Thanks to all of you that attended. If I get one golden nugget, I figure it was time well spent. I picked up a couple golden nuggets. A special thanks to S.H. and Phillup for attending.

here is the embarrassment plan, see if you can fix the filled windows. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/s8yiieqwqn655hv/AAB4_7VCE_-8pBedIqBp46tLa?dl=0

I just sent out the invites, if you did not get one, email me at dscotthall@mac.com

It seems as if it is the lower wall that is causing the problem because if you change the wall to just about anything else, you can see the wall. It is something specific to that particular wall.... I think. If I use a 6" co crete stem wall, all is okay.

Nice call, I cannot figure it out either.

And the sky is blue.

You also deleted some very short walls.... that is not what he had.

Hey guys & gals, I will be sending out email invites at 3:40 PST. I am sending them out 5 minutes early so JPC can get his act together and join us (love you JPC). Please check in as early as you can to ensure you can join the meeting. Please, if you have examples of any plans you are having issues with, please have them ready. I have 4 things I want to discuss, (maybe 15 minutes), - basement on level 1 or level zero - Mon Cheries walk out basement plan - My own Justice plan - the Perucca Plan and then it will open for anybody else to be the presenter. Hopefully we will stay on topic, dealing with floor elevations and how they effect the model. I have a feeling this could be a good one. We will start promptly at 4:00 pm PST.

Send the city a LINK to your dropbox, no uploading necessary.

I agree with JPC. I build them manually. However, you might try EXPLODING (there is a tool at bottom left corner of screen available when you select the auto dormer) the auto dormer and then play with raising and lowering the roof planes.

Ain't this interesting. We have cable railing and nobody can use them. I experienced the same thing recently. I thought it was me being dense..... geez......

I sent it via email, I will also try to attach it here. mineral surface library for Perry.calibz

Thanks D., that answered the question.

This is the result. I must be doing something wrong... I export from CA layout and then imported back into CA and I have a line weight issue.

Jerry, would the new DWG keep the line weights? Now that I think about it, that may be a problem.

Jerry, you are a genius. That should work.... I think, thanks tons.

Yes, I have tried it and I was unsuccessful. I was hoping I was missing something.

I have a client who would like a DWG or DXF file of my layout with the layout boxes. IOW, I have LAYOUT FILE with different windows that have been sent to layout, is it possible to get a DXF or DWG file of the entire sheet? file:///Users/dscotthallIMACOFFICE/Desktop/Screen%20Shot%202016-08-23%20at%206.15.51%20AM.png

Talking about disappearing materials, when I upgraded, I lost the Owens Corning mineral surfaced material. A material I use for all of my built up roofs. I had to download an older version of their catalog to get it back. CA needs to work on this. We can't losing materials. Maybe CA can keep the material but alert us that it is no longer available.

Here is a question. If I am using a material from a Manufacturer, and if I then update the manufacturer catalog libraries, and that material is no longer available, what happens to any of my plans that is using the material? Does it disappear from my plan?

BTW. here is a vid I did a while back discussing floor elevations. I just watched it again, it might be a little hard to follow, but this vid might show some evidence of whatever issues some guys are experiencing. The thing you need to take note of is by selecting THE SECOND FLOOR (one big room) in one of three different locations, depending on what point in the room I selected to change the floor depth, the floor above would behave differently for all 3 cases. I do not have an explanation for the behavior.

Hey guys, this thing is filling up (I think because JPC is going to grace us with his presence). I have about 6 more slots, I think Glenn said something about sponsoring a $100,000 dollar door prize for the 5th caller...... he may of been kidding...... this might be a pretty good workshop, I sure hope to learn a thing or two. And for you guys that are coming, please bring a plan that is giving you fits. Mon Cherie has already passed a great plan to me that we may begin the discussion with.

I just spoke with CA Super Support (Alex), he had me delete the CULTURED STONE libraries (after I had closed CA) and then he had me reimport.... all is well now... thank you Alex.

I am surprised the GARAGE DOOR WIZARD is no longer available. It was a wonderful little program. I too wish CA would buy it or create their own sub program so we can customize garage doors. The garage door wizard which I have, only works on PC, since I am now on a MAC, it is not very accessible to me. Unfortunately, some of the garage doors from MANUF CATALOGS do not cover all of the options I need. Please CA, work on your own GARAGE DOOR WIZARD, it is a very handy program.
