  1. Use CleanUp plugin by ThomThom in Sketchup before you export your model.
  2. Let her start with HD and see if that will cut it for what she needs to do before she shells out almost 3k, she can always upgrade down the road. I know a few contractors who use HD and that is more than enough for what they do.
  3. Look at the rug thickness and set that amount "Off The Floor" distance on the furniture. So if your rug is 3/4" open DBX on your furniture and set 3/4 off the floor height
  4. You can select joist and set the transparency so you can see the labels. You can select the post and select labels and change offset to -2 or something like this, you can select joist and remove the solid fill. There is a number of ways you can do this.
  5. I don't have that issue, pony wall works as it should.
  6. Is this what you trying to do? Your walls were also a mess, you had all kinds of things going on there, not to mention many walls were misaligned. I fixed some of them but you need to check the rest. PLAN 6-14.plan
  7. Uncheck layers to hide anything you don't want to be seen. Terrain, foundations, footing, etc.
  8. As always, great video Mike and very helpful! Thank you!
  9. Matt, Shoot me PM here and leave your email and we will take it from there. Thanks!
  10. make sure all your room heights have "default room height checked" and if you want to have a certain room to be the different height you set the desired height for that room only.
  11. Thanks for clearing that! I was just wondering what they were and I thought that textures and everything else related to the library items are packed into calibz file.
  12. I'm trying to clean up my PC, and I ran WinDirStat program and I see that I have in ProgramData\Chief Architect Premier X8\Referenced Files folder a bunch of library zip files which amount to tens of GB. Do you need this files for any reason or they just there for when library files being installed and can they be deleted? Thanks!
  13. It's not about adding or subtracting, it makes no sense going to the center of framing because when you do your layout you snap your lines to the edge of framing and you work all your dimensions from that line or edge of the plates.
  14. Never seen a plan with center dimensions... Always to the face-framing. Kitchens, etc always to the face of sheetrock surface.
  15. You might want to check your settings in Preferences
  16. I couldn't open DAE file with SketchUp but 3ds it shows the door with the arched top but not the windows. Post your CA plan, so I can export the model both formats and test it. It looks like your model is missing lots of stuff.
  17. Here is what you have to do before you import >click options>check mark merge coplanar faces
  18. Thank you Jerry! Very nice collection.
  19. I wouldn't try doing all this clicking, the last thing I need is to advance the time getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome lol
  20. Mike, click Built Roof tool and go down to Material and it should be there
  21. I'm not at my computer but If you select the room select decking and select rebuild decking or regenerate decking something like this and that should fix it
