  1. All I gotta say is mine is bigger than cool hand luke's
  2. I am not sure what the mystery is. Draw a terrain that is bigger than the two lots so when you do a overview, you see the two roads and the two lots plus they lots next door. If you want to then show the perimeter of each property line, copy the property line and turn it into a terrain curb and paint it red. Here I am showing the setback line but you can to the same with the P.L.
  3. "..... Today the common customer runs across super high quality renders and CGI all the time so they have no clue how difficult it is to produce great quality renders. ......" So true , so true. Back in the day, we rarely provided 3d renderings (too expensive, 400.00/render minimum back in the early '80's). For the last 16 years I have been providing 3d presentations, "'crappy RT's" in the beginning and now standard 3d's with lines on top.... and they are awesome, until compared to the great quality renders that take too much of my time getting the lighting and materials just perfect. Yep, it a whole new ball game. It would be super to get OOB high quality renders.
  4. I do not think you can build this window if you wanted inverted.....
  5. try this but what you will not be able to build is your window inverted (the window ridge pointed down instead of up)
  6. For this reason I do not have custom tool bars.... eventually they will get broken and I would need to reset toolbars, not worth the aggravation.
  7. Required attic ventilation is 1/150 or 1/300 depending on ......
  8. Ain't Larry the smart one. You still have the garage foundation and the other room. I went down to level zero and turned off the ROOF OVER THIS ROOM and you can see what you get.' ' you need to delete the rooms at level zero (or auto build foundations?
  9. I think he would like you to post the PLAN not PDF's If it is too big, use a drop box link, you will have an answer in about 38.2 seconds
  10. Hi Rene, those are some very nice PBR's. I am considering getting some training from you. We did a virtual meeting several years ago, and it seems as if I needed to spend a lot of time tweaking the materials. Is that still the case? Would you be able to help me do the PBR's in a couple of hours and if so, with the info you taught me, would I be able to spend a minimal amount of time tweaking materials to get PBR's similar to yours?
  11. Yep, and he could check the lateral force in case shear panel was required\
  12. Metal braces are used a lot to support overhang countertops, I assume the same can be done for the shelves.
  13. I checked the USE ACTIVE WINDOW SIZE box and I think it now works.... probably my bad......
  14. Hi Dermot, I didn't type in any number, I never have. I have left it as is. It is OOB. Maybe that is the issue, I need to change what the default setting is.
  15. Hi Michael, (num4,num4) is the hot key to export the pic. (for whatever reason, I have never had much luck with the knowledge base button) I never had this issue with the old Mac, I wonder if there is a setting somewhere that defines the number of pixels for the reported pic?
  16. Yes, why is it so big? How do I control the size? This is something I never had an issue with until I got the new Mac. So what is controlling the size? thanks Eric.
  17. Why are my pictures to big to export? I take a camera view andI want to export and this is the message I get does anybody know what is going on? I have been doing this for years (I think) and now with the new Mac I get this.
  18. Hi Shayne, I would love to do a ZOOM meeting soon to compare notes. here is my email dscotthall2@icloud.com
  19. Ryan, is the lack of memory (8gb vs 16 gb) the reason for the machine being slow? Is the reasoning being that CA can only use 8gb, so if anything else is going on, CA will be slower? BTW, The only reason I did not upgrade to the best was it was a special order and I needed the machine ASAP. If you can tell me that the lack of memory is the reason for being sluggish, I will upgrade today. thank you for your input.
  20. Hi Guys, I bought new 27"MAC..... should I exchange for better IMAC. This new IMAC seems to be more sluggish than my 2017 27" IMAC that had all bells & whistles Any thoughts? thanks
  21. Stupid question... How so I get rid of gray back ground? I am in a plan. Typically the entire window has white back ground. This plan has a gray back ground. I thought at one time if I did a COMMAND F2 it would get fixed. Any ideas? This is the only plan looking like this. thanks
  22. I found the issue. There was a piece of drywall from 2 sloped ceiling planes that were not merged very well at the ridge. Once I selected the two ceiling planes and merged all was well. BTW, I could not select the flying drywall.... because.... I do not know why....
