Me thinks an offsite failover of the phone home process needs implemented. jon

Yes. I re-booted. Clicked the CA icon, and waited. jon

Same here jon aaannnddd... two minutes later; it's back

Aaannnddd... we're both wrong; (from Geoplaner website) ____________________________________ Accuracy of coordinates and heights Accuracy of Google Maps Most of the Google Maps are prepared from Landsat-7 satellite images. Landsat-7 was launched in April 1999 and is an Earth observation satellite of the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The accuracy of the derived Google Maps / Google Earth vector data varies from 0.1m in urban areas to 15m in the Anarctica. The derived Coordinates are rounded by the Geoplaner to a precision of 1m. Accuracy of OpenStreetMap The accuracy of Open Street Maps is partially lower than of Google Maps. Especially OSM country roads and walking trails can have deviations of 10m or more. The reason for this is, that most of the OSM data is recorded by volunteers with their GPS receivers and afterwards uploaded to the OSM database. Depending on their GPS receivers and the reception conditions the accuracy of the recorded tracks varies between 3m and 30m. The accuracy of most OSM city maps, however is significantly higher and is comparable with the accuracy of Google Maps. Elevation accuracy The elevation data is provided by the Google Elevation Service, the raw data for that were originally obtained during the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM): The freely available SRTM data consists of SIR-C data from NASA and X-SAR data of the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The SIR-C data have a height accuracy of about 6m on at a horizontal resolution of about 30m. The X-SAR data should indeed have a higher accuracy up to 1m, but cover only 40% of the earth's surface. Which of these elevation data are actually provided through the Google Elevation API is not known to us. Geoplaner rounds Googles elevation values to a precision of 0.1m or 1ft. This allows to recognise elevation differences between waypoints which lie very close to each other. ______________________________ jon

From WPT to WPT you should be good.(unless the property is on a split satellite path) It has to do with the satellite pass, when it was calibrated, etc., etc., spaceman stuff that I don't get. jon

Altitude is same as Google Earth, 5-6ft. jon

Nope, they reset to 12". I'd prefer to setup spacing prior to selecting an object, or at least something like 900" as a "hard" setting. jon

Does anybody know where to find the default settings for Distribution Paths and Regions? I'm at a loss. Are there any? jon

Unlock all layers and see if you can delete (or open) it. jon

Reset the "Room" wall material to default. Then select individual walls to "paint" your preferred material. Otherwise, you end up w/painted glass. jon

One of the reasons I use OneDrive is the ability to select Batch Update. Files sync when idle or closed, not on change, save or auto save. I use Creative Cloud (get sync errors constantly during auto save in Photoshop), DropBox and Google Drive for other stuff, but not CA. jon

Yep, known issue. There was a fairly lengthy thread awhile back. X8 Beta should coincide with the UGM in September' I'll keep my fingers crossed that all anomalies within CA get fixed in X8. jon

I think this was a known issue. If there is 3" separation, then the cabinet won't clip. However it works fine with 4". (doesn't help with standard depth cabinets though) jon

I'll disagree with this. "Materials" are applied in a Room (Walls) > Room (Wall Covering) > Wall (Int & Ext) > Wall (Wall Covering) > Wall Material Region hierarchy. When I "paint" a room, the underlying wall definitions do not change--they're still drywall (or brick, stone, etc., etc.). This issue is truly hard to grasp. I suggest a nice process chart with visual examples, to understand how both the roller and paint can tools impact textures, walls, rooms, material lists & mental health. CA, please get on this right after you fix stairs. Thanks! jon

Convert the original image to greyscale, the use blurs, unsharp, and sharpen filters to distort and smooth the texture. Convert back to RGB, save and test. Good luck. jon

Photoshop CC 2015 has a good tool for creating bump maps. So yes, I create my own. jon

Thanks Shane!

I used... https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=c281daf29a0774cd9c1966170541036b and dragged it into position in elevation, then multi copied across the shore line. jon

Try using solids for bodies of water... jon

A couple nice tools for creating custom mosaics from Crossville Tile... http://crossvilleinc.com/design-resources/ jon

FYI, Facebook will degrade the image to 1280x??? @72dpi. There's no getting around it. That said, export without labels as a 300dpi *.tif or *.bmp (lossless) then create presentation plans (adding labels) in whatever bitmap editor of your choice (e.g., Photoshop), then save as *.jpg. You will get better, readable results with this method. jon

There's something similar under Arch>Millwork>Wall Panels. I agree with Larry; make a symbol from molding pline. jon
