Here is a good vid by CA dealing with finding materials on line. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/10145/creating-custom-tile-materials.html However the solution for the PATTERN can be tedious. If anybody knows of a vid explaining how to make a custom pattern, that would be super.

While we are at it, does anybody have the pattern in the pic? Notice the 33% offset.

I think Perry's method works good. have you ever blocked a post on a footing? Try it. I bet it disappears in a 3D view.. that goes back 12 years, I don't know if they ever fixed it.

Yep. Almost a useless feature for me. In fact I have never used it.

Great elevations, I think the only thing I would change is to take off the door and window labels. One of labels is completely covering up a window..... so you move it.... it takes time.... change size of window.... you probably have to move the label again.... I say let the contractor refer to floor plan if he wants to know the window call out...... but you are right, the color and the texture and your shadows make that a very understandable elevation.

I can't wait until the cities only accept DIGITAL PRINTS. Then we have greater flexibility with the format we use. Because of the printing process, we cannot use color or the render views which are the formats I prefer. Color printing for rendering AND PLAN VIEWS will make reviewing the plans so much easier for plan reviewers. I have a feeling the print companies will have a very tough time staying in business. I was talking to the Manager of my health club and he told me because of the digital age, he is USING MORE PAPER. I think that is because his heirarchy has not adapted to the digital age.

You have a slab under the living room. change to raised floor assembly and you should get what you want.

Great info Graham.

I gave him a few points.....

Ain't that a pistol, I can't find the 2 GANG, but I did find a 3 GANG, and then I created a 7 GANG by putting 7 switches close together.

Put in two switches side by side and they become one.

If you build the roof correctly, the rafters will auto build if you have that function turned on.

Cheryl, Thanks for sharing.

terrain breaks can be unpredictable at times. I do not think there is one answer that fits all situations. There seem to be different solutions for different scenarios. The advice I can give is to post a plan with the problem you are having and somebody may have a solution for your particular situation that helps us all.

Yeah, a very very very very thin layer over the studs (maybe .00003" thick) that is black..... that should be the answer, thanks Michael.

But then, don't you see the STUDS (which are not black)?

I think I understand now, the problem is the "reglet" is not recessed but flush with surface of wall.

Michael, would you mind posting a plan using your technique. I have not been able to make it work. Thanks.

That is the problem, the roof with the skylights is not square. Hey Curt, other than that issue, nice job..... I am not sure if I would of done it that way..... but next time I will.... thanks for the education....

What is the lesson? Post the plan and you will get some great help from some great guys, and the Chopster is always very helpful. Thanks Chop.

Yep, Michael is one of the best. but of course my client would say... "let's change that 4020 to a 5016 "........ and I would need to start the process over again..... point is, it would be great if CA fixed this lapse in their program.

Why don't you post the plan? You have been around enough to know that is what you need to do.

DJP is a Texan, but we do not hold that against him, he is a good guy.

I have a feeling that is the way to go,

thanks for input
