  1. You're right. I totally missed that. I didn't study it long enough.
  2. I realize that. I was just making a point. I prefer to have the guy who actually built the system deal with any necessary service or repairs.
  3. It looks like you're getting some light bleeding. Try turning off the sun before ray tracing and see if that helps.
  4. I have my computers built and configured by a local "computer guy". That way you get exactly what you need, a little more money stays local, and your service is nearby instead of India.
  5. So...I guess you won't be posting the plan.
  6. I got similar results as you Lew. I have a feeling the file was exported incorrectly. And word on the street is that the best free AutoCAD-like software is DraftSight.
  7. You're not forgetting things already are you?? I'm just kidding, but this quote is just begging for Scott to show up and start commenting on how old you are : )
  8. Thats kinda what I was suspecting as well. Looks to be a little z-fighting on the edge of the sink like there are 2 countertops in the same general space.
  9. Todd, Can you attach the plan? It will eliminate all the guesswork.
  10. You might be suprised all the things you can make with little "cabinets". You can also use the slab tool, mouldings, framing, and any other number of tools to create those little parts. Once built I usually put them on their own "Custom cabinet parts" layer so they're not displayed in plan view.
  11. That isn't necessary. Doing that just inserts the images into the body of the post rather than as an attachment at the end.
  12. That's a pretty incomplete story and a bit deceiving. Actually The United States is barely outside the top 10 and two MAJORfactors that aren't mentioned... 1. Population density...The simple infrastructure required to supply high speed internet access to our relatively low population density and sprawling land mass is huge. I didn't look at all of them, but I would venture to guess most if not all those countries higher than us on the list have much higher population densities and the population is much more concentrated within those countries, therefore they need less infrastructure which makes it cheaper and therefore more affordable. 2. I think you will find several of the countries higher on the list also have somewhat if not entirely nationalized broadband service (at least heavily subsidized and mandated) which would make the true cost highly questionable at best.
  13. That is correct Joe. Sorry, I wasn't really thinking the tools had different names for 2D vs. 3D work, but you're right.
  14. I might note that I typically use the union tool for 2D. The others I find most useful for 3D.
  15. I've used the union tool quite a bit, and I think the subtraction tool for a custom door once, but never the intersection tool. I imagine if I started doing more primitive modeling I would use that as well though to get some more complex shapes.
  16. See attachment below...The way the camera label is displayed can be customized quite a bit. Specific to your question, you can change the callout size to something smaller or even zero and delete the label. Not sure why you can't get the callouts to disappear by turning the layer off. I would guess the cameras are actually open or you accidentally placed them on a different layer that is still on.
  17. That's exactly what I was thinking Joe...at least one of the ways. I'm not by my computer again but the other way I imagine it would work was using appropriately sized bow front or radius and cabinets with appropriately sized half round or quarter round mouldings.
  18. I haven't actually looked into my internet speed for sometime. Turns out we're on a 768K plan which they don't even offer anymore, so I guess I'm getting exactly what I'm paying for. I can get up to a 20M plan but it looks like thats as fast of service as our carrier here will provide. I was pefectly happy with my service before this thread now all the sudden it seems super slow... Thanks a lot Scott. Edit: It looks like my subdivision is one of a lucky few that has fiber optic lines buried and so I can get up to 75M internet service. Sounds intriguing but costs like $150 a month vs. I think $45.
  19. We also use a lot of custom built larger "one piece" units. I simply change the stiles to half of what I want them to be (i.e. 3/4" instead of 1-1/2") which solves the double stile issue.
  20. Man...that sounds AWESOME! I would love some sand from sunny San Diego : ) We're in Wasilla...about an hour to an hour and a half from Anchorage. I work almost exclusively in Anchorage.
  21. You're more than welcome sir. I'll try to bring more next time we head that way. My wife makes some killer smoked salmon. And salmon is ALWAYS good Scott as long is its there and you catch it before it starts to turn. My in-laws had a pretty slow commercial fishing season, but us...we did better. The Dept. of Fish and Game will occasionally open up a creek about 5 minutes from our home for subsistence dipnetting. Its right on the ocean in about 40 feet of glacial silt and clay and the tide rises and falls about 20 ft. or so We ended up catching I think 40 fish. It was a wonderful, disgusting, muddy good time : )
  22. They're not so hot...check these babies out...
