  1. if you are doing the same thing over and over, then you might want to do it by layerset. For instance I show the kitchen layout at 1/2" on a specific layout page, but floor plan at 1/4". You could set your room labels to be by layer, and then use the save plan views to have a different layer set for each save plan view. Then for each layer set change the text style
  2. i will normally put a second wall with no room definition, or break the wall and change the thickness
  3. i have to do that every once in awhile and have not run into that issue. Do you have two walls there or one wall with 2 walls in the definition? regardless, have you tried the wall intersection tool?
  4. yeah I have that issue more with layouts, having to delete pages or move them around. but the section cameras are off to the side to begin with so they dont require any work. Although sometimes I am too lazy to go fetch the right one (by opening the each to find the right one) . ..its all a trade off :o) and half the time I don't remember some of the things I have positioned off to the side on my template.
  5. that does not match the uploaded pdf earlier which shows: are we talking the same thing here?
  6. sorry I cannot view a heic file. What is your proposed cladding for the ADU, and what is the thickness?
  7. something is missing for information. For the ADU, using the measurements on the plan, which look to go to the framing, it is 722 sq ft. his plan says 750. The perimeter is 137 ft, so the ft "missing around the permiter" is 750-722=28 sq ft divided by 137 ft, which is 0.2ft or 2.4" all the way around. maybe that is the cladding and sheathing, but if it is I'm not sure what it would be, you would have to see the rest of the plans
  8. you cant, you need two(or 4 depending on how finicky one is. I and others have put in a suggestion to CA to be able to rotate cameras. I will admit I only have two, and sometimes I will recreate, because I prefer a certain direction. So it is a bit of a "I should update my template" thought in my mind, but then forget to do it For instance my kitchen and bath view has this for kitchens. I then just pick the 2 or 3 (if there is an island) that directionally work. IF I'm lucky my template layout (which is already connected to two of them) works, if not I have to relink the callout to the one that applies: my plot plan view has fences, construction lines which act as property lines so they show up in elevation, Two elevation regions for a typical front to back slope. You can see all the cross sections below I use a thin solid to get a cleaner looking grade line, the other thin solid is there to show max bylaw height. so yeah, a lot of things going on. If i dont need them, I just move them off the page, although the sections are off the page to begin with If I was smarter I suppose I might color the cross sections based on what they are, as the PIA is opening the object to check the name to see what it is. Although I keep the stair section narrower so I know that is the one
  9. ...I have multiple cross sections in my template plan, one for stairs, one for garage, a few for kitchen... so I am not changing the layerset and back clip all the time you may be able to do the same thing with wall elevations, and/or use the "clip to room" feature of a section (not sure if you get the same result as wall elevation)
  10. if its consistently your antivirus, you may wish to exclude it scanning CA directories and see if that helps
  11. what is quite interesting is it says it takes a measurement across the room as well, and can see if it is a cabinet or washer or... so it must be sanity checking its own wall measurements with this across the room measurement. In theory I would think that would improve the whole stitching problem
  12. ironically, their demo picture shows the person measuring the wall between 2 cabinets: but their how it works video says it needs to see the wall corners. never trust marketing!
