Gotcha, well I must be doing something wrong, because if 30 is the norm my quality is bad. I always leave it unchecked and start getting good quality in the 2k range

I see this on my options, been never really understood why it should be checked, and if it needs to be, why the option?

Cool stuff... some are heck yeah others are "huh". lol. I will need to do some training on. Since I don't participate on the beta, one part of the video video (@ 10.09) I noticed corner post is floating.. was there a way to adjust that?

I want to mow the grass too Bob/Larry/Jason. Where did you find this, or is this a X15 beta thing?

It looks great PC, but like Java states, it's going to make your file large. I did this myself on my first ICF, but not as great of detail as yours.. and it started to bog down because of the size. So my fix was to create a new wall material (used a CMU block as my go by), changed the size to that of a ICF block. This got me close to a count. I'd still use the block you created in specific places where you'd have a detail (limited use). Put in its own layer to so you can turn off on the plan. And share if you can. my $0.02.

Hey Brandt, Another work around is to do a Cross/Section of the room. It shows more than what you need too, but????

The first thing I would check is to see if that wall is checked to be an attic wall.

I created a material of the zip board and use this in place of the typical OSB. I haven't used the zip with foam attached, but I do use the mineral wool for the "Rockwool" as illustrated in the attached. I'd be curious on the Zip Foam board for sure. I guess, again, create a new material board with the correct thickness (zip + foam) and R and use that in your wall definition. Your section views won't be correct but your reports will be. Or do like Maureen or John stated... On the Build Show!

What's up fellow Flo panhandler... Have you looked at your camera setting?

I am def impressed with your renders, and have booked marked this for future education. Shoot I still can't get past the glow around objects on an interior shot, without going to midnight. Why do you use countertops in lieu of a terrain feature? I am too! But my next project scheduled to start end of the week will be bigger than the normal 2k sq I'm used to doing.. So I am excited about that. Currently working on a 3 bed/2 full bath/kitchen/living/laundry at 1000 sq. My client is a 19 year old... wants to live within his means. Impressive!

Why not use a ceiling plane..? Then your fixture would have connected at the right height

Am I missing something here? Wouldn't a room schedule do this? You can set to standard, or interior sq.

yes, basically

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".

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?

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..

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!

Curious, what is a floating roof dormer?

I would hope by X16 railing issues would be corrected.

HURCULES.. HURCULES, HURCULES LOL

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....

Ah.. medallions... at least a good starting point. Thx gents

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?

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.

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?
