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.

Yeah, I went back to original vid and if I zoomed out in my browser I can see it all..... weird that both P. and I were having issues and it may of been our problem.

P., try zooming out on your browser.

Yes, better, but I had to ZOOM OUT, seems like bad on me. Probably my problem and I can fix at my end.

Agree, Vista Larry needs to work on the sizing.

EDIT OBJECT PARTS is turned off

Love the vid Vista Larry. Nice job. Like to see your usage of hotkeys..... I noticed you set up some custom hot keys that work for you. Hope to see more vids.

Try using moldings for the rails.

Yes you did.

I do not think anybody is addressing what Mr. McCrump is referring to. He is asking whether he should select text via LAYER, CUSTOM or the other option. To answer Mr. McCrump's question, I say use LAYER as the default choice..... and then go from there depending on the situation.

Square fixed glass window. Then arch it . Then reflect.......all input in dbx,

Perry, great demonstration. I think that is what many people are asking for. I almost posted a response responding to something like this yesterday but changed my mind. Since you brought it up, I will now put in my 2 cents. I agree this is a nice feature, select n object and ONE dvx opens up with all the attributes quickly editable....... But, But, But, I do not want to always want to edit what I just selected, I might want to move it, so I don't want to give up screen space for a dvx I will not use..... so my solution is select object, AND THEN hit quick key to open said dbx or I can move item selected. Point is, a quick key to open the FULL ON DBX, not much time lost with using that quick key, and I agree with you and others..... that full on dbx is kind of neato.

Dermot called it.

Alan did a very good job of detailing the method. The problem with this is the elevation is not live. So the elevation needs to be resent to layout after any editing... a PITA. That is why many of us are advocating for auto u updatable elevations.... and it would be great if shadows were an option too. REVIT does it, why can't CA? I know there is a reason, but let's get past that and just do it.

Oh boy, not sure if I agree with this, I do want every layer in every layer set and I think CA is suppose to add every new layer to every layer set.

That is a great idea. I think JPC would be a wonderful asset to the team. No ego with JPC, he calls it like he sees it.
