  1. Here is a picture OBO, and it has rough ceiling, I think I had deleted my rough ceiling and I do not know how to get it back.
  2. In 1 file the auto story dimensions to finish ceiling and in the other to rough ceiling. How do I add the one option I am missing to a file.
  3. select wall, go to structure tab and select wall goes down through floor..
  4. Heck fire Bud, I just grab them and throw them in the trash. I did do a quick search and it seems like what I do works... but you might want to read this: https://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/mac-software/uninstall-software-apps-mac-3463412/ oops, Ashley Lynn is not a Bud but a Buddette.
  5. Nuts, why didn't I read "get info"? You are the best, thanks Glenn.
  6. Thanks Glenn but I must be missing something. I do not see the "change all" option. thanks
  7. No chief programs are open. I go to a folder and double click on a file (that is an X-10 file) and X-9 opens. Of course I can not see the file that I want to see because it is an X10 file. BTW, when I say X-10 file, it was initially an X-9 file and has since been saved as an X-10 file. How do I get CA to always use X10? thx
  8. We use a lot of trusses so many interior walls are non-bearing, those are the walls that I would rather not have double jets under.
  9. I wish we could control this. I have sent this request in the past. It it seems like sometimes they get doubled up and sometimes not. i am referring to non-bearing partitions.
  10. I just did a quick vid on it. I thought it was so ground breaking 10 years ago, I am sort of embarrassed now at how silly it seems. Hopefully it helps someone out.... It's been awhile, let's see if I remember how to do it. Here is the link It is still cooking.... I guess.... should bread by 11:50?
  11. Perry, I figured you would remember. I remember that vid...... it made things so much simpler..... one layout file for everything..... I doubt I could find it .......
  12. Good idea, this would work quicker than the option DJP suggests. But until then, use DJP suggestion.
  13. You might want to contract Joe Carrick. He is an Architect based in San Marcos.
  14. JPC probably knows the pluses and minuses of the different programs as well as anybody. The fact you are having to ask the question leads me to believe that BIM is not a priority for you. My bet is CA is your best choice.
  15. I agree with Glenn, I occasionally see this and it is usually caused by an attic wall at the top level. Delete the stray wall and all is well.
  16. Great Stuff Joe, thank you very much. BTW, I had to again drag and drop into a X10 plan. If I tried to open it from by download folder, the computer opened X9. Weird behavior, I am on a mac
  17. I do not think it is good to use one letter for hot key. that letter D may be used for a multiple hot key.... D+H, think about it, if D is tied to a multiple key, the solo D will never work. I would always use at least two keys for a hot key. BTW, I have a hot key assigned to both of those function in post #1 that would of removed the "hitchhikers".
  18. I agree with Glenn, that is the way I do it, rarely rarely rarely use a terrain wall, I use a terrain break with a wall.
  19. I handle this by changing the height of wall in elevation. The new height will stick.
  20. Because there is usually a gap between the fence and the post. Think about a wrought iron gate, no casing, there is a gap between gate and fence.
