properties correct. Might someone know how to remedy this to use this new created material. Thank you!! - Drew
