  1. Double click the dishwasher to open the Fixture Specification dialog after placing the dishwasher in your plan. Select the '3D' tab and adjust the origin offsets to 0". This is only suitable to do when placing the dishwasher as a freestanding object...NOT placed into a cabinet.
  2. @decorators3I'll email you shortly.
  3. Fixing the display of that scenario in all views is possible but time consuming and frankly a PITA. The quickest and most stable fix is to fill that space with a 3d solid.
  4. If you are changing this on a per room basis instead of for the entire floor, then you will also need to move the framing to the next group.
  5. Ah, sorry Larry, I could have included a bit more info! Glad to hear you've already got it figured out, but I'll just add that clicking the 'Define' button opens the Saved Text Style dialog where we can select a different text style or edit the text style in use (or any other text style).
  6. This seems like it would more likely be caused not having any deck framing, but not because of removing the ceiling in a basement room.
  7. Have you created a materials list that is exclusive for the Decks / Walks category? This can be a helpful way to isolate those items for simpler viewing and analysis. I use aluminum railing in my plans and my mat. list gives me the lineal feet of handrail, bottom rail, and a count of balusters and newels. And of course you could start adding components like attachment brackets to the newel posts, but that's almost overdoing it, right?
  8. You should post the plan. Perhaps you're using landings, not actual winder stairs, Winder stairs will show the walk line. As for re-locating it, just subtract 12" from the stair width.
  9. Single click on one roof plane's valley edge. Then press '2'. Then click on the adjacent roof plane's valley edge. roof planes.mp4
  10. Yes, copy / paste-in-place. Then reverse the swing side, set to glass panel, and change the glass material. Adjust label and layer if needed. Adjust jamb / casing / hardware / framing / schedule, etc. if needed.
  11. The simplest settings are using a Vector View technique and then sent to Layout using Plot Lines and using the Edge Line Defaults and Pattern Line Defaults. My own preference is to use Plot Lines and only Pattern Line Defaults as I prefer to control the line weights from the layer set used in the elevation view. In Layout, I then set all the Pattern Lines to a medium-light grey color with a line weight that's about 1/3 as heavy the line weight used for roofs, walls, etc. Further graphical improvements can be made by adding the use of shadows to the elevation view using the Depth Cue (where appropriate) using transparency for glass (not opaque in the Rendering Technique Options for Vector View) turning on color in Layout. Each additional technique takes some additional time and tweaking but adds to the graphic quality.
  12. First I'd suggest building a roof and then checking your camera views again. Everything looks fine on my system, even without a roof. Secondly, try creating a light set to use in that camera view.
