wouldn't you have to open every file anyway to actually use the new functions you wish to define in the .rb file?

That is what I do as well. it looks like there are 4 of them in the picture, plus an extra one to flatten out the lower region

good to know, thanks

click on the symbol and click transform replicate and adjust the Z to move down, probably around -15 inch

CA calculated vertical structure depth shows at 15". implying the roof has been moved off the plate. If you manually built the roof and then changed the room height, this could be the cause. If that is the case, select the roof planes and then move the roof in the Z direction using the transform / replicate button

I have added entire directories for other applications when the AV seems to want to go looking at running files. You may wish to try excluding CA's entire exe and dll directory as well

i'm Saving as a PDF w/ the built-in Chief printer @144dpi. I killed CA and restarted after about half an hour. What is unusual compared to normal ( for me) is I have multiple PBR on my layout, and not the "send as image". It's taking a loooong time to print to pdf, > 45min

anyone seen it before, and is there a way to recover? I've been waiting for awhile:

I do perpendicular to property line, and to nearest points to buildings, in order to calculate setback compliance For surveys with single points, I will also dimension two points on the building to the surveyed point, for two kiddy corner survey points. useful for large parcels, where they just want it put "somewhere around that point there". in other words, they are measuring to the point and not to the PL, when they build, they are none too concerned about inches

no, not on FB (unless I have to for marketplace), no tiktok, no chatter, nothing "social"

thanks rene, its the little tidbits like these which makes things more efficient

interesting what they do, it looks like they adjust wall widths to compensate for the inaccuracies of stitching the rooms together. I suppose you got to put it somewhere

i still need some skill in measurement, the software does not look to see the post, had to measure along the beam. tried it from the backside. And this is interesting but then moved to the left and got better results but numbers still do not make sense, looks like 2'10 or maybe 2'11, but to the corner shows 2'11. difference of 1"/0" but looks like there are 2 2x6s there so should be 3" difference. Can people specify door widths using this software? maybe I just need some training One thing for sure, this would be invaluable for future renos, showing all the wiring, posts, plumbing

nice storm sewer drain grates, now that is attention to detail

it seems when I try and widen a road/driveway etc it is always concentric. Is there a way to just widen the road on one side? I tried ALT, X, C, SHIFT went into edit preferences and change to point from concentric no dice. anyone know how? thanks 30.05.2022_10.50.38_REC.mp4

thanks, Are you charged a per scan fee by matterport? if so, how much? Are you now going to redraw in CA off of the floor plan view in the link? Or how does one convert that to an accurate CA plan without having to "measure" each wall in the link 45 min is pretty darrn good IMHO

i tired to get the furnace clearance in 3d ...clearly i need lack some skill

that is an impressive amount of detail. How much are you charged for this 2 storey? How long did it take? I noticed the furnace room flor plan view does not show furnace, HW etc but the walkthrough does. I do a lot of basement suiting where a second furnace needs to be added. locations of existing furnace, HW etc relative to each other and walls are crucial Do you have to take these measurement by hand ro is there a way to measure these clearances?

3) sometimes the forum software gets confused and you have to exit your browser and come back. I've had it happen numerous times where it will not upload anything.

as solver states, create a new layer and open up the water polylines and assign the new layer, make a different layer for drains, then create a layer set for water supply and one fore drain lines

i'd go for more memory. I only really run CA and word/excel, screen recorder, windows stuff on my machine on Win 10 and it is at 14GB. it all adds up

got it, yes this is the simple way, and works well, i see the "3d hole" option now when i place the 2d polyline on the psolid. I think yesterday I had the polyline off to the side and thought it was a two step, select pline then place on psolid type of operation. clearly I was incorrect, and it is a lot simpler to place pline on psolid and then convert polyline->3D solid hole. looking good now:

i have it working pretty good with the 2 psolids and the subtraction, but keep getting the "Serious error". if i move around the psolid i can make it go away..sometimes. the latest one I cannot get to do the subtraction EditBehavior.cpp(800): Error #272000999 "A serious error occurred.

yes thats a problem, and one of the reasons I went to the psolid as i wasn't sure it could be done from the help: To convert a CAD object into one of these 3D objects, select the object and click the Convert Polyline ../../Resources/img/btn/ConvertPolyline.png edit button to open the Convert Polyline dialog except there is no such edit button when I was trying earlier. Now I discovered it is only available if I am not on a CAD Detail.so i copied it to the elevation and I can convert to polyline to a psolid. then the manual indicates: so now I have a psolid for my arch. I noticed solver you drew a hole, which I can as well using the 3D solid feature, but I already have the pline drawn, how can I use the pline to make the hole instead of drawing it by hand again? I also tried converting to a psolid and then placing the psolid on the other psolid and trying the subtract /union. etc. It appears I needed to select the large psolid first and then click on the subtraction icon, and then click on the arched psolid (otherwise it would subtract the other way).. Problem is it would not allow me to click on the arched psolid, it kept selecting the first psolid. I changed the arched psolid to a different thickness and now it works (although I had a couple "encountered a serious error" error a couple times. so after all that. two lessons, convert to psolid in elevation, and change thickness of psolid to allow it to be selected (although my guess is there is another way, I just do not know (there does not appear to be a drawing order available))

the fake facade a few inches this side of the wall, with it cutout with the arch for the windows I've now created a psolid for the entire two floors and a pline arch, but dont know how to create a hole in the psolid with the pline this look
