Ok simple fix is repurposes laundry, and stretch line between two poles in back yard.......... Do not forget the wash tub in back yard........... All so saves energy............ and cloths smell fresh unless fire near by....... I just had to add this option, Joe

Javatom, I tried that, I had bad luck with inside arched doorway showing wood in 3D. The floor plan did not have brick wrapped at openings. I'll take another look at it.

I did this with p-solids, and was a pain. How do others do framing wrapped brick/stone columns? How do you get arches? How do you get the cast stone details? Or was the way I did it best? Attached partial plan. 2306_partial_plan.plan

any news on 3Dconnexion Enterprise working in X9 yet? Or just keep using the $100.00 version

version 4.2, long break version 12-x9

Andy, Welcome to 2017, today anyone unemployed is a builder around here. The builders rely on the newest subs to know what they are doing!! Problem is both have no clue, but charge the professionals fee for half A#% work. I just finished a plan for design build - builder. who's architect for the past three years went to work for his daughter and son in-law. His architect was a guy that taught him self chief architect and was good artist....... The builder was a car salesmen and wife is relator.... You got it cost plus 10%.........no reason to stick to budget and or costs down...... With what he did to me on the plans if he is doing that with every sub, he should be,,,,,,,,,, well another thread sorry for soapbox....... Today more detail the better, with all the unknowing builders and subs............ Builder use to know how houses where built and did their jobs, today they are just middlemen good with paper work. And prefers plans that do not show them what they should have done......

Thank you Jonathan Here is link that answered many questions for me....... https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00705/understanding-line-weight-scaling.html

ok going to do some contract work for a friend and he wants better quality. (so do I, but given up in the past) Attached plan and layout. 1 how do you control the shingles and brick hatch to be darker? (want to use layer set line weights) 2 how do you get text darker? (he wants RomanC how ever lighter then the brick so looking at RomanT) 3 is this adobe and kip plotter issue? Thank you in advance RomanT.zip

Thank you found it.

sounds good where is bottom component size setting. I looked and did not see it

Anyone have or know where I can get a 3070 SH with sash split 2/3 top 1/3 bottom. doing some sub contract and designer wants everything his way and not Chiefs way.

bobeee, CA has to export plan to CA cloud 3Dview, then send you link to be able to view the 3D model with 3Dviewer.... If they sent you plan file then you need to use the free CA file viewing software and I am not sure but believe it only works on Mac / Windows computers...... So until you determine what they sent or will send, will determine what free software you need.

Antoine your welcome.. It was driving me nuts as well.....

Antoine The key is to save it to your computer (JPG option) and not the cloud...... then save it to your FB as photo, from your computer file....... FB recognizes it and asks you to set first view....... and it works........

My 2 cents. Jon, I use a Surface Pro 2, I5........open box deal. (I got the pro3 I5, in my pro2 battery type cover, under $700.00 year and half ago.) one of those times in right place at right time. I use a cheap Bluetooth mouse, in the field, and type cover is a must.... I think the pro 4 will be better, just not the best expected results you are looking for.

I all most want to ask my friends what program did I use............. These settings are very close to same image different program....... From the XXXXCAD standards I set up for other designers over the years........... Thank you again, I am sure I asked this before and forgot.......

+1 Ben my Template has most all fill removed. I am working on trying to make a template for seamless transition, for others from the old cad program.......... now if I could get a sink to keep the plumbing color and not the cabinet color,,, I might just get a few more CA users in OK!

Thank you Joey....

Ok I am once again thinking of black background color, how I worked for 27 years. Now reminded that the symbol fills are all white, and the new feature of any color background, not change. Any thoughts / typical CA workaround answer?

This thread "The Mark McAniff Cabinet Workshop" post 17 is the recording........ bring popcorn.......... Mark, you are doing some very neat stuff, and Thank You!

Thank you Joe...... That fixed it till they turn those off.........LOL Thank you for taking the time to look at this in my little area of their sand box.

Lew, I get that, how ever it seems to be a logged issue according to another thread. "top_elevation" I had all ready started this one before connecting the dots of same issue, different use. Thank you

CA this is same issue noted in another topic I started this morning......."Why I hesitate to customize CA using Macros" it appears this macro lost ability for "window top_elevation" and caused my working macro to stop working as well. "top_elevation"

Image 2 from PDF of printed and delivered plan last Friday window label correct. Then then Image 1 how that plan changed thanks to the new release of CA. I have better things to do than go back and fix what was not broke, and now is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Window label macro not working like it did on Monday..... Fingers crossed that my little area of their sand box big enough to get fixed.......before XL Before you ask, I can not send in Macro, it is another sandbox playmate's, I bought and modified..............
