@glennw I still must be mising something. attached video is what I am trying . clicking S on arc, clicking on polyline. clikcing start of arc, clicking on polyline. no luck 15.09.2023_17.59.15_REC.mp4

thanks, a search of the help for "start of line" did not yield any useful results for the first two pages of results

how did you get he S to show?

@solver, yes that works, alternatively a couple less steps. select the line, and click close polyline. No need to look for the ends. then change that newly closed line edge to arc and use the red triangle to snap as you show. although it would be nice to just combine the arc and the polyline...like Rene's video, or glenn's thoughts thanks

doesnt look to unless I am missing something i dont see an "S" on the line...tried clicking the S key

ok this works as long as I snap using the red triangle Merci

i figured there muist be a simple way

attached694 Muirfield Cr - fe (5).zip be careful not to select the dimension extension on the bottom if trying to select the pline

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
