Thanks Eric, give it a go now.

Take a look at this. plan. I would like the 1-1/2" jamb for the garage door to go down past stem wall to top of slab. In plan view it looks correct, the jamb is outside of stem wall. in 3D the jamb stops at top of stem wall, incorrect, it should go down to top of slab. Also the curb opening is wrong. It should be 9'-3", it scales 9'-3" but it dimensions 9'-0" If I am not mistaken, this worked correctly in previous versions. any thoughts before I report this to headquarters? bbbb why is curb cut dimension wrong.plan

Glenn, I guess I never realized a sidewalk could cut curbs. So what is the difference between a terrain path and a driveway? Is the only difference the layer they reside on?

the easiest way is to go tao referenced plan files, browse and change the one you do not want to use to the plan file you are using or you can delete the layout boxes.

I think only a driveway cuts a curb. I can't believe you cuts the curb with a sidewalk.

I think you are talking about putting details in a separate plan. I have been using that since the beginning of time and it works well. You also talked about putting them on different floors/levels..... I did that for a short time.... I found it quicker to keep them on the same level.... the advantage of different levels is is quicker to update when you zoom in and out. Since I use the SAM, the detail plan is already in layout and there are already a bunch of the standard details in the plan that I can shuffle around.

good thread Larry.

Ahh, got it.... thus the reason you were using square cut eaves vs plumb cut eaves.... thanks, nice tip.

Did you try using a FRIEZE? Admittedly I have not had great success using a FRIEZE.

Has anybody played with the key notes in 3d? Any thoughts on this?

WOW, I just found this yesterday.... no wonder I had not seen it sooner. Nice job CA

Yeah! Now you're talking! I will check out Larry's vid. Hmmmmm, does that mean the demo plan is the ref set used for the proposed if I want to see how new relates to existing. I have talked to a few heavy hitters and we all agree this is probably the best release we have seen. A lot of little paper cuts have healed.

Unless I am missing something, I agree with Larry. Multiple ref sets are great if using one plan file whilst reffing multiple LEVELS, but trying to use multiple PLAN FILES seems to be a “trick” that is more trouble than it is worth...except for a few limited scenarios..... different strokes....

How ironic, we in Cali complain about the hassles we go through to secure a permit, but Joey is spot on..... the hassles create income for us.

I thought that was marketing 101. Maybe times have changed. Never mind, my bad.

If they were super smart, they would charge $499.99. That sounds a lot less than $500.00..... but I think you knew that.

I always use the plan sets now, the anno set is there in the background by default... they have been there since 1837 and I am too lazy to even think about changing them.

What I have done when converting to plan sets is to trigger my anno sets and then create the new plan set and then never touch the anno set again. I know Michael understand this program as well as anyone and if he says the plan view set is essentially a anno set and more, I believe him..... however, an argument for maintaining my anno sets is they can function as a backup. If I inadvertantly change a plan view set by changing the cad layer, I can always fall back on the anno set to recreate the correct plan set.

It has not been a problem for me.

You are looking for help, just post the plan for him to make it easy for him to help you. Post a small plan, make it easy on yourself.

I thought they made an announcement that we could sign up for beta if interested.

Great job Dave.... as usual

I do not think it was I.
