No problem, I do not think there is a way to do what you want.

A bit grumpy there Jim. So do you define ceiling height before or after floor is created? Who cares. Same number of clicks.

I always have a separate callout for each window and door. However I do mostly remodels and I want to designate a window as new or existing, thus, I have to manually number each window and door, and at the same time I put a (E) or a (N) designation before each call out.

Good call Joe, thanks for the reminder

Okay, I won't say it.

Thanks P. for the vid. I think it is great that we can see how others work. As a comment, what perry did is he selected the window and then found the icon to open components dvx, the way I get there is to right click the window (no initial click to select window), and a list of icons that can be used with the window pops up and I select the components icon from there. We get to the same place, but using different methods. Thanks again P., love the diversity of methods. BTW, P. is great at his vids, he gets in and gets out, he does not drag it out unlike some other vid makers......

I give up, how? You are talking about a ball I assume.

Nuts Michael, don't blame me, it was Dawn "the internet ladiy's" fault, I was relatively happy too, and now when I see that everybody in the world, even CJSpud who lives in the middle of nowhere, has better numbers than me, I am kind of ticked off. Well, everybody has better numbers than me except for you......

Wow, that sounds so awesome..... Lynn and I love your state, we are going back in 2017....... it's a cruise....... what city are you in....... if we meet up I could bring you some genuine San Diego Sand from the beach........ you can't eat it....... and it's usually from a polluted beach..... but it is genuine San Diego Sand.

Nuts, you ain't far removed from the hinterlands too, I am in the 8th largest city in the USofA and I am getting ripped off...... I am telling you..... things will change on Monday or .. or.... or.... or something will happen.

Yep, I just emailed my personal Time Warner Internet Contact...... Dawn....... I sent her my speeds and I said that we need to talk on Monday or someone will be swimming with the fishes on Tuesday.

Yeah Michael, you are out in the hinterlands. BTW, how is the Salmon this year, I won't forget the Salmon you dropped by my office several years ago, good stuff, thanks again.

Holy Gawdzira Alan, your numbers are far better than mine.

Here they are.......

Holy Kamoly Michael, are you guys using metric units or are you still waiting for something to download from last week?

I was talking with someone last night about my internet speed and she suggested I go to speedtest.net run the test three times and find out what my download speed is. I ran the test three times and I came up with a number of 5.32. Do you guys think that is fast or slow, I do not know. P., was is your download speed using DSL? Last night she said I probably have a 3, she said I probably want a 7, I have a 5.3.......... any thoughts on this?

Thank you Scott Harris for the vid, very nice. It has me thinking........ but not sold on the process....... I think it would be very difficult to draw a two story 2750 sf home with a curved set of stairs and locate on site with exterior fireplaces, pools, sloped banks, trellis's retaining walls etc using room planner ............in 2.5 hours. That is the time it takes for a typical measure for a house of this size including over 200 pictures taken for reference. And time is money. This is a great tool for drawing a room or two, but try putting together a two story house with cantilevers, duct chases etc using a computer on site. This is not to mention all of the side notes like how tall is a raked wall, how tall is the retaining wall, what size is the ridge beam, how high off the floor is the bottom of the ridge beam, how large and at what spacing are the floor joists and rafters. Where are the dropped ceilings, and where are the steps in the slab and what is the height from first floor to second floor. A lot of information needs to be gathered in a limited amount of time. As I think about it, there is a ton of information that can be quickly noted by hand on site that can then be put into a set of plans back at the office. Drawing/sketching as built by hand has got to be quicker. But this is a great tool for the simpler projects....... and I do have an open mind. Thanks again Scott, nice job.

She looked at my specs last night and she says, "wow, I don't even recognize these numbers. You must have a slow system, maybe a one or so" I am supposed to do a speed test today, I just have not got around to it because I have spent that last 2.36 hours trying to watch Scott Harris's video.

Okay, so the Time Warner Cable lady calls me last night and wants to know how my Time Warner Cable service is. I tell her it seems to be a bit slow at times but I get by. And then she starts quizzing me on what I use the Time Warner Cable Cable Service for. I explain to her that I use it for what everybody else uses it for...... you know.... downloading Product information Brochures, sending 19.999 MB Apple PDF's to clients and watching porn. And then this morning I want to watch Scott Harris's ROOM PLANNER VIDEO, and I can't watch more that 2 minutes before I get a buffering issue..... and this video is getting pretty good in spite of the fact that Scott Harris has the starring role. I think I will talk to the Time Warner Lady on Monday and get faster internet service so I can watch Scott Harris's video...... it looks interesting.

Here is a pic of the bad corner, note the finishes do not meet.

Bad wall connection at back right corner..... there should of been an alert to that..... I wonder why there was not an alert.... which version are you using Joe? Yeah, and thanks for the new avatar, you are not as good looking as Perry but then who is?

That would be great Scott.... but the next question is..... will be able to build a DOUBLE SINK VANITY in one cabinet as the picture shows. i.e., two sinks in one base cabinet? This is a very typical configuration.

......Then again maybe not. P's solution works, but another solution is to BREAK THE LOWER WALL AT THE POINT BELOW THE OFFENSIVE WALL, and it will fix with no need to manually adjust wall.

Nice job P., as a side note, I bet if you broke the lower roof at the corner and dragged it 1-1/2" back (width of eave fascia), that may also fix it without manually adjusting the wall..... which I hate to do.

Here it is..... this site should be about the size of what it will be in the end when all houses are placed. The z fighting I see is from the rafters and not from OSB. I ignore this.... it never shows in layout. And when I am reviewing overhead views I always use renders and not vectors so that is never a problem. As a side note, I do not understand why many people use vectors for reviewing overhead views. Renders always look better and in the past they were always quicker than vectors. As another side note, this site is made up of 11 existing homes that we are going to remodel and there are 7 other homes that have been or are being built now. The site is anything but flat. Periodically as I work on the terrain, I will do some videos that you can watch if interested that will show the typical anomalies that show up....... you know...... the stuff you can't explain even though you think you have the terrain built correctly.
