Thanks Michael, I will try my best to figure out how you did this.
-
Do you have the same results with a Full Camera? Are you using the Dolly mode? I have found that the Full Camera in Orbit mode is quit good in X8 although it is a little touchy with the zoom feature when in close requiring a CTRL ALT Zoom in some situations.

Agreed. Better control here seems like something that we should have given you a long time ago.
So now in X8 we have been given 6 decimal places to figure out what to do with, Hummmm... 128.637952o

Michael Thanks for the Great Video and the time it took to make it.
This is a little off topic but, I was wondering if there was a tool that would save even more time when you are "Multiple Copying" if you set your Multiple Copy Primary Offset to 24" and your Secondary Offset to 48" when doing multiple rooms with the same grid.
The reason I ask is that I have tried this many times in lots of different situations and can not get it to work and it would be great if it would. The instructions are so simple and I can't figure it out.

You cannot copy cameras, wish we could.
Perry, Would this be the same as a "Save as" feature for cameras? If so this has to be submitted as a vitally serious suggestion if it has not already been done. This would be a major time saver now that we have live views in X8 layout.

Have you checked the 3D Warehouse:https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=ef17cd1e7a19ab26c098c5818fb85eba

That was it, thanks Jerry. Unlike me you sure are sharp tonight, I have not run into that one before and I hope there was no other reason I had the wall set as no locate, (old plan can't remember).
-
Just a little stumped with this. I have a door that displays fine in Plan View Set, and Default Set, but is just a ghost in Plan Footprint Set (selectable but will not display). Layer is on and the same as the other two visable doors, I have room definition therefore a wall to contain the door.
Not quite sure what else to look for? Any Ideas? Do not have permission to post plan.
-
Michael,Yes now I understand.
Mike, Have to be up early tomorrow so I will be signing off and leaving you in the hands of two of the most capable West Coast Boys.
If the previous instructions are clear to you but will not work please post your plan and one of the two previously mentioned guys will help I am sure or I will check back with you in the morning.

By default cabinets are already set to solid so setting the type to solid should be considered a non issue.
It seems that this is necessary just to get away from the default so you can make custom adjustments. (Transparency in this case)

Marilena, With a little more time to think about this problem, your assessment was likely correct and the better approach would have been to find an exterior room type for your sunroom that would work structurally, such as Balcony, Court, Deck, or Porch. Things always seem to work out better in the long run if you do not have to cheat.
-
Michael & Jonathan, Thanks for all the help today as I was doing field work.
Am I advising correctly as for the countertops or is there an easier way?
-
Yes Alan, That is the obvious solution that we should have checked first. Although even when you place an exterior door on a wall that Chief considers to be interior it does not appear on the schedule description as exterior, so there is a method that needs to be employed here to cheat the system. Everything gets altered including the door thickness.
Thanks, Chopsaw

Mike,
Try making your upper cabinets semi-transparent this works for cabinets and when there are stacked appliances you can do the same thing with the 2D symbol block.
Not so sure there is an easy solution for the counter top but you could try making copies and putting them on separate layers if you are not concerned about you material list. I did not have time to test this one for you but give it a try if there are no other suggestions.
Good Luck, Chopsaw

I believe you can delete it yourself after you are done re posting over to Home Talk (bottom Line)

Thanks Joe, I was just reviewing the post and noticed that you alluded to this feature in post #6, so thank you for expanding on the subject. I have successfully tinkered with this feature to adjust my schedules so I will look into the Sub Categories for the future.
P.S. For anyone else that is interested in Joe's "slightly complex process" I found his detailed procedure here:https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/5712-simplify-the-creation-of-custom-columns-in-schedules/?hl=%2Bsub+%2Bcategory and it works so thanks again Joe.

If you want to have access to some of the other columns of your schedule open the "Components Dialog" for the item and edit or add to a column that is also in your Schedule. This is something that I am just learning and did not seem to be discussed in this thread but is a very powerful advanced tool so you may want to take a look at the help file.
-
Mike, If you just go back and uncheck "include in schedule" as William suggested in post #2 I think you will achieve what you originally requested.
-
Do you have an example that you could post or is this something that could be done with a simple cad line grid?

CA library metal materials are designed to show their finish when Ray Traced.
I am sick and tired of of trying to guess if it is a my problem or CA's problem....

Scott,
I would like to sit in on that meeting with you if it is at a time I am available.
If not please record and post for all the rest of us.
Thanks for all the extra work you do to advance the software and teach all of us.
