Here is a vid on the Perry meeting with Avast. Not sure yet if the issue was resolved. No big shakes, probably not watching. http://youtu.be/nsqM9ob6ZOU

You may be correct, I will have to look into that.

Thanks, I will let Brian know.... P., do you have 10 minutes to look at my AVAST Securty, I sent you an email.

So we have been in our house about 12 years. We have done almost everything imaginable to it. No additions but we redid all 3 baths, redid kitchen, new carpet and baseboards, new interior doors, new paint of course, redid front patio with pavers, rebuilt both decks, carpet in the garage, (2 back patios still need new pavers to replace exiting pavers), ..... do you get the idea? I liked the house just as it was but noooooooo... we had to do this other stuff. We have not replaced front door..... so last week we go to Grand Entrances and look at doors....... about 7k installed, I am ready to write a check for my half and she says,, "Honey, I'm not ready, I should be ready to pitch in soon, let's not do it today". Heck, I don't want to have to revisit this, let's do it already and move on..... but it's not my decision so I sulk and say okay. Coming back from a concert last night and she asks, "Honey, when do you think we should get the front door?" It's a trap, I just know it, there is not a right answer, so I say "Babe, when do YOU think we should do it?" "Well Honey, you are the man, this is your decision"..... yeah right, the only decision I have made in the last 19 years was whether to get Maple or Brown Sugar Flavored Medifast Oatmeal. I will keep you posted on when she let's me decide when we get a new front door.

I think Bill did it for you, see post 12.

You would be foolish to ignore this offer.

I have been waiting 19 years to pick the right battle......

Yes, open light dvx and there is a box to check for it not to cast shadows.

Some time in the past 2 weeks I have contracted a digital virus.... or my 'puter has. I am running AVAST SECURITY right now. It may take another 2 hours to finish. Apparently I have 2 infections so far. Once this this gets thru running, I am not sure what I should do. Would somebody mind doing a GOTOMEETING with me and taking a look at my computer and advise me. Hopefully it will take less than 5 minutes and I can record and post to help somebody else out. I think it should be done snooping out the virus by 9:00 am pst. Would anybody be available sometime around then, (I have an online appt. until 9:00 at the latest).

Very interesting, opened in X6 and this is what I see. Something ain't right here folks.

Bill, I downloaded your plan (in X7) and look what I see. I do not see the walls for the bay. I know you do. I wonder why I do not.

Yes, I think that is what I am saying...... or just put a break in the railing, maybe the stair rail and the landing rail will remain unconnected without having to change the width of rail by a minimal amount which is what you are alluding to.

Mick, the railing at the stairs must be different than the one on landing, cannot be continuous, you also must OPEN RAILING DBX<RAIL STYLE and then check FOLLOW STAIRS. It should work. I wish to goodness CA would fix the railing dbx. After 9 years and still have to thumb through all the tabs to find out what I want. Don't you guys just hate the, RAIL STYLE, NEWELS/BALUSTERS, RAILS should all be under one tab....

No, no no, you must be correct with the height first, the breaks will not happen if you move the molding later.

That would be my choice.

Well, that looks pretty weird. Here is a vid on 3d molding polylines. Not a great vid. Nothing new. Don't waste your time unless you do not understand this stuff. http://youtu.be/jG5Waten_PY

Using X7, on a MAC, does not work for me. I suppose that is my point, something is wrong here and even if that "attic space" was a room, the window should not be covered up. Kevin, did you ever hear back from tech support? BTW Glenn, if that wall is defined as non room def, you will lose the ply subfloor in that area which may be required for lateral/shear transfer. Bottom line, something is broken.

Okay, but maybe I want that to be a room (the attic space above the garage doors), with very low ceilings, I should be able to do it.

This is so key, I too have a "TEMPLATE SPIRAL STAIR PLAN" that I create any new stairs from. A big time saver.

Kevin "The Moakster" did a great job with the curved roof, that is what I was thinking but I think he took it a step further, thanks K, if I get a chance I will do a follow up with sound mimicking K's approach but also taking a little bit of a different approach.

Jon Scussel nailed it. Yep, a posted plans gets one an immediate response from the pros as Jon Scussel has just demonstrated. Hey guys, lets all give Jon Scussel a gold star.

Looks good to me as is.

If I had to guess I bet some of the walls are attic walls and somer aren't.... copy those wall into a blank plan and post, somebody will figure it out.

That is interesting, I wonder what the maximum riser height is for a spiral stairs. I think it is higher than your typical stairs.

Kevin, it is the room over the garage that is the problem. select any wall above garage and delete, it fixes window problem... something is off.
