  1. Great puzzle. I assume the answer would be redefining the origin. If I am not mistaken, the wall will be in front of symbol. IOW, the wall with a fill will hide the symbol that has a fill. A perfect usage of this would be a medicine cabinet. However I do not think this will work for a wall niche. I will await the answer with bated breath.
  2. We keep this info secret for users with less than 20 posts. Seriously though, I just use a double oven to represent an oven with mw above. I never knew there was a oven /mw in library. You know what, it seems to me with x6 they now allow two appliance in a cabinet...... am I correct on this.... I think I tried it once, did not spend much time on it, but was not able to make it work.
  3. Here is a question. Who uses this info? Does anybody use this info? I will say that I do a lot of terrain plans and have never needed this info. Gerry I understand that you want an answer, I bet you do not get one from anybody, and if you do get an answer, I bet there is nobody who will explain to you how to use this info. As much as I love the program, CA is not very good at explaining how to use many different functions within the program.
  4. My answer is.... who the *&*&^ cares.... even if I knew, it would be too complicated to figure out. Sorry Gerry, I really don't get it and apparently you do not get it either and apparently the CA gurus don't get it and even if somebody understood it, how would you use it? I guess the question to you would be why do you care and how would that help you do whatever you do? I suppose my answer would be there are other methods to do whatever you might be trying to do. Sorry, I was not able to actually answer your question, it would be interesting if ANYBODY can answer your question and then if they can explain how that would use this info.
  5. Been thinking about this. Seems like you build it all with 2d molding similar to a handrail. The big problem with both method is going up side of gable end.
  6. Nice job JP. Is that travertine material a seamless image and where did you get it, can I get a copy? Now you need to put in some furnishings to make it pop.u You can post more images by using the MORE REPLY OPTIONS button, I think 5 images max.
  7. Open the logo dvx and check SAVE IN PLAN or when you go to other computer select logo and open dvx and locate the file or save the logo itself in the folder that the plan is in.
  8. Hotel Del, living the good life..... no problems here with imported pdf's being huge...... I am assuming you are referring to a huge VISUAL size and not a HUGE file size .....
  9. You might look into getting "PACKRAT" which is a service offered by drop box that saves all your stuff for eternity.... if I am not mistaken. I have not had to use it yet, but it was relatively inexpensive and I guess it gives me another level of comfort.
  10. Thanks Ron, Right back at you. I went snorkling with my son yesterday at La Jolla Cove. Had a great time. I don't do enough of that.
  11. Dog gone you Jan. How have you been? Let's get together for. Happy hour soon. Monday I will have my people call your people lot set that up.
  12. Nuts Bernie, I thought you had done some vids on this, so I follow the site and it's the vids I did, I did these 4 months ago and you are just finding them. Anyway, thanks for reminding me about these, I probably should review them.
  13. Add 7/16" to the first wall between the brick and concrete
  14. Sorry I did not answer the specific question very well, maybe somebody else with more knowledge will pipe in.
  15. Ha! Thanks P., I thought that is what I read. I can have open risers if I pass the sphere test. It is so important to read and understand the ifs ands or buts.
  16. Let me be clearer. Any word document goes in drop box, any spread sheet document goes into drop box, every CA LAYOUT goes in drop box, every CA PLAN FILE goes into drop box. My libraries do not go into drop box, program files do not go into drop box. Program files do not go into drop box because I ain't smart enough to figure out how to do it. Documents go into drop box because I know how to save a file and I know how to save it in drop box. I hope that is clearer. What is surprising is when I explain to my colleagues what a great system I have saving into drop box they say, "why of course, that is what I do" Again I was late to the party.
  17. I keep all of MY DOCUMENTS on drop box. I do not keep the CA program files on drop box. I no experience keeping user library etc on drop box.
  18. That's what I thought, but I was just reading the code, and it said they were allowed as long as a 4" sphere could not pass thru. I will double check.
  19. Three interesting layers to play with, FLOORS, ROOMS, FOUNDATION......... they are the mystery layers
  20. Back to the original question, it depends on whom is making the decision on whether it is a bedroom or not. Whether it is considered a bedroom will dictate: -Is egress required (building dept.) -is natural light required (building dept.) -is ventilation required (building dept.) -size of septic tank (health dept) -whether a real estate person can call it a bedroom (real estate board) -number of garage spaces (planning dept.) -number of parking spaces for apartment projects (planning dept.) -are smoke alarms required (fire dept.) -FHA loan requirements (FHA dept.) -property taxes (per Lew, did not think of this one) WOW, what an education, thanks guys.
  21. Alan L. Posted a question about why he needs to post pics. I guess you did not read it.
  22. Maybe you don't get it. I have had situations where I have had 10 points very close together and I only need two points. I used the area subtraction tool. Another way is the filet tool. BTW, how does acad do it?
  23. Think about using the UNION,INTERSECT, and SUBTRACT tools to quickly eliminate excess points.
