Oh Boy, that is nice for 59 sec., that is nice for 2 hours...... never heard of solid rocks.

Glenn, I just took another section and auto detailed MY NEW INTERIOR FOOTING and is auto detailed correctly.

Yea Glenn, I think I really need your help on this one.

BTW ACADALAN, thanks for the question. I am dealing with something like this right now. In the past, somehow I have dealt with it, but i am not sure if what I was doing was the best method. I think Glenn has the answer, I just need to fully understand the process. This is really nothing new. I believe the folks in the North deal with this all the time, but me being stuck in mono slab land, I am not well versed in the process. Glenn, maybe if you have time, you would not mind doing a skype session with me....... once I get my ducks in a row, I will do a vid with the pluses and minuses of Glenn's Method.

Glenn, I am almost with you. 2 questions for you. I edited your plan by adding an interior wall. Take a cross section and auto detail, note how the footing and chamfer looks, see pic. Not perfect but easily editable. Also take a look at my second pic, how do you get the ROOM SPEC<FLOOR.... "FLOOR SUPPLIED BY THE FOUND"...... is NOT checked but the others are... I cannot get this.

Nope, I would not help you. Bad attitude Bud, there are some pretty good folk here, and I have a feeling you do not appreciate their time.

ain't you a pistol?

Probably Glenn until I can come up with a better solution.

I do not believe there is a perfect solution to this problem. I think there are 3 approaches, Glenn's, Ed's and Mine. All 3 have their pluses and minuses. I think my approach has the fewest number of minuses. Glenn's approach is interesting. Note that on level 1, the floors are not provided by floor below.... thus we have what I call the virtual slab. Here are his downsides: 1. In plan view level zero, the step does not show. 2. In floor overview of level zero we do not see slab 3. To show footings for the divider wall on foundation, we must employ ref sets for the footings. None of these downsides are killers, but they are there Ed's approach employs the use of adding a hybrid wall with an additional layer to get the footing offset. Downsides: 1. Having to use hybrid wall 2. extra lines in elevation of hybrid wall My approach is the simplest. Downside: 1. After cutting a section and auto detailing, the filled slab closed pline must be manually edited...... the positives are 1. You see step in plan view 2. Floor overview at level zero, the slab is visible 3. No extra lines do to the hybrid wall Whatever approach you choose, none of them are perfect.... CA might want to take a look and see if they have a better solution. EDIT: I MAY HAVE TO BACK OFF MY CLAIM THAT MY APPROACH IS BETTER UNTIL I CAN POST A PLAN. CHECK OUT GLENNS PLAN.... REVIEW GLENNS FNDTN SCREEN SHOT..... IN THE FLOOR BOX, HOW DID HE NOT HAVE "FLOOR SUPPLIED...." NOT CHECKED AND THE OTHER TWO BOXES ARE CHECKED. This setting combination has been a mystery to me.

Now I understand what you are looking for. I get it...... however.... there must be a limitation in that.... do you want a different layer for every single item? But I do understand what you are looking for and it could be useful in some situations if we had the flexibility to accomplish what you are asking for.

Of course you will not see a difference if there is no text on layer. It controls text style, if no text, what would it control? There is no text. You will only see a difference if there is text and IF THE TEXT IS STYLE IS CONTROLLED BY LAYER. If the text style is not controlled by layer, it makes no difference what the test style is for that layer because the text IS NOT CONTROLLED BY LAYER. Not sure if that answer sufficed.

Question is not clear.

Post the plan, but if I had to guess, you changed the glass material to siding.... doesn't that make sense? You see the glass material as siding, so somehow you change the material to siding. I must admit, I love newbie questions, I always learn something new from the Newbie questions, so keep posting, just give us more info to help you.

Are you kidding me? What kind of a question is that. Siding pattern in the glass? in the frame? in the sash? I see you are a newbie...... I know.... calling you a newbie is not politically correct.... I was chastised for using this term not too long ago..... you must be a bit more clear when posing a question and when you are clearer, I guarantee you will have your question answered within 10 minutes.........

Typically we party it up on NYE too, but this year is going to be quiet for us. Hope you feel better soon, sorry about you blown party plans, a quiet NYE is not always a bad thing.

Vids here..... not bad vids.... PART 1 http://youtu.be/3NSDVeo8l2g PART 2 http://youtu.be/6gOrTBO-PWE PART 3 http://youtu.be/xo4ThK1fyP4 Happy New Year's to all. 2015 will be a great year.

Thx guys, worked perfectly.

Thx guys, will give it a go

Working with a Buddy, he just bought a new computer, a Lenovo Y50 Laptop, internal graphics card is a Intel ® HD Graphics 4600 with open GL (I ain't a genius with this stuff) He also has a dedicated graphics card.... A Geforce GTX NVIDIA.... he does not know how to activate...... any ideas on what we need to do? thx

LOL, thanks Mr. McC. Unfortunately, I think I can relate to the old codger.

Based on the feedback I have received from CA, I would agree with this.

Yes, I thought you taught me this......... PREFERENCES<APPEARANCE<TEXT.... uncheck CREATE RICH TEXT

Try making the dimension text 0.00000" tall, it all but disappears. I think there is a way to make it invisible, but I forget how

Here is a vid. http://youtu.be/cM0ko9AL8dY Done it a thousand times, so don't waste your time.

The cause is the auto roof returns on the the gable walls. Manually build this eye brows and you should be okay.
