  1. Nope but for the framing showing if you make the railing solid instead of panel it allows for the wall niche tool to be used BUT the wall cap then goes on top of the glass so needs to be deleted and a Psolid or counter added and heights adjusted. Niche 2.plan
  2. View, angle snap grid; is the only way I can make that happen
  3. Don't remove frame, just shorten it . Attached a few options with different wall definitions. Only one is has a furred wall added. Check all the tabs in the window DBX (frame, sash, framing in particular). Don't know what your exterior condition looks like so can't really answer that. There is no exterior casing on these currently but something has to be done there, depends on what your "exterior sill as CMU looks like" Could get tricky once that is added. Framing rough is set to 0 on these but sides have a gap since 0 there is not realistic. window stuff.plan
  4. The drawer is placed as a shelf, rollout in the bottom opening. (OPEN the cabinet DBX and check everything) For a step you would just make symbol, type fixutre interior) of a box with a top.
  5. It's likely to have: some changes you want, some you don't, some you dont think they should have bothered but use anyway (and some not), something that thrills and at least one to drive you mad, something that never occurred to you, something borrowed, something.... It always does and always saves time. I use it every day. At less than $2/day the decision is easier than what to have for lunch. I stay on SSA, it's in the operating budget; cheaper than the d$++:& phone.
  6. Cameras (and computers) are not always smart, sometimes they don't realize that they went to another room. I do that all the time but that's a different problem
  7. IF you use a door with a different name you can make it a different material. To do that with a double door cabinet it needs to be split so that it is two doors. This is actually a little easier for sliding doors than hinged. (IF you make them look right) To make them look like sliding doors I made two door symbols each with different origins and used them as "side panel inset" For the second you need a custom door symbol that inserts to look like a partition. To make it so that it can have different materials follow the steps shown on the plan, eventually converting to a solid and then exploding it (you can start with a solid I just find it easier to do Psolids since I have a shortcut key for that-and habit) After exploding assign different materials to faces. There is more about doing that on the forum, often when discussing grain direction on angled framing members. Sliding doors and colors.plan Edit to add partition symbol. Be sure to "open symbol" to check settings on that and the doors in plan. Partition.calibz
  8. If it could have previously been opened on another svreen that's not present? Then try preferences, general panel, save dialog position and size, change to never might work. Otherwise no idea.
  9. The upload limit changed to 2MB, at least that's what it said yesterday
  10. Attached is file with an adjusted camera,sun, and light set. NO it is not attached, Looks like they have changed the file size limit to 2MB (was wondering why you couldn't attach it?0 Sending back to you by email. The rest is here for anyone with same issue in the future. I set generic sun then turned it down, I started with it at 100 then moved up. Also changed the postion temporarily since I like to know where it is and if it's working. Can adjust later as you see fit. Slight adjustment to rendering technique. Then I named the room so I could identify the lights and made a new light set, turned on all the lights in the room. The only change to lights themselves was to make the right table lamp match the left one (changed from spot to point) I would most likely change at some lights total and some from point to spot, turn some shadows OFF, move the sun depending. This should get you going.
  11. Did you update the view after changing to plot line? Plot lines are usually the crispest.
  12. Without a plan guess would be turn sun on BUT turn it down, way down.
  13. I don't have one of those but the horizontal scroll on mine only works with scrollbars showing and then I have to click the bottom scrollbar first. I don't use it much as easier otherwise as you note.
  14. Glasses. For years I've worn 35mm (blueprint) trifocals and had a pair of single vision computer glasses. I almost never used the single vision since switching to read paper was such a pain. Recently got a pair of 35mm bifocals set for reading at the bottom and computer at the top. Has made a big difference, less eye and neck strain. The only downside is they work so well that I often get up and start out of the room with them on and don't realize I can't see distance properly until I walk into the door jamb
  15. The EZ Level are used with cabinets with standard toe kick, hole for adjuster is covered with toe board.
  16. Depending I've done this 3 ways Order cabinets with no sub-base and build sub-base on site. Most often I've done this when the floor is way out or the flooring is very irregular (think rough cut slate slabs that no one should walk on :) Cut strips of Ply 2-3" wide, layout those out to match the cabinet sides and back. Level those with shims, on cement I PL the shims down and pin the ply to them; on wood just pin it all. Be sure to include trim for exposed ends (DAMHIKT). I've used this often with large format tile or if floor is off by 1/2" or more. Use EZ Levels (link). They give you 1-1/4" height adjustment so you might need to combine with #2. The cabinets can be ganged together and leveled as a group. I first used these when we had to for a large office complex where they wanted the ability to change things around later, then for a few difficult to level corner situations. I've had installers ask me to include them.
  17. I don't normally keep the side windows off by themselves (I like to keep all 3 stacked.) Just tested with the 3070 and don't get what you are getting. Wonder if it's a quirky Win setting or a Chief one? Or cables? My two main monitors are DP and 3rd is a USB (DisplayLInk not port) . At one point I had one as HDMI, one DP, 3rd as now and had some unusual things. I could make the HDMI monitor as Primary but when identified it always showed as #2 which confused a setting in Ultramon, (throwin spaghetti at the wall here)?
  18. Didn't bother with the wine fridge
  19. In cabinets I posted ope the other tabs to find what is different.
  20. Open each cabinet DBX and check EVERYTHING- front and sides. Most of the things I post require you to do that to get an understanding of how things work.
  21. I couldn't be happier. I was originally talking with an outfit that promises 24 hour response, great reputation but a 2 month lead time. The responses weren't so great and couldn't get the Compact, only the full size or a mini. The last question I had they never got back to me, while waiting to hear found AVA. Figured I'd take a shot. Ended up with a better GPU, the case I wanted and saved $800 :))) After getting a basic config I spoke with Kyle (sales guy). He made some suggestions said: the PSU I picked was not quiet so we changed that, and the Asus 3070 I picked he said would take a long time to come in (if ever) so suggested the Evga as they had in hand, he reserved it for one day. I needed to make a Paypal payment so he had the hold extended for another half a day. The PSU was also his suggestion. So before I ordered we knew that all parts were available, which I expect made a difference. (even when I got back to him to change the MOBO). Someplace in there ( the thermal paste got changed from Kryonaut to Arctic Silver5..not a big deal) Anyway he said 1 to 2 weeks to ship, confirmation said 10-14 business days but blah blah...; it shipped in 16. Fedex mucked up a bit but got it worked out, only an extra day of shipping instead of two (found the secret to getting past the robot with Fedex- after saying representative a few times when it tells you they won't know any more than we already told you scream and curse "I don't care I want... instant representative:) The PSU brand and GPU were his suggestions, the rest were my suggestions for what I was after-quiet. We also discussed the M2 and PCIE4 (which won't make a noticeable difference from what I found and he agreed). I was a little concerned about the case. I knew that the full size Define 7 would be cool and quiet and also knew the Compact was not as quiet but I don't game at all so took a shot. I know at least one person with a popular brand with a 3090 and an I9 who said his sounds like a jet engine when the 3090 really kicks in (PBR) As soon as I could I set it to slam everything. It sits at eye level 3 ft away, can barely hear it even when I try. Right now there is a truck somewhere down the block that is louder :) Thermals are excellent. They put the burn in reports (12 hrs total)on the C drive. They got the temps higher than I have so far still just fine, no throttling. I have absolutely no idea about support and hope I don't need to find out. After I ordered saw a few complaint review, worried a little but only a little
  22. Check project browser to see if there are two schedules which is most likely issue. There could be two sets of labels in plan view just on top of each other. OR there are two cabinets. I had an assistant who would often accidentally copy and paste in place.
