SO I forgot that you can't copy elevation cameras, principle remains that you need multiple cameras. So I made new cameras each using a different layer set. One issue I ran into was that your shutters are not just located on the shutter layer but also on Cad default (since they are blocked) and you need to turn that layer off to turn off the shutters. I fiddeld with it in X10 then realized you are on 9 so only posting image from layout-3 cameras each using a different layer set Changed material on front is a material region set to NOT cut layer-only turned on in one view. Just proof of concept. So no you only need mulitple files IF you are changing something structural or integral to a symbol -like if your shutters were part of the window instead of how you have them.

Section and elevations are 3D views, more like perspectives than like plan views. When an elevation or section are sent to layout they are linked to a camera, a specific camera. They are not linked to a plan view even in X10 or separate layersets. Open the view in layout and look at the DBX- no options for layerset listed there as it would be in X9 plan view sent to layout. If you change the layerset for that camera in plan it will always change when updated. Chief always updates cameras when sending to print. There are two ways to accomplish what you want. Send to layout as image. OR use multiple cameras. Name first camera and place on layer visible in desired layerset (say corbels) Send view to layout. Then- Copy and paste in place that camera, rename and place on another layer, switch layersets and check that the 2nd camera's layer is on but the first one is off. Send to layout. Repeat. Naming each camera just lets you keep track of what layerset it uses. Placing the cameras on separate layers is not essential but makes working much easier.

If you didn't uninstal x9, go to the x9 data folder and copy it from there to the x10 folder

OK- so 40% make between the median and the top. It also looks as if jobs in architecture aren't at the top of the heap in Spain-http://www.salaryexplorer.com/salary-survey.php?loc=203&loctype=1&job=9&jobtype=1 Which appears to show pay lower for architecture in general in Spain than here but still adjusted for COL doesn't look too bad to me. Then again statistics can be selective - architectural draftsman Spain 8 yrs experience 31.30 eu adjust to US $, 40 hrs/wk, 52 weeks $74869. (before COL adjustment) LA 8yrs $78,350 yr Kind of interesting and fun but in any case I don't consider CA is expensive. I've done things where the capital cost of tools and equipment was far worse while return ratio wasn't not much better (if at all but that could have been the bosses fault-need to go talk with him:)

Cabinet Drawing in Layout Displaying DImensions
MarkMc replied to Gregg_Design's topic in Tips & Techniques
To help you better post a plan and/or a screen shot and what version of the software you are using. (good idea to fill that out in your signature) A quick thought without looking is use one of the elation cameras in vector view mode. IF you need to dimension to frames you need to create a CAD detail-(from view in premier after you turn off the cabinet door layer among others) Just noticed this is in Tips. Really should be asking questions in the Q & A section. Tips is for folks to offer tips. -
Adjusting Euros to dollars the median salary is just under 24K USD with 90% earning 45k. The median cost of living for Spain is 23% lower than the states, while Madrid is between 30% to 33% less than LA or Boston (42% lower than NYC) making adjusted salary roughly $64k.

Codecs aside convert the output file format to WebM-either with free on line convertor or dedicated program. I've not tried any of the online ones and trial version of Wondershare only converts 1/3 of the video. I had been using Active Presenter for a while to do screen recording which is where I first found the format. WebM files can be opened by most browsers (not Safari) so no need to download another program to watch. BUT you likely need to tell whoever you send it to that is what opens it. Link to what opens a webm Just tested Wondershare-if I had the full version it would take this 773 mb AVI file (recorded in QHD) from a walkthrough and output a 27MB WebM file in UHD. IF it the output is changed to 1280 x 720 the file size drops to under 15MB

LMAO- I was writing out the long version when your post came up-short answer is as you say. 2020 exports: 3D DWG which comes in as a symbol with no faces or textures, 2d DWG floor plan which you can trace BUT best to only include walls an openings AND most 2020 jockeys don't draw a complete room -all in all waste of time just as well off with PDF, print it and read dims while drawing. XML file which can be imported into Envisioneer. The main advantage it creating editable elevations and dimensions that don't disappear, or creating a decent structure in EV that can't be done in 2020 it will import SU files but not export but I don't think that would help anyway. As Cheryl says it doesn't take that long and to do start from scratch. To make a decent PBR you need a complete structure (at least 4 walls (though I always have adjacent rooms), roof and foundation, non of which is in 2020. When I first switched I went back and forth between the two for about 2 years. Initially 2020 first then CA, then Chief for everything but did an item list in 2020 to get pricing (on some brands). Once I figured out how to get a good cabinet schedule and then generate pricing from that it has been CA all the way. IF someone approached me I might do a one-off IF they were going to bite the bullet and switch because: The next 2020 support payment would cover half almost half the cost of Chief but they should also plan on at least one training As Cheryl points out -better results in the long run with less frustration and it would my service would cost less that way I would venture to say that I've been able to produce better kitchens and drawings faster using Chief than with 2020. Once you are doing slightly better kitchens there is no contest, none. A search through assorted posts I've made on the forum provide enough information to get good schedules and deal with pricing either with on line ordering, using 2020 just for price, or with spreadsheet template (there is more coming on that, just not finished and undecided how it will be offered) When I first switched over to what I do now, drafting and assistance, I considered working from 2020 users and files and upgrading my copy of Envisioneer. After a short period of time I decided that I only work with people using Chief. For interior projects where there is a cabinet supplier they supply drawings to drop into Chief-PDF, DWG and renderings. There's a cost if I'm supposed to create renderings to include those elements (done from scratch).

I do field measures with the Spectre in my signature and occasionally a quick fiddle usually with X9. It will run X10 but slower. Kitchen Adobe also uses a slightly older model for presentations I believe. Would not want to do heavy lifting. It will be interesting to see what the new crop does this year.
-
I mostly use material regions so I can set them to cut the finish layer or not and they don't cover over windows etc which makes life easier. Seats with closed face I make with a cabinet that has the face changed to Blank and separations of 0" (unless I need framing for the drawings) Countertop can be tile thickness OR when stone is involved I can get overhang and different material. It's a matter of both preference and need for a situation.
-
Checking that box turns the cabinet into a filler which is why the box goes away. It does NOT control automatic fillers-that is controled by the defaults as I said.

Getting selection of items on locked and hidden layer
MarkMc replied to MarkMc's topic in General Q & A
I've still occasionally gotten this but far less trouble than it was. Was nearly impossible to document but I did finally get one plan to support that they were able to reproduce. When it happens it's always been on plans that were heavily worked, lots of save as. Added plan views and layersets, usually have multiple plan views open-from what I can tell it's more likely when creating a new plan view and yes working in the ALDO is a consistent part of it (that's where I always work layers). Most often save close solves the problem. Sometimes save as makes the problem stay away longer. The one plan that was a big problem I did an edit area and moved the whole thing to a new plan (PIA) So short answer is I don't know. -
Tommy's method always works. Some farm sinks work with no issue (Most of the Kohlers are OK) Here's if you want or need to do it another way. Note that with both methods you are likely going to need to change the cabinet label (not with the Whitehaven though) Apron Sink.plan

That's a Clevo by another name- said you didn't like the build of Clevos. Link to other brands that are Clevo (though I don't think it's a full list) https://rspydir.wordpress.com/2016/09/21/clevo-laptops-and-computers/ Have you seen a Clevo IRL? don't understand the complaint unless your are sold shiny. As I mentioned the last round of Clevos are not likley the best for thin but OTOH if this is to be a full time primary machine I'd be thinking differently about size and weight (have a nice Everki Backpack solves it). I showed you the heat from the Sager which I can get to peg at close to 90c with a lot on. The spectre runs hotter with much less power and very little (like hearts) running. Granted that is smaller and super thin but well... just physics. If I was set on thinner I'd wait a couple of months until the new models all shake out and keep a close eye on those forums over at notebookereview for real world info. Looks, well mine is all black, nice rubberized coating, when getting this it was between it and an MSI-either was fine. Traveled to NYC to test the MSI in person, already knew what the Clevos were. MSI looked like a spaceship (Dragon I think) but if I liked it better and could get all I wanted in it I'd live with it (duct tape does wonders)Deciding factore was getting t a desktop CPU with no Intel card hence no Optimus (big deal for me with multiple monitors) quality of the two -they were different, I preferred what I bought. Saving $$-maybe but not a whole lot really. Just had more options with some better interior components. HID now has some good component choices in their MSIs that were not available then but only in 15" machines. As to the Bios (and control center issues) The only thing was it would be difficult to change the video card, though possible. I have not had a single issue with either machine. Quadro cards-what Graham said +- check https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html to get an idea of what you are giving up in performance/$. FWIW before the Clevos I had Dell Performance machines with Quadros. If you think a Quadro may help with a rendering program then check which ones so you know, I know Lumion and Thea both like gaming cards. Now if I could afford a Quadro RTX6000 then that would be a no brainer Most of the Clevos, (and Alienware just added some machines) allow swapping cards but with thin and light you need to check first. No matter what can't swap a gaming card for a Quadro in a laptop AFAIK.
-
Base prices are close to identical between the two, might check around Notebookreview.com-often forum members can get a discount at HID. The RTX cards will be available in two weeks. (I got mine a month or two before the 10 series cards were announced and upgrade hasn't been worth it) From what I gather the 20 series cards are a benefit for thinner machines even if there is no great performance boost yet. FWIW-I've never re-pasted either of the Sagers and don't use a cooler (course it's rarely on my lap:). I have the back propped up about an inch on a small piece of aluminum channel (also makes the keyboard easier as a secondary with my left hand) . It gets put through it's paces, if I'm really going to be pushing I'll run HWMonitor up on one screen-usually the laptop (others are 27QHD and 24 UHD). If it looks to be getting a tad warm (or even if I hear the fans start) I hit Fn + 1 keys which forces fans to full force (works on all Clevos). Just tried to make it unhappy -attached screenshot with temps-this is the second to biggest one though-so YMMV :)

I think the dimension is snapping to your walls existing dashed layer? or another cad layer? Delete the wall at the end and dimension remains.
-
I don't know why it goes away but-if you either manually move the snap to the main layer it is fine, OR in the attached I turned off locate objects except for your wall settings, no primitives, CAD etc. Pulled a new dimension and it's fine. I couldn't find what it was snapping to or why it's happening though. REN_CD_V1A_2.zip

I like Clevo's,(Sager is a Clevo) the one in my signature has been run full time 3yrs now, we have an older 9150 running the office. Got the 9150 from Sager, current one from Xotic both were swell to deal with. Xotic was a bit better. I had the 9150 case and screen repaired by Sager after 5 yrs-easy and cheap enough. Couple of things you might look into: Clevo rarely (as in never) updates the BIOS so despite the fact that they are up-gradeable that limits the ability. HIDevolution sells Clevos with Prima BIOS included which are updated often-only way to get Prema is from a reseller who includes them. Second- I've seen a bit of discussion about heat issues on at least one of the thinner Clevo models over at Notebookreview.com. You should check out the model your looking at over there. The upcoming line of Clevos supposedly have improved heat management which I'd guess relates primarily to the thinner ones since the big ones are really good at it. The new ones are hitting the streets shortly.

FWIW it is simpler than that explanation, unless I missed something there? Have a hotkey for rotate resize about point, once active just drag the corner as in prior releases, hotkey deactivates RRAP. No points, no X...hotkey, click drag release, hotkey.- 9 replies
