It should run chief, apparently the processor , an M1 chip is super fast in lieu of intel I9, the downsides that I can see: - it is a 22" monitor instead of a 27" - the machine is limited to 16gb of UNIFIED MEMORY (whatever that is) compared to 128gb memory. I am not sure what this all means

Does anybody have any comments in regards to the new 2021 22" IMAC's? If the new model 2021 came in the 27" I would be down there this afternoon buying one. CA.... any comments? thanks guys.

It just happened to me an hour ago. First time in weeks if not months. I had so reset toolbars in prefs and all is well. Not sure what I did but I am sure you are correct, it was probably something I did.

I think someone once said it was due to the Mac computer and then throw in dual monitors ..... I gave up on tool bars years ago so I rely on hot keys .

I have now submitted this as a suggestion.

It is the plans reviewer who will question the extra lines.... you will not believe some of the comments I get from plans reviewer.

NICE CALL! Yeah, why can't we have hidden roof lines?

ditto

I don't like the solid fill idea because it will hide the walls below. For a 2 story I show a roof plan from the 2nd level, the first level roof are showing via ref set..... and then..... I HATE TO USE CAD LINES BUT I HAVE TO USE DASHED WHITE CAD lines over the lower roofs that are hidden by the upper roof. I would complain more about it but I am the only one here and I don't want to hear it.

I think they are busy implementing construction lines.

Thanks Chop, you are kind of correct. 2 problem with that: 1- It cannot be controlled on a door by door basis 2. the opening header lines is for the header, I want it to highlight the arch opening including the drywall, not the arch opening framing so... we still need control of the TOP EDGE LINES...... thank you very much

We still can't control HEADER LINES? I can't believe it! I think this topic pops up now and then, this is dumb.

Suppose you are working on a plan and you want to import a SPV and its corresponding LAYER SET from another job, simple go to IMPORT SAVED PLAN VIEWS and select the project that has the SPV you want and you get the corresponding LAYER SET. Pretty Darn clever of CA.

hey hey hey.... CA is doing it again....... .... after they make the "upgrades", let's bombard them with complaints!

I say the fake room idea is a bad idea. I say using ref sets like Dermot suggested is best solution., I put exterior stairs on their own layer for more control......... who cares about the up/down arrow showing, draw it in yourself.

change your wall type to this, then you will get wood rim boards. (check your wall type)

they may be roof intersection points? or temp points you put in the plan

thanks Joe

Does anybody remember What year did we go from 36" hi to 42" hi guardrails in CA? I think we were still in the UBC thanks

hmmmm. for some reason if I open a new plan it behaves correctly, however with my plan, is drops the bottom chord down. Wall is correct height, roof is correct height, bottom chord is dropped down.... only on my plans, not on a new one.....

I have noticed this with the past couple of releases.... anybody else notice this? Scissor Truss bottom chord frame 2" too low. I start the roof plane at the exterior of the wall and I start the roof plan at the interior face of wall.

As a fall back you can use CUSTOM MUTTINS...... I assume that is still a feature 8n CA

I did a vid on this many years ago. You can make any shaped island you want. Think positive bow and negative bows. if it is complex, draw shape of base cab with cad lines and then using the info from each arc/line to define the length/arc of the bow cabinets. you get the BOW DEPTH from the cad arcs. it is really quite easy once you d9 it once or twice.

funny you mention Bruce Goff, one of my favorites. I do between 50 and 100 remodels each year. Including a 4 hour site measure, most AS-BUILTS come in around 12-16 hours sans details, electric plans and all the BS paper work we in California need to complete. So this includes site plan , elevations, roof plan, floor plans, demo plan, 8 sections, framing plans, foundation plan and a round of golf. CA is truly an amazing program for the type of work I do. Hence this necessitated a 20% increase in hourly rate this year.

that is a fair number.... or quicker.... at least 24 hours
