  1. If you like keeping the model at a random location on the grid, you may need to use Distance Rounding instead of Grid Rounding.
  2. I believe it has to do with grid rounding and the fact that the model of those walls are very randomly located on the grid. Move all 4 walls so that the bottom left corner of the exterior framing line is located exactly at 0,0 on the grid and see what happens.
  3. If you turn it off while in a 3d view, you'll just need to press F12 to regenerate the model.
  4. You can turn off the layer for patterns altogether. Patterns, 3d Views
  5. Yup, impressive! I'm envious of your clientele! Justin, you seem to get a lot of customers with good taste and healthy budgets! That's gotta make the work life more satisfying.
  6. @BosHomes @GeneDavis Thanks for answering my question about those window labels. Learned something today!
  7. Your window labels are unique...3365 means 33" x 65"?? Is that normal in your region? 3365 should mean 3'-3" x 6'-5".
  8. Also, ensure the roof butts up to the adjacent wall cladding. To do this, simply drag the roof plane edge up to the wall framing. Auto snapping will take care of the rest.
  9. delete the highlighted roof plane. copy the right side roof plane and reflect about ridge. paint wall material.
  10. Or one could simply use the free online version. https://www.sketchup.com/try-sketchup#for-personal
  11. @marlem2000For symbols that are downloaded from 3d Warehouse and then need to be edited, it can be helpful to edit them in Sketchup and then save, download and import that new edited version of the symbol.
  12. @Kbird1Thanks for the reply. After 2 restarts (not sure if anything changed there) and a night's sleep, today I feel everything looks normal again. I had been reading an e-book (for a few hours) with fairly large font so perhaps that messed with my own perspective.
  13. I installed Nvidia 528.24 Studio Driver and I swear all system text has gotten smaller. Anyone else with a similar experience?
  14. Umm...you could post the plan so those who are able to help don't have to guess.
  15. to apply that molding to other cabinets, that must be done in plan view. Select the correct cabinet, and then select the match properties tool from the bottom. In search, type in moldings and check boxes that you'd like to transfer. Then use the apply properties tool and click on wall and upper cabinet to apply those same moldings.
  16. @Renerabbittjust posted something similar to what I thought of while I was away from the computer.
  17. To know for sure if it's the right tool for you, it'd be worth seeing what you have so far, or a section sketch of what you have in mind.
  18. Not quick but definitely dirty! You gotta check out the tray ceiling polyline tool. One of the best tools Chief has ever created IMO.
  19. My only suggestion might not be what you want. Keep the 'R' and create a noticeably different circular symbol. Then, allow a legend or schedule to define and differentiate those symbols. Otherwise, enlarge the symbol and adjust the text to the center.
  20. Big time! Place a cad block from the library in plan view, switch to layout and your first click places the same block. I bet I press escape a thousand times a day!
  21. Depending on how your floor plan is setup, it can be as simple as editing the floor structure for existing rooms. In the Room Spec. dialog, go to the Structure tab, select Floor Structure, locate the framing layer and uncheck the Framing option.
  22. Thanks for the tip Scott! I'll give this a try and see if this helps to reduce the number of crashes I'm experiencing.
