A wild guess...... I believe I can have several schedules for windows, a schedule for windows on first floor and another schedule for windows on second floor. Using that logic, I wonder if you can put the "plants/plan notes" on the 14th floor and the PLANT on the ground floor. Have not checked, just a guess.

Possible so, I used the foam domed ceiling in my own bathroom..... an off the shelf dome would not work.... the profile etc was to match the tub in the bathroom therefore it had to be custom. Cost about 5000.00. I also worked on a project where we had a dome over a piano in a piano room, again we used the foam that was custom shaped... do not remember the cost of that one.

Great question. I think the way this will be built is a hole is framed. And then the builder will have a FOAM dome that he will mount in there. So...... you need to think about using SOLIDS...... DO NOT USE PSOLIDS. Form a half dome SOLID and put that in a square SOLID (the square solid is bigger), and then subtract the half dome SOLID from the cube SOLID, you will end up with a CUBE that has the dome carved out of it.

Number the doors and windows individually via the labels. Put the door and window schedule in a cad detail and put it where ever you want it... IOW , do not put schedule in plan but put it in a cad detail.

Can you eliminate any outdoor light so I do not see the green grass?

they should no be the same color, something is wrong.

Doubt it.

Never mind, I figured it out. You can see by the pic on the right I have essentially no light on the front door.

There you go, post the plan and you have an answer in about 132.38 seconds.........

Will somebody please teach me how to create a rendering of a night time shot of this plan before The Great Glenn Woodward makes me feel like a dweeb? It seems like with every new release, I need to learn the methods all over again. I have done what I perceive are some great night time (toggle sunlight off) renderings in the past, so I know it is possible. I am now working with X7 and I cannot do it. I have included the plan and 2 renderings. One rendering is daytime , the other night time. If I have no light, wouldn't I see only a black picture? BBB NO LIGHT TEST 1.plan.zip

No data, you need to close the file before uploading

Scott, do you want me to guess some more or do you want to post the plan so you can get a quick answer? Every time I guess at these things, I am wasting everybody's time. Just post the plan please instead of wasting everybodies time.

I feel so stupid pointing this out again, but the question and request has been answered several times already. Here is a pic of auto dimensions dimensioning to the center of the walls. Are we not understanding what you are asking or are you not listening?

It's not a window, it's a pass thru.

Look in the Manuel under dimensions, specifically LOCATE

Do it, maybe by then X8 will be out and we can share war stories.

Next year might be better. But let's not forget.

Joey, you set it up when you are ready. maybe for a few nights one weekend. Absolutely we can chip in $$ for the essentials. This could really be fun. When I was up in Michigan in May, and we hooked up with Jim Lawes, he took us out on his boat on Torch Lake, it was a real treat. That sounds great Joey, I am up for it.

Alan, do you think we can hold the UGM on Joey's boat? Chevy Suburban, isn't that a classic SUV about the size of an M-1 Abrams Tank?

Great idea, hey Joey, can I bring something?

WAIT A MINUTE !!!!!!!!.......... ski party at Joey's place next winter....... it's not Utah, but it is close to home. Hey Joey, are you on the slopes?

If you put on our night vision goggles, the issue is quite clear.

Hey, you might make a good lawyer, all they do it look up precedents. Nice job. Maybe I will hire you if I need a lawyer... god forbid.

I am glad you are not my lawyer. You can read it as many times as you want, but if you bought it on your IPAD, you cannot give a copy away to all of your friends. I think once the builder has bought the plans, he can build it as many times as he wants on THAT LOT for THOSE clients, but he can't build it on different lots for different clients. If I bought the movie "Gone with the Wind" since I paid for it, can I copy it over and over and resell it? Robert, you lose this one.

Nuts, openings could be a problem.
