Joe, many thanks for your sharing these images.

I just read the CA holiday email....... It mentions an android mobile version in 2015. Anyone know any more than this subtle hint? I haven't seen this topic confirmed before, and if it has, I obviously missed it.

Thanks for these being converted to older versions. It's been several months since I was last on the forum, and I found the thread again today and successfully downloaded them to my X5.

David, thanks for that link. I appreciate your taking the time to do that!

Does anyone have a camouflage texture or paint pattern available for a deer stand presentation suitable for X5?

It appears that 3-D Diva.com has taken down her website, which is a huge loss of textures and materials that she had offered for free for such a long time. If anyone has other information on this, please post.

Once again, I ask, are your wonderful contributions available only to X6 users, or is there a way for them to be backward compatible to X5 and previous versions??

Me thinks these are not working in X5 due to their being created in X6...............is that correct??

Thanks for that link..........I'll give it a try!

I need a soldier course arch symbol that can be sized to different openings, either with a keystone or without. I've searched this and the older forum without success. I found a couple of topics, but nothing that discusses how to make these. I've tried doing some arches/polylines and converting to 3d molding, but my assigned material doesn't show up or it lays flat on the terrain instead of vertical to move it around and place on a door or window. The segmented symbols in the library do not allow me to vary the radius to match my drawing. Anyone have a technique for a custom segmented arched brick soldier course. Thanks.

My goal with asking the question was to solicit best recommendations as to both minimum usable size were site dimensions unrestricted, as well as the comments specific to the limitations/constraints that the site would pose so that I might anticipate what argument to use with the city planning board. My design is simply 13' x 24' outside wall dimensions, which would require a 2' variance from the city's existing 7' requirement. Thanks everyone.

I'm about to submit a Variance Request to the city for a side yard set-back to allow for construction of a single car detached garage. There is an existing distance of 23'-6" from the current exterior (brick) of the house to the side property line, and the city has an existing side yard requirement of 7' from the P/L. The HVAC outside unit on the side of the house where I am designing the detached garage takes up 5' from the house. Under strict mathematical calculations, I would have 11'-6" for the garage, but that doesn't leave any clearance or room for air flow around the HVAC unit. Distance front to back is not an issue, only the side yard set-back with the city. I'm curious as to the opinion of others on a minimum width and depth to propose to the city, and how much of a variance might be needed for an optimum and usable size single car, detached garage would be appropriate from a design and usefulness standpoint under these constraints----stressing usefulness. The existing house has a brick exterior, and it is assumed that the detached garage would need to match the brick on the house---------obviously, the brick takes up more space than one with siding, so that enters into the equation as well. Thanks to anyone who wishes to offer up their ideas........
