that gives: if i change that to arc befoe snapping I get: if i snap uisnjg the red square and not the red circle I can get it close: it just seems like I am missing something basic here

so it looks like if I convert to a polyline (i chose 100 increments), and then close each I get: and then I union those two to get the desired: interestingly when it is just an arc, I cant "close polyline", which one would retort, well its not a polyline, but when selecting the arc, it has the "convert polyline" button available...so must be quasi polyline? any easier way to do this? and is 100 a reasonable number?

looks like it has something to do with it being an arc and not a polyline. I converted it to a polyline and then tried to join, no luck

I dont see that option

that changes it to a straight line:

renejust posted a video: but it does not work in my case 15.09.2023_16.47.58_REC.mp4

interesting that a search of those three words doesnt yield any good results. anywhoo, I imported a survey and the property line arc is a different line than the 4 lines around the arc. So when I got to close the polyline I get: it here a way to join the arc to the polyline, so I can get a closed polyline and then get the parcel area? thanks

you may want to post the plan and screenshots of the issue.

thanks, I'll send it in i was hoping that wasnt the answer

this is a garage. notice it does not cut at bottom of door if I delete, it looks like is this normal?

what is the exterior material for the wall type? If you change that it will change the material

without the S kedy and with the S key. s key works rather well 07.09.2023_12.42.58_REC.mp4

thanks, I had this exact problem when trying to annotate elevations with notes last week. I draw a line from the callout to the gable fascia and it tries snapping to something and goes off angle. I could get it there using cntrl key but it was annoying trying to get it to actually be straight and not off slightly. The s key sounds like the much better way

and that option shows up in two places: 1. when you start typing in the search in the top right corner of Q&A 2. after you click search, click on the more search options on the right

I dont see this, but my PDFs are linked in the plan file, not embedded in the plan file

tried that. on a normal walkout that always works, but because this one back corner is higher than the front it looks to be cubic splining the terrain between the two regions making weird things happen at the house wall (I tried changing the terrain intervals, no luck). I even tried to put in more regions, no luck. I'll see if I can post the plan later. In the meantime I'll try your first suggestion. thanks

I have a walkout basement which needs a wing wall, and I cannot get the terrain to be uniformly declining (its on a corner lot where the one rear corner is actually higher that the associated front corner) It there a method to get a wing wall or retaining wall to taper? and/or get a terrain region to start at a specific elevation on one end and a different elevation at the other end(as the retaining wall will follow the terrain) thanks

i calculate a percentage of windows on side property line walls with a couple macros. Because it is "Above grade", I think the only solutions is to draw a polyline (or at least that is what I do). You get the area from the polylline, and then you would need to subtract the windows and doors if you look closely below you can see the blue polyline that I drew

AMD and not intel would be my guess

$2900 CAD for 32GB I9, 4070...but 16" screen. Now that I am at 17" I cant go back they dont really have anything for 17" ..unfortunately. but I must say I have a 15" Lenovo and it is rock solid ...just doesnt have the GPU

so something like: ..manage initialization and setting of variables... i = 0 j = $Array1.length lfound = false while i < j if $Array1[i][0] == owner.schedule_number $Array1[i]= [owner.schedule_number,@customfield] lfound = true end i = i+1 end i=$Array1.length if lfound == false $Array1[i] = [owner.schedule_number, @customfield] end The above assumes there are no duplicate objects with the same schedule number

this is a good price for an HP: HP Omen 17-ck2000ca 17.3" i9-13900HX RTX 4090 32GB 2TB Win 11 | Canada Computers & Electronics $4k CAD I'm kind of hoping that spec gets down to the $3k range by Chirstmas

for $200 more there is 32GB with the 4060 MSI Stealth 15 15.6" OLED i9-13900H RTX 4060 32GB 1TB WIN11Home(Open Box) | Canada Computers & Electronics or the AMD for $1500 MSI Bravo 15 15.6" Ryzen 7 7735HS RTX 4060 32GB 1TB Win 11 | Canada Computers & Electronics

if you have a unique id for the object (such as a schedule number), the label can add the value to an array which has the unique id. so before adding it to the array, you check to see if it is there first. if it is, you update, if not you add. I think joe uses ObjectId as the unique identifier The only downside is when an item is removed, or if the unique ID changes. I have not found a great solution. One is to reset the whole thing and let it repopulate the array

I would agree, I run around 14GB with only CA, Edge (which is a hog), email, zoom and a PDF viewer . everything else is some sort of stock bloat
