Cool! I'll let her Know. Thanks so much.

I've been helping someone and then they try to draw a dimension line, they get all kind of lines from the cursor. See attachment. I've seen this before years ago but don't remember what the setting was to correct it. She's using a Mac if it makes a difference.

Help in transitioning from trail to full version
tommy1 replied to ChristopherJones's topic in General Q & A
It would be interesting to find out if CA would enable him to do this. If so, then it's really not a "Trial Version" and they should but and exception in their Trial Version Limitation note saying that if you purchased the full version, then your plan could be saved. The limitation note says that this version can not be saved or printed. -
Help in transitioning from trail to full version
tommy1 replied to ChristopherJones's topic in General Q & A
Sorry but I don't understand. If he has the Premier version, why not just start an actual plan and layout? I mean by now, surely he has closed the Trial version and lost it all right? -
Yes, I too have a large library for lintels. I do a lot of historical homes and lintels for different looks.
-
I have a library of brick molding profiles that I use and apply it to the sill profile.

Chad, if you like and have time, I could show you a quick way to show exposed rafters in a couple of minutes. I could show you via Skype or Team Viewer. If interested, I could do it in the morning. I have a long meeting tomorrow afternoon with a client and my engineer. This would only take a few minutes...better than spending time reading. I always feel one on one help in person or on line is great especially when you can watch. Anyway, I'll help if you wish. Oh yea, if interested, call my cell 832-754-6160
-
Yes.
-
Those "dashed lines" are also known as ceiling breaks.
-
I can think of a couple of ways to do this. If you post your plan, someone can help you.
-
If it was an auto built roof, did you check "build roof baseline polyline"? If so, that might or could possibly be your problem why you can't change the pitch. I don't recommend checking that unless you know how to use it.
-
If you would like, I would be happy to do an online meeting and show you how I approach remodels (of course no cost to you). I could probably answer all your questions. If interested, you call call my cell 832-754-6160. I'm available from around 8:30 am to 10:00pm 7 days/week.

I do all my monolithic foundations in cad. Can show and dimension anything I want. I use call outs in plan view and show cad details approved by the engineer.
-
Sorry but I don't trust anything unless I personally field measure. I also have very little faith in surveys.
-
If you can't figure it out, shoot me an email. I've done many pergolas. The way you're showing it isn't really how they're built in the real world. Google pergolas and you'll see typical ways to build them. I would be happy to do an online meeting with you sometime. I do all of mine completely manual.
-
Larry, I would be happy to talk with you. I'm probably one of the best people in Houston to talk to. Been doing remodels for permits for years. I'm kinda busy right now but will be happy to talk to you. Best way to reach me is by email or cell. 832-754-6160. I have a very reasonable engineer for remodels in his cost.
-
Sorry, I guess I misunderstood.
-
I have typical strapping details for one and two story walls for Houston that I use that were provided by the Engineer. It has to be signed off by an engineer.
-
That's how I do it. Much easier.
-
In Houston, TX, we have to show all plan views and elevations to scale. Site plan should be to scale too (engineering scale). Details do not have to be to scale. Kirby, if you like, I could assist you online via Skype or Team Viewer. If so, then send me an email at my address below and please provide a contact phone number. I do have X5.
-
Just send your plan to a layout at a scale if desire and then print to a pdf. Chose your paper size for the layout. Very easy operation.
-
Ricky, if you would like to see how I do remodels, I would be happy to show you by doing an online meeting. I believe my way is the easiest and safest and not hard. If interested, email me at my email address below or call my cell 832-754-6160.
-
Mick looks like he gave you the right answer. Check your settings.
-
His problem is fixed. Did a meeting with him.
-
If you have gmail, just attach the plan file (.plan file). You can also zip the plan file and send it but be sure you have Chief closed when you zip it. You could post a zip file here on the forum too. If you would like to do an online meeting (for free), then call me (832-754-6160) or email me at my email shown in my signature below.
