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

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

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

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

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

why not not show it for that room type?

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

I certainly did not delete them when it happened to me

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?

Mine seems fine and I have had it about the same amount of time

haven't you heard, AI will make you breakfast and put the dishes in the dishwasher. and soon every company will have an AI line of enhanced products ... that aren't really AI. It is good at generating content, not so good (yet) at interpreting multiple types of technical data. Ask Chat GPT what is the maximum size of cantilever I can have on my side property line at "your address here" It gives garbage for my address, but ironically it must know that it is because it tells you to consult the "authority"

I just left the slab thinking he had it there for a reason. I did that because he has a window above the door which made me think it was two storeys on the inside, although when I look a little closer, it is probably part of the door. anyway if it is a window and if it was to be placed on the second floor, I wanted him to avoid this possible problem in the future: but his eaves are at the main floor level, so yes, 1 storey room is the solution

a couple things to do: 1. Align all of your 1st storey walls to the wall below using the litlle icon with the down arrow (once the walls are close). use the reference display to check. repeat for second storey 2. Click on the walls, go to the structure tab and click default wall top height this fixes up a lot. I created a room on the second storey for the front entry with open to below and walls set to invisible with short room height I have to go, but here is where it is at but i am on X15 and you are not, so I cannot post the file

create a symbol of the shop and then put it on the main plan

yup, just sent it in this morning

to answer this question, I charge a surcharge for non flat lots. Fiddling with the terrain and the stepped foundation takes time, especially if the customer doesnt like the terrain, or you have to put in a wingwall because its not actually sloped that much. and then if they change the footprint you get to do it all again. Non flat=headache

this would be nice, I do a lot of wall tracing. Albeit I would not consider it AI as I don't see it going to a database of the world to do it in a better way tomorrow when the database changes. I perceive this a purely a software feature that could be built in CA. For instance, it could highlight what it thinks are walls and then lets you select more or less, then a button to create them.

If I had a partnership with another company I would have no issues giving out the file. That being said, if CA could export an encoded CA file, and then the viewer decoded it into memory, that would also work. The problem with the cloud is it would have to RTRT every time the camera moved around, and CA would need to purchase HW to support that

ditto rob, but if they want to play around with a RTRT model, they will need the viewer. You cannot export it to CA's cloud. I dont give customers the nice flowers and trees that Rob does, but his are much prettier

normally I would put in a room below the cant (then set walls to invisible) in this case there is an empty space so not sure. you could do that plus add a ceiling plane at no pitch (to prevent the invisible wall from going straight up to the platform as its room height matches the one on the left), then extend the roof under. but the cant wall wants to build down to match. I tried pulling the wall up, but the rim joist always shows. someone probably has a better idea

right click in the clear area above one of the other tabs. a window should popup , and then you can select it

If you do not already you might want to also give them the CA viewer, and create RTRT cameras. I do rtrt camera all the time now, and once you learn the 4 or 5 settings to change, they make a world of aesthetic difference. Just know that if you do give them the CA viewer, you also have to give them the plan to view, and they could take that plan and use it for themselves

I will quote every job depending on the complexity. As you have the plans this might take as little as 4 hours to recreate for a simple box which has no porch deck or ext detailing. I will typically estimate what I think it will take and double it. That is the fixed price. But again it is in the details. If they want 3d camera shots that takes time.

Running a virtual machine might be an option
