Check out the Eric the solvers room divider videos.

Ask and you will receive The Lanai Vid http://youtu.be/IS8RIO2WfHs not bad.....

Right click on the view in layout, LAYOUT BOX LAYERS, and then select the layer you want to use.

Although Eric's method is relatively clever, this is not the way to do it...... too limiting. The best way to do this would be to put a 6' high opening on bottom and separate arches on top. Take a look at the pic, my method is on far right, Eric's is on far left, the old stand my method is in the middle. In fact using Eric's method, the plan view is incorrect...... I know there is a few options to this..... but I do not think this is the best method. Eventually I hope to do a vid on the usage of the ROOM DIVIDER WALL when I figure out some of the uses......

The big advantage of this is you can DEFINE THE WIDTH OF THE WALL THAT SITS ON COLUMN, i.e. the distance between the springs of arches. Yeah, a pretty neat option.

Lew did not answer the question.

Yes there is. The long answer is in the SAM VIDEOS. You are relatively new, I would recommend you watch the MRLS, THE SAM and the ANNO SET VIDEOS @ chief tutor.com at this location..... http://www.chieftutor.com/scotthall/ I strongly believe these are some very good videos that will give you a good foundation to put together a set of plans. I have also done some follow up videos on these subjects on the old forum, (use key words "VIDEOS BY DSH" and on YOUTUBE.

This my friend is very clever. I probably do not use the room divider wall enough..... especially in conjunction with a pony wall.... very very nice...... I must think of more uses of the room divider wall. BTW what Eric did not mention is the arch opening can only be as tall as the opening..... IOW, the arch opening cannot extend into the divider wall.

I use the cabinet label to call out the sink, not perfect, but that is what I do.

i think you will find that the majority of power users have one template for the plan and layout.

Have you thought of having one template plan, open and save that, copy a base, upper and full cab type from a cabinet "warehouse" plan into your new plan and SETTING THAT PARTICULAR STYLE CABINET as the default cabinet style with one fell swoop via the SET AS DEFAULT TOOL?

I don't think so.

Yes, and you can add the framing to support drywall in finish ceiling

And I might consider using ceiling finish to get the soffit.

I bet he could but his method is quicker.

No

Wow, how did you figure that out?

I put nothing in layout except maybe revision clouds. All notes details etc are sent to layout from plan files.

It has been moved to the Chatroom, thanks.

....... My gosh Jon, it would be an honor to have you join a WORKSHOP to share your thoughts on post production. I truly appreciate your time on this Jon. I will plan on setting up a Saturday Workshop on a Saturday in January at 6:00 am PST. Since you will be the host of honor and if this time does not work for you, please give me another time that might work better for you. I think there will be a lot of other users who would really appreciate some of your expertise. Thanks so much for your offer.

I did a vid on method awhile back. Involves putting in doorway between house and bay

Listen to P.

Promise, will not host unless you are around....... hey where are you going? Mexico? If you stop off in San Diego let me know and I will show you around.

I bet you have either painted the walls or applied a finish to the walls...... but just guessing

Your wife and mine come from the same bolt of cloth. I can't empty the dishwasher without Lynn coming over and saying, "honey, let me empty the dishwasher, I don't want you breaking a glass and cutting your fingers".
