they seem to hit after 10 pm PST sometimes later , I reported 3 late last night too...

Thanks Michael , got my learning for today never heard of a Dog Ear Arch , neither has google apparently looks like it might be a US term for cutting the corners of Fence Boards though.... Would of assumed these Diamond windows would be in the Library somewhere , they aren't that rare... M.

It appears to be a roof over a deck or porch ?, rather than a Room , not sure if that is somehow effecting the out come of the Trim to Soffit check box ? and it cutting ALL the rafters down ? probably not I suspect the Porch Room is set to "Use Soffit surface for ceiling" , so it may do what you are describing thinking the slope ceiling is all soffit.....

Here the Porch wall would have to be 42" to meet code (guard rail) and the stair wall would be 36" above the nosing line so they would never meet at the same height in that corner , you'd have to step the porch wall back from the edge to make it happen , not bring it forward. Perhaps you are allowed 36"porch and 36" stairs for code ? so I think the levelling out is needed. Here I'd have to add a Grip rail as well since a 2x10 cap would not be considered "grip-able" , some inspectors no longer allow 2x6 even for the top cap. M.

no I see this too , so I tell IE to reload page , it asks about resubmitting data (yes) and it then reloads search finds why , no idea.....

I think the transfer fee if it was purchased as a secondary license is equivalent to the difference between what was paid for the 2nd licence and what that licence would cost new as a primary..... there was another thread on this a while back ...with Portrait/Ozgur ? who was going to sell his 2nd licence too. M.

Yep +1 on that , its a pita for sure

trying leaving soffits on but turn off "trim to soffit" which uses the subfascia measurement to trim the rafter overhangs/tails down to that measurement.

Just eliminate the short perpendicular wall and start the flare at the deck wall.....typically it would come into the wall under the Deck wall cap , here at least as the deck rail would be a guard rail so 42" high and the rail on the stairs only 36" , so no need for strange joints or "levelling out" M.

Bill , is correct this is how I would do it on the job too , ie make the small triangle with a 0" inside corner and have the rail turn the 15° (or whatever it is) then go down the slope. If you don't "turn the corner" 1st the two pieces will never be the same width as anything cut on the angle will have a longer "cut face" than the one cut at 90°. can you "fake it" in the real world ...yes if the angles aren't too bad but you will always have a hole in the back on one side as there is no material there.

it happens in both views Kirk...

you can get the sidewalk area/volume from the Polyline info in the Terrain Path DBX but it multiples for 1" thick only so you'd need to multiple volume by 4" thick ? no idea why its not in the ML though. M.

you may need to offset the Door's texture (material) so it will lineup with the wall's texture or use a material that doesn't have vertical/horizontal patterns....

thanks Val good tip....hadn't thought to try that

I did a small Arbor Plan the other day and the concrete pad was under Exterior Trim ............. still can't figure that one out.....

as I did....

No Dennis , always very careful not to click on links to unknown websites....... I just hit the Report button so the Mod will delete those posts...

yep I am see the same thing as Joe...in Vector View

this is a two line reply but this is what shows up 1st ,wondering if its on my end or not? only happening here BTW the difference is everything starting in bold (Blue/green) is a single letter line so the page is like 8-10 pages of one letter on each line... copied and reposted here I get what to see now....

I use this too but always check the "Auto adjust default Glass properties" box too ....seems to work , if I get your "drift" is the setting "sticky" in X6 ? Edit: Just had a quick play and now see what you mean , the window next to the shower is "clear" but the 3/8 standard glass in the shower stall is opaque.... didn't notice that before.... also noticed if I turn colour off I see the subway tile "lines" in the shower ( only above the glass) ,with colour on I only get a white square where the Subway tile is.....

Quote: Since we recently upgraded to X6, I've been working with multiple windows open: plan, sections, details, 3D, etc. I'm starting to think this is my problem. I seems that CA is "Building 3D Model" for every 3D window I have open I have 3 monitors and have noticed this as well when I break the tabbed windows away to my other screens , its as if there are now 3 instances of CA fighting for resources and things become very (very) slow.... multiple monitors was a feature I was waiting for but it appears as if that system isn't up to snuff yet....

the book they are referring to is worth the $15 on amazon too , picked it up several months ago after reading that thread... "Get your house right" by Marianne Cusato

might be still in the digest list ? but none on forum as of 2pm PST Tues that I see...

Thanks Jon , needed a good laugh ..... sorry I'm no help to the OP either... I'll have to wait for JC's tutorial like the OP
