My Buddy is happy now. Thanks guys, points all the way around...... and his message to Perry......

Bill is a good guy, I think he is okay.

So, this is where he is now.....

I agree, it is a nice style,

I think he may need to talk to headquarters on Monday.

That may be the way I look now, but due to my new fitness regimen, I will look like an adonis.

You know, I think I agree with you..... at one time they did not double up and now for some reason they do....... or am I thinking of auto update exterior dimensions. Whatever the case, if you auto dimension, they should not double up.

Open the rooms and default the ceiling height. The only proper ceiling height is the ceiling height over stairs since it is the default height.

Or maybe the footing is not aligned with the exterior face.

Yeah sorry Bill, just goofing with you like everybody goofs with us. Have you seen the new picture of my steroid induced torso? Will somebody please give me some negative points for goofing on Bill?

report: in preferences / render/ DBX ...turned off "hardware edge smoothing" = no luck

My buddy builds a house, uses a camera view and there is not light..... the walls are black, see picture. He saves plan, sends it to me, I look at it and the walls are not black, they look as they should. He tries with another OOB plan, same problem. He tries same thing on his second computer, same problem (both computers are using the same CA license). Why is he seeing black walls. It could not be a default setting because I am not seeing problem, I do not think it could be a preference setting because I do not know of a preference setting that would cause this. It is not a plan setting because it also occurs with oob plans. It happens on his two computers, not my computer, does anybody have an idea to the cause? Could it be both of his computers are screwed up? Plan and pics attached. Black wall pic is render, blue wall pic is vector Scott's black render.plan

Bill, I had to give you a negative point for that suggestion..... but I bet if you could, you would of given yourself a negative point.

I am wondering if it would of been faster to manually enter dimensions in lieu of asking the question, and big hugs to DJP....oops, maybe I need some hugs too.

oops, I was not being smart because I did not acknowledge the request, I agree there should be a find and replace text tool, but even more powerful would be adapting the Perry Method.... much more control.

Listen to Perry.... he is the maestro for this..... macros for General notes .... in fact macros for just about every note..... I love Perry's method.......

I think you missed the point. He wants the rafters to frame perpendicular to the roof slope, not parallel. The answer....... build roof, define rafters as spanning 3568' o.c., now put in manual rafters....... if you rebuild framing, they should remain.

Lots of times, I think it has been user error every time.

UGM's are big parties with the pretense of learning something. Joey, all we want to do is to take a 2 night vacation with some on line friends in your cabin, go fishing in your boat and say nasty things about our friends at headquarters. Did you say you were going to go to the UGM this year? They are fun and I always learn a thing or two and I think this one will be the best UGM yet.

Sorry Shane, apples and oranges........ this leads me to believe you are not up to snuff with the mono slab footings......... apples and oranges my friend.....

If you don't get the outside decks on, I ain't coming.......... oh heck, maybe I will come anyway. This could be fun Joey. I hope you are serious about hosting something next year. By the time you put on the Big Bear UGM, X8 may be out and there might be a lot of stuff to share and talk about.

errr, my version of ver 10 did not have it. You must of received a special version.

Of course you would not of used that option in version 2 because it was not available until probably X3 or x4.

So do I.

Thanks Larry, now I understand. Richard, are you okay now?
