I include in total. It is heated area.

Yes, it is an added feature in X9. I think there was a thread earlier that suggested a way to eliminate the shadow.... I like the shadow.

I thought most people spelled out the dot...... here is the real email address... dscotthall@mac.com I hope I do not get pummeled with span, if I do, I am going after Jon Scussel..... lock your doors Jon

I will set it up.

Mark, I missed your on line meeting notice. I would be interested in hearing what you have to say. If you would like, I can host on GTM and I will let you be the presenter. This could be good. I have Friday the 17th 2 pm eastern and 11:00 am PST locked in if you are interested. Let me know what you want to do. If you want to use GTM, then I should be the poster and the guy who coordinates but the show will be all yours.

Yeah, with few exceptions, if someone can't find the time to post the plan, I don't have time to look into it.

trying checking this

Gene,. I get that quite often and I have reported it. To fix I either open a new plan or I use a hot key to open my library and they come back. an annoyance but does not take long to fix.

I have a project that is close to a freeway. I can either provide an acoustical report or build the walls, floor and attic with an STC of 50. Does anybody know where I can get an approved assembly. I need a sloped ceiling assembly, a wall assembly and a deck above assembly. Thanks guys

Listen to Racklamore, post the plan.

I am rarely sticking my neck out when I agree with Glenn....... I agree with Glenn...... house and terrain in one file...... only use symbol for a house if your really know what you are doing (I have used this on only one project, multiple houses on one lot), if you want to move site relative to house, set up anno/layer set with house locked and terrain unlocked..... move terrain relative to house, do not move house relative to terrain.

I suppose I was looking for an example of how you might add a new area and how you might add a different macro/calculation. I was hoping to observe how quickly it could be done. As I stated before..... "Joe, I think it would be beneficial for anyone considering using your program if you can illustrate how easy it would be to modify the formulas. I am talking about adding up the existing areas and getting a total, adding the new areas and getting a total, adding new areas and existing areas together and dividing by the lot area to get the FAR. And adding the first floor areas and dividing by lot area to get the coverage."

Yeah, Dr. K is probably one of the best.

Joe, I do not need to watch it again. I saw it. I was sharing what I would of wanted to see to determine whether the macro would work for me.

What Joe has done is super. Something I have been asking CA to do since 1973. Michael takes a different approach and to date I am using his approach. When I choose a method to use, all I care about is which method is the easiest for me to implement into my plans. I want a method that I can customize. Joe, I think it would be beneficial for anyone considering using your program if you can illustrate how easy it would be to modify the formulas.

Wow, this is great advice. Several years ago there was a local new structural engineer in my area.... he kept coming by and talking to me and soliciting my business. I was happy with the engineer I was using. But this new guy showed how he WOULD MAKE MY JOB EASIER (using internet for exchanging plans and getting plans stamped and signed). I eventually left the engineer I was using and went with this new guy. A great move by me. Point is, meet with the builders in person and show how you can save the time and money. Who is the DESIGNSYKO with such great advice? He is probably a woman.

Did you open plan in x8 and did you see reflection? Did you then save plan and then open in X9 and not see reflection? BTW, open your mirror and change thickness to 11", all okay, now change to 12" thickness..... mirror quality disappears, not earth shattering, but a quirk.

No problems here..... I think it depends on what camera you are using,

Here is my take on the vid....... just following up on what Perry said..... poor vid, but if you keep working and listen to it in the back ground, it may be helpful. PART 1 PART 2

It sounds as if you think Jon is giving you a work around. He is not. That gap that you see is you not building your foundation. That gap is your foundation. If you see a gap it is because you have not built foundation.

This work around does not bother me.... I think in the real world you will have a SCOOP/SHOVEL FOOTING anyway.

I have had 3 users tell me that they use CA because of my videos, and I am sure at least one of those guys have been instrumental in bring several other new users on board (IOW I acted as an ambassador). I have not followed Dan Baughman's stuff, but ChiefTutor was a great resource for me in the early days. I consider David Michael a great ambassador for the program. His vids made tasks look so simple.

I agree.

"Cartesian means of or relating to the French philosopher René Descartes—from his Latinized name Cartesius. It may refer to: Cartesian anxiety, a hope that studying the world will give us unchangeable knowledge of ourselves and the world." hmmmmm, maybe it is.
