  1. Simply reprogram your hot keys to recognize F10. BTW, I did not loose the function..... something maybe awry with your computer, Either quit and reboot and if that does not fix, reprogram your hot key..... should take 12.67 seconds
  2. Are the plants Images? I do not think images will show in vectors.....
  3. Another option would be to build a sloped terrain, build a sidewalk and then turn it into a symbol. The roof plane is probably the best solution. I do not like converting to symbols because the editing is lost..... but not sure if there is much choice..... the roof does not need to be turned into a symbol if there will not be a problem with cutting walls......
  4. Build the garage and define the floor level relative to the house. It's that easy.
  5. I would of bet that this was the solution. Dermot, that is such a mystery layer.... I am not sure what is on that layer. I do not believe the walls are on that layer. Is there a reason for this layer? Is it left over from days gone by? It is rarely an issue, I doubt there are many users who are aware of the layer.

  7. Hey guys, I just sent out invites for the 4:00 Minion Meeting. If you did not get an invite, email me at dscotthall@mac.com. I want to start at 4:00 pm pst sharp because I have been invited to the birthday party of a 2 year old birthday that starts at 6:00 pm and I would hate to miss that.
  8. This is very interesting. I am not sure if you are on X8, but with x8 you can associate the height of certain items with the terrain or the floor,the finished floor, the ceiling, the roof, the absolute height or the total height of Dermot's hairline. When it comes to blocked moldings, what height do you want it tied to? You might want to pass that request on to CA. I wish I could associate the height of moldings to something other than absolute. If an item is associated with the terrain, and you delete the terrain, I assume you might have problems. But then when you rebuild terrain, I assume all should be well with your blocked moldings. This is an example of a very subtle nuance that no matter how CA sets it up, someone will be disappointed.
  9. I think you build one truss and then multiple copy. Suppose you built the first truss, do a back clip cross section, edit truss in elevation to eliminate the eave and then multiple copy.
  10. isn't the soffit height defined by the sub fascia?
  11. Oh Boy, with X8 you can put the roof sheathing as either part of the roof structure or the surface structure. Depending on whether you put the sheathing as part of the roof structure or surface structure could effect what you just said. I know, TMI.
  12. We are on, 4:00 pm Friday here. I will invite all those that were there yesterday. Anybody else who wants to come should email me. Thanks Glenn.
  13. Hey guys, I have not heard from Glenn, maybe we can do it tomorrow if I hear from him. I need to go to the gym now to work off some of my fat. I will keep you posted. There was some pretty good stuff in the beginning of the meeting that was not resolved and maybe with Glenn's help we can get it done.
  14. Yes, use the joist direction arrow, change spacing in arrow, divide different spaces with BEARING WALLS .
  15. I ain't the sharpest pencil in the box, I just figured out that I have not heard from Glenn because it is 5:00 am in the morning in OZ. He has been sleeping the past 6 hours. We can address the last few posts at the meeting (if it happens).
  16. It is, and I do it Perry's way too.
  17. I did not record. I do not plan on doing a synopsis. We may do a follow up today.
  18. My people are talking to Glenn's people about setting up a follow up today at the same time. Glenn is currently holding out for more money, but I am sure we can work something out, so stay tuned.
  19. Hey guys, very sorry but I think there is something wrong at my end. I will sort it out and reschedule. I was prepared to pepper Glenn with 19 quick short issues, it was going to be a good meeting. We will catch up when I get this worked out.
  20. That might be it, I think my credit card number changed. BTW, Glenn is now conduction the meeting as me, and I am watching Glenn on Skyp, meanwhile Chopsaw is getting upset,
