My mistake. I know I've done this recently--memory is fading fast. -
Best Way To Raise/Lower Entire 2 Story Building?
jcaffee replied to HumbleChief's topic in General Q & A
Draw a polyline around the structure you need to change. Select the polyline, then: Edit Area>Edit Area (All Floors). Then: Transform/Replicate>Move>Z Axis. And, follow DSH's advice for maintaining zero. -

Cool tool, Dustin. -
The file you've posted is a backup file and CA gets confused with those.

It's because CA reads material variance on imports. You need to create materials in SketchUp prior to importing into CA. I assigned the colors (materials) in the attached model using SketchUp. That way, when imported into CA, I can apply whatever fabric I choose. Poltrona Frau - Dream B - Armchair.skp

I'd go with the ASUS. The Alienware and ASUS have similar specs, but the ASUS is almost 3lbs lighter.

Who are the top 10 Chief Architect User Experts?
jcaffee replied to DouglasC's topic in General Q & A
What's your basis for "Top"? $$ volume? The number of plans produced? Design awards received? Etc., etc., etc. I would hazard a guess that most designers and architects don't define their aesthetic acumen by the toolset used. So, do you wish to rephrase? Be more specific. -
Which program do people use to create decent site plans?
jcaffee replied to ED-209's topic in General Q & A
No PS. That view is a single light (Sun) at 72dpi 20 passes which takes about 8-10 minutes. The technical landscape/site plan is still achievable in CA. There are a few elements lacking (display styles for plan view, multidirectional gradients, etc.) but CA is still a robust platform for all technical/construction drawings.
