No window headers in X8.

I might be interested, because I have a client that would like to me to share x10 files and I don't have it, but....I can upgrade my X8 to X11 for $1695, $2000 seems high for a resale w/o SSA. I could do half that.

On our side of the Rockies we still build with common sense

I work exclusively from Dropbox. And I also use Chief Exclusively for ConDocs.

It's technical illustration that has has the background manipulated to match the green theme. That's my take.

I'm confused. What in the world is all of this about? I have been using Chief for close to 12 years (?!?) and have ALWAYS gone to Best Buy and grabbed a new HP off the shelf and add a GForce card if needed. What in the world is all this extensive testing for? I have never...I repeat NEVER had an issue with my OTC HP computers. Does any of this apply to average small office designing homes and creating ConDocs?

All of those are great ideas, but honestly....just a note and move on.

With all due respect to Mick and the others that are tossing out ideas, simply turn this job down unless you own a copy of AutoCAD that you can do this in. The file that you have there is "Paper Space" it looks like, not the plan file. There are a couple different ways you can manipulate that file, none are quick, and none are easy. If you take this job you will end up paying the client.

Yes. Export the model as a 3DS file and import into sketchup

In other words...."I am going to question everything you say or do with someone less qualified to give their 2 cents as well." No thanks. Been there, lived that.

Thanks!

Already checked 3D warehouse. Anyone have a Simpson LCC 3D symbol?

If it's a pony wall then select to have to lower section of the pony wall shown in plan view. If it's not a pony wall then look to the floor above to ensure that the door isn't in fact cutting the foundation for some reason.

I love that area...maybe a move??!! Good luck in your search!

Were you using a roof truss or a floor truss?

Same answer. Have to update the sheet numbers manually.

No. You have to add those manually.

No luck with Google Drive and Chief. Been with DropBox for....well, forever it feels like.

The pre-cut studs threw me at first, but just briefly. I actually find that they make good sense. What specifically is throwing you?

Not a CAD fill for the stone. It's a pony wall I simply SHIFT>SELECT and delete the below grade portion of the stone I don't want to see.

Just add a CAD line or use the edit tools and pull on of the dark lines down from above.

Or as I said above...select the roof plane and lock the pitch. Then all you have to do is add the additional height you want. For instance 12", you would type +12 in the ridge height box, or baseline height box and move on.

Make the foundation layer line type dashed. Never been a big fan of the CAD mask when you can control this with layers.

Simply raise the height of the ridge or the plate height while checking the box to lock the pitch.

Drag and drop. Blocks can be imported as well from the edit menu, but ordinarily I simply grab what I want and drag and drop.
