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.

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

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.

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.

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)

...The problem is that you get a mix rather than a complete change.

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!

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.

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

Thanks Shane!

Jon, is that Jello? Looks delicious.

Less Jello-y...

Hi Jon,

 

Where did you find the symbol for the Pontoon boat?

Somewhere in here...

I used...

https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=c281daf29a0774cd9c1966170541036b

and dragged it into position in elevation, then multi copied across the shore line.

Try using solids for bodies of water...

A couple nice tools for creating custom mosaics from Crossville Tile...

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

First, unzip the file.  Do not try to launch the *.plan while viewing within the *.zip.

jon

Charlie, I've seen some of your pics in other threads. I like this presentation style. What are your camera settings to get this?

 

Mike

Looks like "Technical Illustration" to me.

jon

Bump.  I added a couple additional resources.

Check your casing depth, as that determines the lintel depth--especially if you're recessing the opening,

What's your budget?

I guess Belgard has discontinued this line, so use it as generic flagstone.   Supplied with a bump map.
