I have a brother and sister in law who live in Prague. Beautiful city, they seem to like it. We went to Czechy Krumlov several years ago, that city is almost as unique as Venice. It is interesting talking to the older and younger generations, they seem to have opposing outlooks on the future.... the younger generation is optimistic, the older generation are not as optomistic.

You are in good hands with Curtis, he will help you out.

Oh my gosh, Nuficek is from the The Czech Republic...... are you in Prague? Your questions are confusing..... you probably need to restate what you can't do...... if your only problem is you can not see stairs in a 3d floor overview and you can see the floor below in the 3d overview..... then the only conclusion I can reach it the layer the stairs are on, is not turned on.

Absolutely amazing, I did my best to photo bomb many pics, but the only one of me was the back of my balding head. They got Wendy Welton, Mon Cherie (many times), heck, they even got Joe Carrick's mug multiple times, I saw the Great Glenn Woodward and many more folks, but no facials of me.... I think there was a memo that was passed around in regards to avoiding the Troll ....... BTW, the UGM was great, sorry you missed it, I think you would of enjoyed meeting all of the folks.

Good point Joe, I only checked in plan view, you are correct, he did not even create a hole for the stairs so he could see in 3D.... I suppose this is what CJ was responding to. My bad, I should of checked for both 2d and 3d.

Curtis, I believe he was wondering why he does not see his stairs that are located on first floor when looking at second floor. If I look at your picture, I still can not see the spiral stairs that are located on first floor when viewing the second floor. I gave him two options, and Joe Carrick gave him a third option, he says none of those options work for him, I do not understand why none of those options do not work for him.

I do not think so, if it is there, why hide it?. If you do not want it, select roof plane and turn off soffit.

It is a soffit

You cannot see it because it is a symbol on first floor. Two options, put another symbol on second floor or use ref sets to show stairs on first floor, second option is my preferred option.

The correct answer.

Use drop box to share files. I use it all the time for EVERY FILE ON MY COMPUTER. I use the MAC and very happy with it. I used PC two years ago, both work very well.

You do not have to wait for book. There is help embedded in program. Hit the F1 key.

No Problem Mick. Hoping to connect with you, maybe next time. I think you and I are seeing it a little differently, maybe we can connect at a different time. If I was missing something, I was thinking you could set me straight.

Hey Mick, if interested, we can do a quick go to meeting to hash this out. Send me your email, I will send invite, we can do a short GTM to see if we agree what we are seeing, and we can spend some time bashing Joe and Glenn. dscotthall@mac.com

I removed front stairs, left stairs on both sides, changed room from balcony to porch and this is what I get... expected behavior.

Can you duplicate this behavior now or is it sporadic?

Thanks for the lesson Richard. No offense intended Ma Cherie.

Yep, that is the reason.

I concur, I can't believe this has not come up before. I cannot get the plus minus sign either.

I think I am 75% efficient. Material lists is a big weakness, I don't trust them so I don't use them so I don't know them. I am using CA until the end. Too much time committed to switch.

Perry's point is if you want you can have single line on floor one and double line on floor 2. It is not a default for all floors. Now what I would like is to be able to show single line on first floor for framing and double line of first floor for floor plan. IOW, I would like single line for beams on framing plan, but I would like double dashed line on floor plan to show dropped, exposed, or ridge beams.........

Mon Cherie is right again, post the plan..... Or don't

I think I do a save a lot..... not sure if this is my issue or CA issue, I will keep an eye out. I think I can prove that cameras are not staying on appropriate layer if I do a layer eye dropper. I think I proved that there are some funny things happening with floors depending on where you select the floor and blah blah blah..... I ain't gunna 'splain it agin, but I think I am losin my mind and my spellin 'bilities wid thes funy stuf goin` on wid CA.

Wow, can't explain it, call from client, window missing in plan... but in the BACK UP ENTIRE PLAN copy of plan file, plan is good, but the other plan, same name, the original that the BACK UP ENTIRE PLAN came from, the window missing. I can't put my finger on it, but be careful...... sometimes things just ain't a stickin.

Larry, I have been bugging my son for a couple years now to demonstrate REVIT to me. He is not an expert yet, but I think he is pretty good, he loves the program, and he is getting better at it. I think I might have to start withholding his allowance until he gives me a demonstration.
