Thanks Michael- My interface is taking a full 20-30 seconds to load.. I will report it. And in the meantime, not be using this 'cloud based' material library feature.

I chose our companies Server... But now looking into Dropbox.

Hi All- Can anyone else point me in the right direction. I upgraded to x10 and one of the features is changing the path for the materials library to either dropbox or a local server (so that our entire office can source from one single library)... Once I made the switch... it is extremely slow and delayed when searching the library catalogs. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a workaround? Thank you in advance, Candice

And... Gawdzira... we are going back in... to remodle. This is going away ;-) So feel free to celebrate a win for artistic humanity. I just needed to draft it accurately for the 'existing conditions' part of my plan set.

Great solution rlackore!!! This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!!!!!!!

Thank you Jarr3tt88 : The approach you sent gave me that same piece of fascia that was un-editable. (I can get rid of the interior ceiling plain by making the space its' own room (with invisible room dividers) and then unchecking 'ceiling over this room' in the structure box. Thank you for the approach. Unfortunately it doesn't solve my situation completely.

Did you draw the basement as a first floor or as the foundation?

Hey all... I have been challenged with drafting this corner detail window with skylights. I already spoke with SSA and have identified how to do the base corner windows. I am stuck on the corner skylights in the roofline. I have already attempted using Skylights... and there ended up being a large fascia piece that ran through the ridge line and into the center of the skylights... and there was no way for it to be edited. Also the skylights were in the same plain as the roof shingle material and not in line with the bottom of the cut back fascia (wrong elevation). I tried using ceiling plain.. but there was no frame and it also switched all my interior ceiling material to glass (in the entire room)... so that was out. Which leads me to here. I am presenting this to ya'll... let me know if you have done this installation before and how best to draft it accurately. Thank you in advance! -Candice

Hi All- I am importing a PDF of a structural document and the line weights are really hard to read. (looks like a bad xerox) The original image looks great until I import it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
