I def charged for this fiasco.. even though the extra $$ was nice, the time could have been used more productively (I think I had 6 hours into this). I understand clients might change their minds, but this still should have been caught during approval. Its a done deal now, but I will keep what you fella's mentioned if it ever happens again, hopefully not.

So besides mirroring the plan, you then mirror the sections, elevations on their own. Using the common mirror line? Do you use the Edit Area Visible tool or just a mirror? With the EAV tool, most dims mirror ok, I still have cleanup. But it also did not pick up the sections. I will keep this mind for sure, if another comes up. I manually redid every section again. Believe it or not, I'm on my second mirrored plan this week (I prob won't have another for a few years now), this one didn't get past the approval stages before they wanted it flipped. That was easy. I like this too...

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.
