  1. Why not use a ceiling plane..? Then your fixture would have connected at the right height
  2. Am I missing something here? Wouldn't a room schedule do this? You can set to standard, or interior sq.
  3. No problem Eric... I am drawing out the lot lines, and when I draw a property line, I draw it in feet, with a 2 place decimal, like I would when I dimension it. But when I look at the properties, it shows in the 128th of an inch.. not the feet.00".
  4. Ok, need a little guidance this Saturday morning, and its probably right in my face, and the coffee hasn't soaked in yet. I've gone through Preferences and didn't see it, I've searched help and all I'm pretty much finding is inches to metric stuff, and I've gone through my defaults.. but I still cannot find where I change the default so that I am not drawing lines at 128ths of an inch. . Curious why this is the OOTB option anyways?
  5. That's bada$$. Very cool. I'd live in any one of these, esp. the one to the right with skylight and unique shaped deck..
  6. Floating Dormer: Also known as a false dormer or fake dormer. In this type of dormer, all walls rest on top of the roof plane. Yeah, I googled it. I know what they are, shoot my house has one.. just didn't know they were called floating. Thanks Jim. I'm always learning!
  7. Curious, what is a floating roof dormer?
  8. I would hope by X16 railing issues would be corrected.
  9. HURCULES.. HURCULES, HURCULES LOL
  10. This worked pretty well. Thank you all. This job didn't have the budget to spend hours on hours just on the hood. I think I got it close though so moving on....
  11. Ah.. medallions... at least a good starting point. Thx gents
  12. What are these? Are they fancy pilasters mounted on drawers and shelves.. My client wants to duplicate as much as possible, but I have no clue what they are even called. And does Chief have these?
  13. I'm impressed they arrived yesterday and are already installed with snow... But to answer your question, I don't spec out Pella's either so I have no idea.
  14. Hey Mark, thanks for giving me the resolution thumbs up yesterday, however it looks like Glen, Steve, Ryan and Chop actually gave you the correct resolution. One of them should get the credit. I'm glad they figured it out for ya! I'd def be interested in the two methods (pdf's) you mentioned. How can I find these?
  15. BTW, nice perfect wall! I see it all the time being used on The Build Show!
  16. Hey Mark, Its been a long day on my end, so I hope I am understanding your question. Are you trying to get what I showed in the attached?? If so, Roof Plane Specifications, Options> Cut : square
  17. Very finicky point, esp. with Chiefs pony walls. You'll have to turn that plumbing wall to meet the pony wall. I put in a room divider wall to locate the glass pony, then turned the shower wall angled to match. As you can see I only could do about 4" min. before it reverts back to how you had originally.
  18. Looks like a couple up your upper walls are not aligned with walls below. Then you will need to fix any gaps by adjusting by editing wall layers
  19. Have you tried putting all the roofs on the same level? If I am understanding the issue... determine the level you want all planes, select and move each accordingly with the arrows highlighted on the attached. It wont mess your model up either.. I did not open your model to see if this was the issue..
  20. Oh.. I missed reading this in Ryan's comments. I thought the same thing but didn't know if there was a reason you had to have the beams. Some clients like that look for instance. With Ian and Michael, yeah everything is going up on pilings that are within the eye sight of the gulf. The two I'm working now, for here in Panacea FL., are zone "VE" EL 20. That's a lot of stairs man. :-) Keep up the good work dude!
  21. So what did you end up doing Rob for the original question? Been doing a lot of pier houses as of late myself.
  22. From OOTB kitchen and bath pull down, not that I could ever do. Easy to do with a poly though..
  23. Like Ryan and Jeff suggested, 3D Warehouse have some, BUT what I have found and tend to use quite a bit is located in Chiefs Bonus Catalog, Backyard Ponds and Water Features. In this folder, under Pre-configured Ponds, is a Koi Pond Block. It has various rocks and shapes. I explode it and use the rocks where I need them.. No harm to the Koi BTW...
