  1. JPC, open plan and then take a screen shot of the box you checked...... I bet you checked the wrong one....
  2. One final point. With these area poly lines we have been talking about FAR, COVERAGE, IMPERVIOUS AREAS, etc. But do not forget required attic ventilation vent requirements and crawl space ventilation requirements. Take the area of the (3) attics, add them together divide by 150, multiply by 144 to convert to square inches, divide by the area of each vent, stomp you feet 3 times hit enter, and you will get the required number of roof vents. Change the polyline that represents the attic area because your client could only afford a 1500 sf home in lieu of a 4500 sf home, and you get the new number of required attic vents. This can be very powerful stuff that will minimize errors and time on a project, really good stuff.
  3. Here are a couple of vids on Michael's method. Not great vids, Michael also did some vids on his method.If you guys can get through an hour of boredom watching the vids, you will probably find the time spent was well worth it. PART 1 PART 2
  4. I just sent out invites, if you did not get one, let me know....... somehow I think JPC did not get an invite.... I swear, that guy is a mystery to me....... 6 months ago I flew 3500 miles to see him and he dissed me.... but I love him...
  5. come on Newell, how can we open this file? It is not a CA file.

  8. So, I have a client using client viewer........ or should I say he is trying to use it..... here is the scenario. - I sent drop box line for PLAN FILE , he was able to open it, however he does not have access to layer sets, he can turn layers on and off one at a time, but he cannot use my layers sets. Is there a super secret reason why these folks cannot use our layer sets? - So I then sent him a dropbox link for access to a "BACK UP ENTIRE PLAN" OF THE LAYER FILE AND PLAN FILE. He can open file, he can download but he cannot access, see picture below. Does anybody know if there is a way to access this file or is it not possible. Thank guys.
  9. Thanks Joe, I have been so busy I am now only reading every 7nth word.
  10. No problem, but I need your email
  11. Easy question.... Did click stairs go away?
  12. You are in...... we will work on the email situation and fix it........ it will be good to get your feedback
  13. nope, I should probably look into it.
  14. I sent out an email reminder to all of the folks that I think want to join in the workshop this Friday. If you did not get a reminder, let me know and I will include you. We start promptly on time, so if you don't have your ducks in a row and you are not ready at 3:00 rpm pst, you will miss out. I like to respect everybody's time, so please be on time. Rob Littleton, I still need your email if you are interested. You can email it to me at dscotthall@macdotcom ............
  15. errrrrr..... yeah, that worked, thanks.
  16. BUMP, I can't explain it, but it is cumbersome looking for this post.... anybody have an idea how I can get to it quickly without hunting for it? For some reason in the past iteration of this site, I could find posts quite easily. Anyway, trying to keep this at the top so I can find it easily when I need to on Friday to set up the GTM.
  17. You are in Jon, see first post, BTW, you have been spelling your last name wrong, I corrected it for you. You are welcome.
  18. Hey guys, I will hold the GTM for macros on Friday,January 20th at 3:00 pm Pacific Standard Time. I will send out email invites at 2:45 pst. For those of you not versed in the process, answer the email I send you, follow instructions, and you should be able to join meeting in about 5 minutes. Joe will be there, I am not sure about Michael yet.
  19. Hey guys, I am going to try to set up this GTM in the upcoming week. I do not have a commitment from Michael and I am not sure if I will be able to fit within Joe's schedule. If those guys can't make it, I will share with you what I know about these macros. This should be some good stuff for us to discuss. I will probably hold it Friday at 3:00 pm PST or early Saturday 5:00 am PST. I know, an early time on Saturday, I am trying to make it work for several different time zones.
  20. I bet if you converted all poly solids into CONVERT TO SOLID, I think it will work,
  21. Perry and I have been doing it that way for years. You don't need to make wall 1/128", make invisible and also at that wall make footing 8x8. ( shovel footing).
  22. this is a junk post so I can find this post easily....... for some reason, this revamped web site is not as user friendly.
