    Color Chooser Workflow?

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    Yes others are like that, I believe it's a windows thing. Way I deal with it is to copy the RGB, Hue, Saturation, and Luminance to a sticky note kept always on top. Then whey you start a new color, where you can pick a new box, type those in. The other way is to use the eyedropper at the bottom left after selecting a box-you get a preview so can be in the ball park as a stating point. Note it doesn't always go into the box you pick but at least it doesn't over write your first one.

     

    It is not a windows thingy..... It is QColorDialog class

    Yes you are running 15G1004, but did you update your NVIDIA WEB DRIVER, or at least what version are you running?

     

    The error appears in ::setupAngleAndBumpingRestrictions list deallocator reports corruption. Did it just started? Or you had the same errors prior to the Security Update?

    Could be CPU overheating. You need to look at windows event log, for  Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power.

     

    Get something like HWMonitor  to see if CPU runs hot. Error could be driver related. In that case also check with the event log.

    Room labels

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    "Closet" "Storage" "Bedroom" "W.I.C." make your own room labels. Think about the question before responding. LOL Your talking about the text style not the Room Label itself. The subject even says Room Labels, not text style. LOL

     

    You did not state what you meant is a "room label". LOL. What is obvious to you is not obvious to others. If you would have stated I would like to add a room type, or a room name it would have been decipherable. Everything below is LABEL

     

    Some like:

    (E) DINING ROOM

    10' - 1" CLG

    TILE FLOOR

    12' x 14'

     

    But since you are asking about adding rooms names/types to the list of default rooms -> the answer is NO.

    It has been already suggested.

    > - Terrains have an area value but no volume value in the dialogue box

     

    I believe because terrain is a surface located at particular elevation value and has no volume. Most excavation companie can not figure this out either

    so a software works of elevatons: (Highest + lowest ) /2 * area

    Asking before I post in suggestions.. Is there a way to have specific room labels so you don't have to re-type them every time??

     

    How can anyone guess what you mean by  "don't have to re-type them every time"? 

     

    You do not have to retype room labels. They are controlled by

    You can probably create a ruby macro for a simpler basement case. Or ask Joe_Carrick. May be he will create Macro of the Month

     

    Standard Sq ft x room height - (terrain elevation)  divided by 27 = CY 

     

    If you want more precise add 2' for trenching on each size.

    Very similar for slab

    Error Deleting Files

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    Sometimes these are caused by anti-virus, spyware, mcAfeee HIPs, etc. Because for some [insane] reason they scan file for infection prior to deleting.

     

    DeleteFile, NtDeletefile APIs returning Error code 0x0005 - Access Denied. 

     

    Most modern software plagued by this, esp if you have large file like 70 Meg plan file.  Because of this software is forced to use Async Save / DeleteFile.

     

    ===

     

    I would investigate if this caused by new ANTI-.. And if you can disable scan file on delete operation.

    I wouldn't buy a large printer. Staples or fedex kinkos can print large format.
    I would get Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II Inkjet Printer for $149.99 after rebate.

    I paid $50 for mine. It does 13" x 19". Anything larger - staples.

     

    As xHP employee I can tell you that many people got burned with large format plotters, as HP phased out drivers.

    It is nice to own 10k plotter that worked real nicely with windows XP, and no driver since.

    I reproduced number of plans from the Parade of Home(s) as a hobby. Autoroof NEVER worked for me. Not once produced correct result.

     

    >Also a lot quicker if there are any changes to the plan.

     

    My computer is couple years old and I5. Auto roof rebuild slows me down.  And I purchased home designer and will not use it because of roof auto build

    This is for pure learning

     

    I needed two RBP one for left structure and one for the right structure, right gable been  30" taller.

     

    Convert  wizard WILL not convert into RBP, but can convert RBP into something else.

    Again you can NOT sketch with lines as again we can not convert into RBP.

     

    It is rather convenient to specify pitch and  

    • VERT-V - vertical 
    • VERT-G - gable/shed
    • VERT-K - knee wall
    • VERT-L - lower

    Because I can get Chief to build just about any type of roof without joining roof planes by hand. It appears that what I was missing were roof groups.
