I'm away from my computer now so I can't double check to see if there was some other setting that needs to be set a certain way. I don't think there is though. Only thing I can think of is to make sure auto rebuild foundations is turned on and to make sure you have an enclosed room. I don't think that setting I pointed out was designed for this particular use (I believe it was designed to add walls and footings under interior partitions) but I have made it work for the situations mentioned in this thread. I'll have to check when I get back to the office to see if there's something else that needed to be done. On a side note, I personally don't shy away from turning off auto foundations either. I typically do as Perry does also and just draw any oddball foundation stuff manually. Chief never seems to be able to get foundations exactly like I want to them without making some manual modifications. I was just trying to offer a possible solution for those of you who don't want to turn off auto foundations.

All you should need to do is check this...

You cannot use a block for a symbol if that block contains another nested block.

You can do that with Ruby and Text Macros.

You bet. Thanks for the donation. Hope you have a great rest of your weekend.

I wrote that to be placed into the actual slab label. If you want to use a text box with a leader line you'll need to change the context from Owner to Referenced or use this one instead. It can be used for either context... rgw perimter.json

Not sure. What object type are you using it for? And are you placing it into a label or into a text box?

Here you go... rgw perimter.json Just download and import this macro via Text Macro Management and then place your new %rgw_perimter% macro into your label. It was written and tested relatively quickly but I think it should do the trick. If you find it valuable enough to you maybe consider sending a donation my way by simply clicking on the PayPal link down in my signature.

Like this?

This is SORT OF possible but it would require a highly customized font and one or more custom text macros and you would be very limited with regard to vertical spacing. I don't think it would be any kind of worth it.

That would require a custom macro. EXACTLY what format and rounding are you looking for?

Try check Use Global Symbol mapping. You may end up wanting to create a unique material with that setting though for just your drawer fronts.

Here's what I personally do FWIW... I typically check the appliance specs and set up the cabinet and opening(s) accordingly. Then I place the properly sized appliance manually. I just personally find that placing the appliance via the cabinet DBX to be less accurate and far more error prone.

In X7, the bump map settings are on the Properties tab.

What version are you using?

There are so many options out there in this regard that its getting ridiculous. The one piece of advice I would give is this... Whatever you choose to use whether it be Dropbox (which is a lot more than just a cloud storage solution now), Zoom, Skype, etc. etc....As much as humanly possible, try to just stick with using ONE of those mediums for your collaboration. In my experience, one of the single biggest breakdowns in communications that can occur with things like this is when different parties are communicating though different channels and completely missing what has been communicated elsewhere. In other words, make sure everyone is on board with using the same tool and sharing information/giving feedback in the same place. It can prove to be an astronomical waste of time and energy if even one person in the chain misses the boat because they were trying to communicate over here when everyone else was having a different conversation over there.

You need to close the file before you zip it. Also...to get the file size down, consider delete any unnecessary objects from the file and doing a save as of the trimmed down plan file.

All you should need to do is drag those 4 little short walls through so that the join into the exterior walls. Eric and Chopsaw's solutions are both good as well. Really just depends on works works best for you and for the individual situation.

No...we are talking about the same thing. I just may not have described it properly I guess. I was saying almost the exact same thing you just said in your last post. When I said that the 3D plants used images with transparent backgrounds, I was really just referring to the material definition same as you. Instead of deleting the texture file though I was suggesting to change the material altogether and I also added the idea of possibly making the material semi-transparent. I do like your idea of just deleting the texture file though. That's a pretty quick method.

Most of those 3D plants use images with transparent backgrounds. Just change the material to a solid color and see if that works for you (with or without transparency).

I don't think there is any right answer. I think you're just going to have to figure out what works best for you. Just a reminder though about one feature we have that may get overlooked pretty easily... You can always place objects onto their own unique layers and either check or uncheck material list for that particular layer in any given layer set. Just remember that your material list will generate based on the settings in your current layer set.

I downloaded that library Johnny and the door looks just fine on my end. So does that pull. And they work fine together as well. Not sure what the deal is. One of the 2 must have been corrupted on your system somehow though.

That pull works just fine for me. I suspect it may actually be the Bella Drawer front that is the problem. Where did you get that? I don't have it in my library. Try to copy and paste that drawer front to your user library (assuming its from a bonus or manufacturer library), right click and Open Symbol in the library, and check what the bounding box depth is. I suspect its probably less than 3/4" (which is probably roughly what it SHOULD be. If my suspicion is correct, you should report it to tech support. In the meantime, you'll just have to modify and use the drawer front from your user library. You'll have to modify it first though... Take a cross section of that cabinet and measure how deep that drawer front is. Open Symbol in your user library and set the Bounding Box Depth to match that number. Replace the drawer front with the new one from your user library.

There still doesn't seem to be any usable information in your attachment. There is still a file with no information and the only file that contains any data is not a valid file type. Actually...that file has NO file type. I'm wondering if perhaps you're not just dealing with a corrupt font file that happened to work okay for a while.

Chris, I think you'll need to first zip your font file and then attach it. What you attached doesn't contain any information.
