thanks, I've been hoping for some better backgrounds

every window looks through to the backyard...is that how the actual house is designed, or is it a TM glitch?

i find it useful for initially drawing bedrooms and bathrooms. Always know a bathroom must be 4'11

thats why some wait and watch ...let others be on the bleeding edge. eventually a new driver will likely solve a problem you may encounter. For me I have time so I'm happy to be the guinea pig in an effort to make things better quicker

i will use the revision cloud and put a label beside it noting the scope of change. in this case I would put on the cross section and probably note it on the elevation. generally here stacking of walls is a no no without an engineer, unless you are taking off the top plates and sistering or replacing with 9' studs ...but I would assume that is the detail the authority is looking for

i've got a couple laptops and the lenovo thinkpad is rock solid, but mine is 4 years old and does not have the greatest GPU. The new computer I bought last year was a gigabyte Aurus 17". I can say the larger screen size is not only great for CA, but also watching movies. so if you are going to buy a new one next time and you are on the road a lot, you might want to consider the larger screen size

change the sun to follow the camera reduce the backdrop intensity to 500 and have a backdrop change generic sun intensity to 5000 or post the plan

so had this problem again today. Looked at the settings from the above plan and compared to the new plan and everything seemed the same. After spending 45 minutes changing parameters with no success, I redrew the end railing and it just worked. Anyone know what causes this where the post shows in the preview panel,. but not on the 3d, and then redrawing it fixes it?

i believe you are correct as the latest NVIDIA driver came out in dec, and I installed it after I upgraded to win11

True, however, one could build a program that looks exactly like that dialog box, and output the results into a text file, which could then be read by CA. My two cents, you could get pretty close to the same results with Rene's system (or another macro system) for the DETAILS. But the cross section you have shown just doesn't make sense if there are different wall thicknesses, roof pitches, insulation, etc etc @HomeDesign724 if your boss man cannot explain the cross section or it is a "just accept the inconsistencies", then I would suggest telling the boss man to do something different. I for one, do something like below where inputted variables drive the detail(similar to Rene). I used to do a cross section similar to yours but just found it redundant to the details. more effort to flip between pages, but less effort on my part

hmmm, so for your screenshot which shows the porch, you would not show the porch (how would this look?). Or you would show the porch just with the wrong roof pitch, and then another cross section with the right roof pitch on the porch but the wrong roof pitch on the house?

@HomeDesign724 how is the cross section working? you could have two pitches in the same cross section. there is only one pitch in the dialog box

I think I understand the details, but how is the cross section working. you could have two pitches in the same cross section

My guess as well for the details, but what about for the cross section he has? And if his two roofs on the section had different pitches? how would that work? @HomeDesign724 any idea how the cross section works?

this may be a possible reason. CA is changing it under certain conditions

what is dynamic in that cross section? I'm still not understanding what that represents. Is that actually the cross section of the house, and then further adjusted by that dialog box? What would a sunken living room floor look like and how would the one floor height change in the dialog box impact it? i.e. that dialog only has one floor height, what happens to a sunken living room when you change that height? Are all the annotations just put where they are with no user interaction? Impressive if it does

do those details dynamically change size or remove components? For instance, if you specify 2x4 walls or 2x6 walls, does the one detail show a wider stud, or are there two different details? and how does the cross section work. The entry screen shows 8'1 floor heights, but the image show 7'9? The dialog shows 12:12 roof pitch but the cross sections shows 6:12. does the roof pitch CAD line dynamically change pitch? what if the cross section had a sunken room? Are all of those arrows dynamic, in which if you made the basement 10', they would all move up/down with the change in height? For me I have details similar to yours, cathedral, and normal. I then have variables in each where you specify the R value, cladding type, sheathing type, floor size, etc, but the CAD lines are static, only the text changes Watch Rene's video above, he has pointers which is similar to your radio buttons

I would disagree this is the same, CA permitted for years, there was not a no transfer rule. it was their discretion. this makes it defacto policy, not against a rule, because there was no rule prohibiting it

analogies are like statistics I can always find one that goes my way. I will agree with Lew on this one. If a company for years permits transfers, that is a defacto policy by CA, and now they are changing it. Contractually they always had the right to not allow it, but in their own internal policies I would find it hard to believe they did not have a policy/email/directive/internal memo etc which permitted it here's another analogy, for years you left your house, drove down the street and drove around the City. Then one day the city decides to close off your street and your car can never leave the street. and if you do not think this happend, there was a guy in coloardo? something similar happened to his shop. I think he then went postal with a self made armoured vehicle. Or the electric company can go put poles on their right of way on your property, or the gas guy can .... sorry, I'm never a fan of analogies, unless it is an analogy of a company or person's own behaviour/actions

F01 is much better. I will log a ticket as the default should be working you would think they would have a profiled jamb to stop the door when it shuts f01:

Stock doors, I'll try the other thanks

There is light coming through the jamb at left and at top Roof is there. backdrop intensity is 250. I lowered the exposure to 0.3 if i change the door is goes away setting is "sun follows camera" any ideas on how to fix? thanks

I think this is the thing, if you can setup your templates(with schedules, layout boxes, details already there) and a few macros, you can do things very quickly. For me I would find it hard to believe a tool could be much quicker for a run of the mill house to produce plans for construction. It seems the more odd/custom the house is then it takes the time, but for the vast majority of houses that are built on flat or near flat lots, it is pretty darn quick. That of course excludes any rendering, as I would consider rendering "extra" to the house plans/con docs. I would be interested in knowing how @DavidJames can do things quicker in revit for his residential designs

The SSA would be 2 components support and upgrades. Where I've seen this split before it was 4% for support, 16% for R&D, on a 20% subscription. But I like the pay for support model, I rarely use it, mostly to report bugs or lack of documentation
