  1. I will just point out that using a 'deck' or a 'landing' has their own pros and cons. I ALWAYS use a landing between exterior split stairs because the landing elevation height updates automatically.
  2. Pretty much. Supports for Landings must be dealt with manually.
  3. Have you tried making a custom backdrop from a solid white jpg file?
  4. OR...you could notch the main roof plane around the gable wall.
  5. You will need a custom ceiling plane to make the ceiling slope the way I think you'd like it to.
  6. Have you turned those circled walls into foundation walls with a footing?
  7. @tds_cc I found one layout box on page 1 and it is much larger than the actual page. Is this what you were looking for? I recommend making the Layout Box Border a bright color and turning it's layer on until it's time to print.
  8. Great video @Renerabbitt! Smooth, brief, easy to follow!
  9. That was one done super quick, and I haven't even looked at it. I think that jitter probably happened during the recording...in other words the rotation jittered, not the recording. I was using other apps while it was recording. I fixed it for your Chop! Click the link now! Actually, I'm just wrapping that project up so I updated it for the client!
  10. Save to the cloud...if you're using X14. Otherwise I used to upload them to youtube so that I'd have just a link to share.
  11. Glad you figured it out! I figured it had something to do with layers or layersets.
  12. Change the lite count.
  13. You are the man Rene! The width is available for a text with a grid and for a text box without a grid (at the same time). This allows me to reset many text box widths at once. Thank you!!
  14. press record first, wait a few seconds, then spin, then stop, wait a few seconds then stop recording.
  15. Depending on what you've figured out, there are probably much faster ways. Especially if you figured out to use Chief's Orbital Walkthrough Path. I prefer to setup a camera view so the focal point is pretty close to the center of the entire model. Then rotate the camera using 'ctrl-alt-s'. You can simply press 's' to stop the rotation. Adjust the location and rotation speed of the camera. Rotate to a nice starting view. Using the walkthrough tools, press record. Then rotate the camera. Press 's' to stop. Wait a couple of seconds before stopping the recording.
  16. I always place these type of appliances as free standing symbols. I prefer the control of having them separate from the cabinet...because they are. For this scenario, you'll need to adjust the symbol's 3d offsets (all to zero). I use a saved customized cabinet for the dishwasher. There are of course, other ways. Same idea for built-in ovens.
  17. Using X14, any standard text box that is using a grid to create a table now seem subject to different sizing parameters. I can now only resize the width of these text tables in approx. 3" increments (for 4" tall text). This means they no longer align on one edge (usually the right side) with other stacked text items used in various notes. Does anyone know if there is any sort of setting to allow more refined adjustment of the width of text tables? I've attached a sample plan. text width issue x14.plan
