  1. this is a garage. notice it does not cut at bottom of door if I delete, it looks like is this normal?
  2. what is the exterior material for the wall type? If you change that it will change the material
  3. without the S kedy and with the S key. s key works rather well 07.09.2023_12.42.58_REC.mp4
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. I dont see this, but my PDFs are linked in the plan file, not embedded in the plan file
  7. 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
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. AMD and not intel would be my guess
  11. $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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. I certainly did not delete them when it happened to me
  22. 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?
  23. Mine seems fine and I have had it about the same amount of time
