Yeah I figured... thanks! The only good thing, is this a change order... time equals $$. I was just hoping to be done sooner than later.

The 7/8" is the total of your floor thickness material (you can see this in the room dbx). for example carpet and padding. The 4" is your slab. Just how Charles described.

Ooh, right on Lake Erie, sounds cold. So your looking for someone to be local I assume.

I don't get these too often, and if I do, its usually at the concept stage. How do you manage this if needed AFTER the con docs are done? I mean the house mirrors beautifully, with a few clean up items. The section arrows callouts mirror pretty good also HOWEVER the actual sections do not, at least they didn't in this case. Do they normally mirror? If this is part of the cleanup, is there a way to "flip" the section cameras so I don't have to redo ~25 section views??

Looks like his is going to be quite the challenge, no matter the software. I can see why its taken 30 plus years to start. Def. keep us updated on progress and how you do/figure out things. It would a lesson learned for the multitude. Like Rich stated... just start, one step at a time. Trace over a plan if you have it to get jest.

@DBCooper @ComputerMaster86 Thanks gentlemen. The tool found one instance for "batt" that I missed. Much appreciated

I was wondering if we have a "Find and Replace" text option...like another well named brand of design software has? I have the word "Batt" mentioned many times on this doc, builder wants me to take all references to BATT off the drawing so he's not held to using it. I am wondering around to all details and plans and notes to catch what I can.. I know I am going to miss at least one.

@John_B Are all your roof layers on? You shouldn't be seeing OSB. How far out is your over hangs, this render looks almost flush.?

I am not a fan of these... no matter the version. I just grab the grip on each one and pull it tight so its not as noticable.

@jacpdx I think DBC should get the "solution" nod....

Oops.. I see DBCooper already called this link out. Great minds I guess.

If all else fails, try building it manually.

Are each one of these houses symbols? This is how I would have done this from the start, model the houses, have one of each style, turn them into blocks, then then bring them into your contoured lot plan. Adjust each one accordingly in their x, y, z. Obviously, you'll still need to learn the terrain tools to level areas out. Seems like a huge project that your learning on....

Ah man... wished this wasn't in the middle of the week. Orlando is 4 hours away, and too many things going on this week up here in Tally. Enjoy Florida.. maybe you'll be the next famous Californian to move here. Millionaire Row in Miami would suite you well.
