I think it will work, it should... it's working right now with x7 but only zoom-in and zoom-out functions but not the orbit function. In the X8 video they have orbit function working in camera view, I would assume it should work in both (plan and camera)  I checked 3Dconnexion page if they added  compatibility notice for CA but not yet, I think after they do a driver update it will work with X7 as well. 

My pleasure Gentlemen, any time!

Select them all and drop/drag it into Chief as you would do with PDF or anything else.

Joe,thank you very very much!

Hey fellow Chiefsters    I hope everyone is up and kicking...

There was a post here recently on how to set up "a numbered callout " I believe an invisible plant was part of that setup so each time a callout is dropped into the plan, the number will change i.e 1,2,3, etc. I think it was Joe, Perry or Larry showed how to set this up and there is a video of that floating someplace, but I can't find it. If anyone has an idea where it might be, could you post a link please or a video, because I tried to set it up on my own, and I get pretty much everything done and but I think I'm missing something because it seems I can't get it to work.

Thanks in advance and have a good weekend!

I know some manufacturers make them, but never seen one yet being installed. You can take a double window from a 3D warehouse upload to sketchup and make a triple hung from it and import into CA as window, that should work. 

3d warehouse has a large selection of Simpson hangers including 3d hold downs, I usually get them from there as needed. Also if you need a specialty hanger and they don't have it, try contacting Simpson Engineering Technology Department, and say you been to a 3d warehouse and you cannot find a certain hanger there for a project and you need to display that on the 3D model and see if they have it... if not there is a good chance they will make it for you. They just made me a  DTT1Z tension hanger I needed for a project, they made it and send it to me within a few days.

Good luck

I hope the same Perry, you experienced, knowledgeable and a great asset to CA community, not to mention a great guy... so I hope you be around for another 100 years.

Double click Roof Icon, select Frieze and  adjust attributes to what you need. 

Where is the plan?

I think so far windows 10 is the best window system they came out with... although XP Pro I was running before the upgrade wasn't to bad, I never had any issues with it as well... and now Windows 10 system runs like a Swiss Clock, no issues what's so ever since the upgrade. Would definitely recommend it without thinking twice.

Must be something with your PC or I'm not sure what format you saved the file or what format you used to export. I downloaded into Sketchup Pro 2016 and saved it in Sketchup 2013 SKP format and imported to CA without issues.

Denis I'm not sure what you trying to do. If you dealing with a corner and you cannot use a corner cabinet which comes in 33" or 36" you can order a corner kit from most kitchen manufacturers, which come with a face frame and already attached toekick, with side panels and the bottom shelf which can be trimmed to any size. 

This is a typical raised roof as you would see it on many cape cod homes... the only bad thing about it, it's not feasible to have the framing done this way, it's not a practical way of doing it.

Go into a Default Settings>Dimension>Auto Exterior Dimensions and select how you want the dimensions to be displayed.

Rishele, I did this once for a customer, I made a pLine solid and placed it on the wall, made it 1" thick, put the mirror frame over it and dropped a few puck lights behind, made them 1" thick and put them around Pline solid, the frame will cover them.  Here is something I made quick just to show you, I placed the lights along the top and one side on the right and that is the effect. They should add a strip light to the library unless there is one already someplace, but I couldn't find it.

I hope it helps.

Fellas, keep in mind that winder staircases are definitely not a safe way to go, because stairs change dimensions as you're ascending and descending.

I know around here building departments have strict rules when it comes to winder style staircases. I know it's been said before that building codes don't allow their construction in any manner, and they all require a 10" tread depth along the "line of travel" 12" from the narrow edge of the stair treads, and min 6" at the edge.

A while back there was a lawsuit and everyone lost big time, the township neglected to enforce the code, but they're insured, the designer and the builder got nailed and paid allot of money including punitive damages.

So check with your local building department before you invest your time designing this staircases so builders don't end up  ripping them out (seen that happen to a few contractors)...

As common sense goes, it is a fact that when there is a change of stair dimensions within a single staircase this is the leading cause of staircase accidents and people get hurt.

I haven't seen flush beams on decks in ages, unless this is an older style screened porch, because it uses the frame to transfer roof load right onto the flush beam and down onto the footing instead of the decks cantilevered ledge.

On most decks I use flush beams when framing angled decks, octagons or when building stair landings because doing a cantilevered beam is less practical in these cases. I guess the way CA is designed to a more modern deck construction since not many people do screened porches and prefer more open deck environment.

Same here Ray, we follow 2009 IRC

I agree with Scott and Perry, no way this would fly here... 6" min at the edge and 12" walk line.

What I usually do is select Edit>Reset Defaults and it will give you options, in your case you would set ceiling to defaults. That will fix everything.

Cut a hole on the countertop... In the plan view use Rectangular PLine outline the tub, select and use convert tool to countertop and select Hole in Countertop and you be all set.

Here you go its all fixed. Go to your wall DBX properties and remove #2 wall layer as indicated in the picture. That what caused the window issue.

Is the Cabinet Base Layer turned on?

Okay,  so Greg has complicated things.......    Greg,  are you saying I can have an eave WITHOUT THE ONE HOUR CONSTRUCTION within 5' of property line  (no closer that 2'-6") IF I block the soffit vents and gable end vents.

 

I do not use soffit vents anymore,  I do not use gable vents anymore,  I only use roof top attic vents.  Are you telling me I do not need the fire protection?

Scott, it depends on the jurisdiction, some towns will allow to avoid that when it comes to a single family house, some Towns will go above and beyond.
