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

post the CSV you can view it in a hex editor to see if there is anything funny. However if you just open up a new text file in notepad and type in the chracters with commas, and then save it, and then see if you still get the error, To check your code, you could just read the first character in the newly created file from above, and see if it is screwed up. Not sure how you are reading the file, It is odd it works for the second line but not the first. I would also try adding a line break in the CSV file on the first line to see if that makes a difference. I thought it might be the character encoding set, but that doesnt really make sense if the second line is interpreted correctly. It's almost like the CA rich text box processing of the returned macro result, is thinking it is part of the rich text encoding. The other thing you could do to check that is to print out the first line's buffer again, after the good second line is printed

i'd throw in a \n at the beginning of the buffer variable you are writing out, to see if that makes a difference as it looks to only occur on the first line

in what file format? and one file per image? I put my PBR cameras on layout, and fit to the sheet, and update on demand. I suppose one could use a no line layout template, and perhaps a jpg or other image print driver to then create the image files by printing every page in the template at once ...but I havent tried it

why not not show it for that room type?

i assume he cant get most of that(if any) from the live view, so by going to CAD, he ensures the items which vary by dimension are the correct dimension related to other things. A better man than I. I leave my CAD details generic (I don't change the size of the lumber) and instead change the label, thereby minimizing the number of CAD details, but it also means my CAD details are not dimensionally correct related to each component, and they are NTS. That is the tradeoff which is acceptable for myself

I certainly did not delete them when it happened to me

i see there are dim lines, is that a live view with some add ons (flashing and everything outside the ribboard, Simpson, et al)? CAD Detail from view?

Mine seems fine and I have had it about the same amount of time

haven't you heard, AI will make you breakfast and put the dishes in the dishwasher. and soon every company will have an AI line of enhanced products ... that aren't really AI. It is good at generating content, not so good (yet) at interpreting multiple types of technical data. Ask Chat GPT what is the maximum size of cantilever I can have on my side property line at "your address here" It gives garbage for my address, but ironically it must know that it is because it tells you to consult the "authority"

I just left the slab thinking he had it there for a reason. I did that because he has a window above the door which made me think it was two storeys on the inside, although when I look a little closer, it is probably part of the door. anyway if it is a window and if it was to be placed on the second floor, I wanted him to avoid this possible problem in the future: but his eaves are at the main floor level, so yes, 1 storey room is the solution

a couple things to do: 1. Align all of your 1st storey walls to the wall below using the litlle icon with the down arrow (once the walls are close). use the reference display to check. repeat for second storey 2. Click on the walls, go to the structure tab and click default wall top height this fixes up a lot. I created a room on the second storey for the front entry with open to below and walls set to invisible with short room height I have to go, but here is where it is at but i am on X15 and you are not, so I cannot post the file

create a symbol of the shop and then put it on the main plan
