a "mural"

search the forum here for matterport and search for canvas very different products

looking at the zoom in'd one, I think you are right, but I dont think I have to make the same mistake they did, I'm going to try the tile and make it metallic and see if that is close enough. Below left doesnt look like they pieced it together i do not think it is that bumpy. it just looks like flat metal T&G'd together (or the appearance of T&G)

@Renerabbitt please check your email

thanks! the picture is from a pdf, I was just playing around with materials in CA, trying to replicate it

I'm looking for the holy grail, still have not found it at the end of the day I've found the fastest way is laptop on site and draw it. that way you find out if everything lines up. and if not find out why. Using magicplan or other tools based on interior room dims, will tend to algorithmically widen walls or shorten rooms to make sure the outside is a box

tried changing the scale of the stock vgroove to be wider, but it also then expands the V-groove, and then looks like the backside of standing seam

unfortunately I do not have anything other than "Metal panel". it looks like 8 or 10" wide. (and that is the best image) I looked around and tough to find a vertical metal panel with offsetting lengths

anyone seen anything like this:

@Renerabbitt are you available?

The latter is my experience for Birdsmouth off plate. I use the transform/replicate Z to move the roofs after they have already been built

interesting ...

Never knew about the middle mouse button on an object corner moves that object to snap the corner to somewhere else. might avoid the whole p2p move in some cases

From some of the floor plans I have seen put together by these programs, they look to have a method to deal with the "numbers do not add up" problem. From what I can see, these programs will then make interior walls thicker to ensure the outside perimeter walls are straight. or reduce the size of an interior room. I'm not sure how that would look like in a CA import. I suppose CA could ask "what wall would you like here because the wall width is 7 5/8" in the import file" type of questions. To me its almost like these programs are a great backup resource so one does not have to go back to site, or maybe less chance of going back to site. But I think either way you cut it, someone will need to take crucial measurements at site, and will need to draw or fix up any output it produces. For something like a realtor floor plan, I think it fits the bill, or during construction to see what is in the walls, hole locations, etc. Most houses here have 10 or so rooms, it does not take that long with a laser measuring tool to do it. For the times I have been allowed, I sit their with my laptop in CA and do the plan right there. That is what I have found is the most efficient, if one can do it. but I do like the though of a backup, if I had to go back and check something out

As well, if you draw trusses I believe the section will show the truss

to do this here we use "energy Heel" on the truss

add a ceiling plane at the desired height (10')and keep the room 11' you have a 1' dropped ceiling. interesting, may I ask how come? (Utility chase?)

canadaland in the west. only the eastern canadians have pools

nice looking house!, might need to win the lotto to own that house up here ..and the pool would freeze over

I saw some notes on some commercial plans where they put the note and then a line with a filled circle at the end which pointed to the item to note, and then lined up the note boxes.I thought it looked pretty good. I was playing around with something similar in CA and it worked out alright, but almost have to use no fill to see the lines. I still have these sitting in my elevation on my template plan and then the schedule in the bottom corner

i would recommend the following CA videos located at https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/ as for me these were the areas I kept having issues with when I started Rooms, Floors & Foundations Roofs and inevitably you will need to edit a line. It can be frustrating if you do not know the behaviour, which for the most part is documented in the CAD tool series CAD Tools

interesting, thanks

if i move the dimension far enough away it does not delete the original one, but I'm thinking this behaviour is a bug. sorry audio is NFG today bandicam 2022-09-07 13-45-20-201.mp4 ?

Thanks @robdyck just what I needed. also another tidbit on screwpiles. They do not work in low lying river areas due to river rock underground (kind of tough to screw into gravel or boulders). Experienced screw pile companies will not even come and try in places they have failed before. Best to call them first.

it still works without internet, it gives you something like 15 days to connect
