  1. There might be something to overusing copy/paste. I used copy /paste on a very simple mini storage building and that too was very slow.
  2. Some operations worked okay, putting in new doors and windows, but the 3d is painfully slow. I cannot explain why 3d is so slow.
  3. You need to close file before uploading. There is no file attached.
  4. I think they have many chimney tools. You need to know which ones to use for the particular fireplace you need. there are many threads on the subject posting a myriad of methods.
  5. Build another floor and put it up there.
  6. It wasn't the bloom. I think this is the first time I have seen this.
  7. I cannot figure out What is square in ceiling? Can You? Here is link to plan https://www.dropbox.com/sh/yupg2amo2rv93e8/AADAh5pStycFDDcj6Jj7UVWRa?dl=0
  8. I did a video on this about 7 years ago but I can't find it. Mark's first suggestion is the way to do it and you WILL NOT have issues with drawers and doors. use bow front's either positive or negative bows depending on whether you want the cabinet to bow in or bow out. The best way to know what the bow depth is and the cabinet length is, you must get that info from CAD that reflects the shape of cabinet. You would use the CHORD for the length of cabinet and you would use the distance from the middle of the CHORD to the APEX OF THE ARC for the BOW depth. It turned out to be a very easy process once I got the hang of it. i made round islands using this method. The trick is to get the DATA from the CAD that reflects the shape of the cabinet.
  9. Jared, how do you respond to Jon Caffee's statement in regards to advanced features? Would file locking work?
  10. delete the two attic walls on each side of the second floor window
  11. Yea, I get it. So you probably put both roofs on upper level so you can see the walls and headers that support the roof at upper lever and then for the lower roof you probably use ref sets to show the lower floor walls but you probably put a white fill for the upper rooms so you do not see the lower floor walls that are under the second floor. Both methods have their challenges.
  12. This is very true. A downside to this is the framing shows on the floor level the roof plane is on.
  13. You need a different layer set for each view. Apparently you are using the same layer set for all 3 views.
  14. Better yet, put ina 3070 doorway and then to the side put in a 3040 pass thru, I think you will get what you are after.
  15. Got it, uncheck louvered windows.. thx
  16. That is a great question. What is the point of OBJECTS TO INCLUDE if the vent is still included?
  17. That is funny, Thanks for the humor.....
  18. very very nicely done....... down side would be the 54,000 faces.......
  19. Unfortunately if it is free, the help is not always appreciated. I always appreciate the time many of the pros give for free... including the help Michael passes out, he is a true asset to the forum.
  20. Very frustrating..... I should be able to have a cabinet go through a doorway. Two pics, one showing it does not work, the other pic showing it will work..... to make it work,. cut out offending wall, and then paste back in original position.....
  21. I agree, if this was possible, I would use the wall hatch tool.
