Hey Jim, that is where we might do our golf trip next May. I understand you guys have some great golf courses out there. Maybe we can get together one evening if it works out.

Hey Todd, I think you should change your avatar. That is the dumbest avatar I have ever seen. Every time I look at one of your posts, I think the question you are asking relates to your avatar. Take a clue from JC and use a picture of yourself (BTW, that is an actual picture of JC, I know you think it is Yoda, but that is what Joe looks like). So come on Todd, please fix your avatar, I will thank you many times over.

post a frickin pic of what you want and I bet somebody will come up with a solution....... and if I had to guess, it would be JC...... unless I beat him to it.

I just tried it with related dimensions. No problem. Bottom line, my files on the mac rarely rarely rarely crash. I have not seen an SEH error since Reagan was president. I would bet the problem lies within your computer....... I would take heed to what the SEH message says, contact support.

I opened plan and moved many walls using the temp dimension tool and had no SEH errors..... I was on my mac. So based on what I found, the plan file is okay on my computer...... if I had to guess, the problem is with your computer and not CA or the plan file.

There you go, JC and I are in agreement. However, the Northerners probably do not agree with this approach. I think the P Man would agree with our approach.

I don't see plan

Yes, basement are always on level 1 for me. Again, I know others disagree, but the advantage I have found is I can add mono slabs on level zero if need be.

No, I never add a foundation, again it is already there....... the foundation LEVEL is already there. I manually create my foundations, I have found it is easier for ME, others do not agree with this method, but I find it works well for me.

No, but if you post the plan, I will check it on my mac. Must first figure out if it is your mac or your file that is causing problem.

Keith, I do not understand your question. I have 4 floors for every house I do whether it is a one story or a three story. Just because the floor/LEVEL is there does not mean you have to use it. I have the extra floors for the very reason you are having problems with adding floors. I do not have to add them, they are already there....... and when I say FLOORS, I should be using the term LEVELS.

I don't know, but I do not have a problem because from day one my projects have 4 floors whether I use them or not. I am never adding floors, they are already there.

My projects are constantly changing and "under construction". So I would have to make a new symbol for every change. And let me tell you, people are finicky these days. Make it 24" bigger, now make it 12" smaller.... move the entire building 36" to the left, now move it 24" to the right (this would effect landscaping) ........you get the drift.

Nice project Jim. But I would of kept everything in one file. Works well either way, whatever floats our boat.

I agree with Glenn on this. Working a a project right now with a detached garage...... I am keeping it in the same file. The big advantage is when it comes to doing overviews, much quicker and simpler. Another advantage is dealing with the landscaping, pools, covered patios that my be linked between house and detached garage. If separate houses on separate lots in one development, then I would have separate files for each lot.

Yeah, you had your base cabs misaligned. There is a very small difference in the alignment of the faces. This is why it is so helpful to post plans to get quick answers.

I must be missing something again. Didn't we give you the answer? And if that answer does not work, why don't you post the plan?

Yep, I bet that is it. Nice call KT.

I must be missing something. I do not see the seam between 2 cabinets that are butted up against one another. Would you mind posting your plan and a pic...... here is what mine looks like

They are a bit of a nuisance.

Red rocks, awesome venue, wish I saw it, of corse I was only 6 years old back then.

It takes me 4 clicks, a chant AND a few choice words...... and then it works perfectly....... most of the time........ if there is a full moon......

Hit F8, the color will come on.

the line style of the ref set is controlled by the ref set. Change the line style via your ref set. Preferences has nothing to do with it. Do you know how to access your ref set?

Post unclear, did you figure it out?
