Rich, I could not get it to work, the curved wall did not merge with straight wall. The only way to do this for me was to break the straight wall at each side of door opening.

CA has also made the comment that sometimes a PNG is preferable to a PDF.

Not sure if you are responding to what I did. If you are, I am still not sure how to do it. Quick Vid?

If Rich Winsor did videos, this is what they may look like: PART 1 http://youtu.be/OURri57Ai8g PART 2 http://youtu.be/yOXyDAODnmQ Solution by Rich Winsor and CA, great job guys.

Never seen it.

What choo talking about Brother Perry? The fix wall connections options, never tried it...... does it work well on circular rooms P.?

If you ever get it resolved please share with the rest of us. Those circular rooms are a bear to deal with.

Don't know specific answer but I use hotkeys for vertical split view (F6) and (F7) for horizontal split view. So yes, I would program the hotkeys if I were you.

Yes, I have seen same issue. Do not know what causes it, very random.

Crust thought of this, put them in drop box. Set it and forget it.

The beauty of the pmolding is it auto gives you both sides of the drywall whereas the poly solid does not

Yep, I've done it that way P. The problem is we can only have one layout open at a time. I need the plan layout open as I edit the plan. This new way I think will work very well. Now if I only knew my way around PAGES, the work app.

Now ain't that a clever solution. I like it. Methods for building barrel arch: -ceiling plane -psolid -2d molding am I forgetting another method?

I get the breaks too. I wonder why they are there. Not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing.

Follow up, PDF Converter Free was free, if I want to convert to other apps, I must upgrade. 40.00, I upgraded.

Thanks for the help guys, but this is what I am doing now. Remember, I am always about 5 years behind everybody else, so this is for those guys who are behind like me. So I get emailed plan check corrections in PDF form (sometimes it is faxed to me and then I save as PDF's, I think, (4 sheets). I save the attachment to job folder. Now I drag that pdf file from folder to PDF CONVERTER FREE that came with mac. It converts to a KEYNOTE file, not sure why it is not a PAGES file. I can now address the comments directly in the plan check correction list and now print that file as a PDF. In fact if there is a note on the list that needs to go on my plans, I suppose I can copy that directly from plan check list and put into my plans. So this is what I do for printing.... I mail the following to my print shop: PDF of plans, structural calculations, title 24 calculations and plan check response lists..... everything. I am officially out of the printing business. When the print shop is done printing, I call courier, for $20.00 the courier takes the plans to my plans runner and she does her thing. At one time I had the courier come by here to pick up calcs then the blueprint shop for the plans, heck, I let the print company do all the printing. I know I know, everybody knows about the PDF converter, but it is new to me.

Super, thanks Randy.

I have a plan file, (not a layout file), it is 8-1/2x11 paper size (I hit the OPTION + F2), I have six levels, 0-ATTIC........ I want to print these 6 "levels" to PDF (8-1/2 x 11 paper size). I want all six levels to be in one pdf file. I know I can print one level at a time to pdf, (I will then have 6 different pdf files), I want one pdf file with all six levels/sheets, Can this be done? Or am I stuck printing each one separately?

I figured there was something like that for the PC. I tried it on my PC and it did not work. Is it simply a TAB key or is it KEY-TAB, and if that is it, where is the KEY key? When I was working on my PC it was great, in fact I liked it more than the mac in the beginning. I forced myself to use the mac and I began liking the mac more. I think it is whatever the user has used the most. They both do a good job.

I too have both and I definitely go for the mac. I think my favorite feature is I can press down the scroll wheel, and all the windows that are open spread out so I can easily choose my next window. Funny thing is I do not have this on home mac and I miss it. I think I should look for the setting for that. Ooops, I have it on the home mac, it's the double tap on magic mouse. I forgot about that.

You are luckier than I.

Ron, I have gone past the point of no return. I'm with MAC for the long haul. As a side note to mac users, every 3 or 4 days my mail app freezes to the point I cannot quit the app, I must do a command/option/escape, I think that is the combo (thanks Taylor), to quit my mail app, once that is done, I can reboot the mac. I think I am stuck with using a computer, this morning I was looking for a number 2 ticonderoga pencil, could not find one in office, started looking for mechanical pencil, (remember those), could not find one, I am not sure if I have had a pencil in my office for the past 5 years.

Called tech support, talked to Taylor, he asked obvious question, "did you try rebooting you nit wit?", "no" replied the nit wit, I rebooted, all is fine, thanks Taylor.

How do I get to my effing file that I was happily working on 2 hours ago?

Some other efing program is now looking at my plan file and I can not open it. Hey CA, what the ef is going on.
