  1. I think you are doing something wrong and I think Eric eluded to it. The stone cannot be part of main layer. If it is part of main layer, it cannot wrap around end. I also aligned the pony walls on main layer and for the one wall that did not quite fix.... I FLIPPED THE WALL... I cannot explain but it fixed it. I used no psolids.Pool House & Pavilion 1Fplan FIXED MAYBE BY DSH 1.plan
  2. I would bet if you polled all the power users who now use the PLAN VIEWS , they will tell you that they take the SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME it takes to create the PLAN VIEWS in older plans. I for one could not imagine going back and not using them. In fact, even if the PLAN VIEWS could be imported and exported, I cannot imagine how they could transfer between plans with each plan file probably having a few unique layers.
  3. I remember what it was. First, try to paint your mirrors with a mirror material... I bet it will not work. It is not so much the material but what you are painting.... IOW, is that MIRROR a psolid or a slab or something else...... what I am saying is there are some solids that will never take a mirror material.... I cannot explain it any better
  4. also, I have run across some mirrors that did not reflect..... I cannot explain why.... post a mirror so somebody can check to see if it is truly a mirror
  5. You are on the right track. Use the fill and then make sure you are using DRAWING REF SET FIRST. The only issue is the walls below will show at openings.
  6. yeah, it is not a line but a circle.
  7. If I had to guess, you probably need to turn the circle into a POLYLINE. A circle probably does not work.
  8. What is the advantage of using the no room def wall in lieu of the wall opening next to door opening method? The base boards are auto. mr 2.plan
  9. Hi Perry, yeah, I wish we could get sloped decks and "ripped" joists
  10. Slope Deck Railing vid, not a bad vid. what was not clear in the vid was the reason for separating the terrain symbol from the rail symbol..... the reason is so you can lower the railing 12" with respect to the deck symbol so the rail posts hung below top of deck.
  11. Yep, just tested, if I hit f12 and it rebuilds.
  12. I am pretty sure that if you hit f12, the studs will disappear at gable end and you will be left with gable end truss.
  13. Here is a good video series for dormers/skkylights Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 https://youtu.be/XIeuFxXelJk
  14. I have not had this issue, nor have I had Mon Ami's issue, but I have experienced the SUN SHADOWS on exterior elevation not updating. I have not noticed it of late, but I would not be surprised if it was still an issue.
  15. Here is one that I just made.... you need x10 to get it. FLOOR SINK.plan
  16. Yeah, always helpful to post some screen shots and post the plan file. Some of the old time helpers are lacking the energy to ferret out what you want so the easier you make it for them, the more they will help.
  17. This is a great problem to solve... so many things to learn. I spent a few minutes and I got the picture below. If I get a chance, I will do a video later today or tomorrow (unless somebody does it first). Lots of lessons to learn.
  18. Don’t spend a dollar to save a dime. Go straight to Premiere. Think long term, the economy will be booming for a while, you will forget the extra cost in 2 months.
  19. in this case it might be best to draw a WHITE LINE over them opening indicator. Still a bit tedious but at least it hides the indicator if the view is updated.
  20. Well, I for one am confused. I opened 6 cameras and they are all there.
  21. uuuuhhhh...... hellllooooo....... I have been asking for that since you were a Pup....... "the offset value"..... a great name for it..... I can't believe I have not been using these story pole dimensions. I am starting to get the hang of them.
  22. Got it, thanks..... I am slowly getting this dialed in........ question.... This may be confusing..... point is I am establishing a pseudo marker elevation.... and I want that to display true m.s.l.......
