    Scott, I think this is less a DropBox issue, and more a file/folder management issue. You're right, there is no perfect solution.

    I'm still not sure if the OP wants a "curved" roof or a conical roof. Either way, the previous post I linked can help.

    Create a dropbox folder for your client. Create a smany subfolders as you want. Send the client a link to the parent folder and they can access everything in the parent folder, including subfolders.

    There is a difference between "linking" and "sharing" in Dropbox. Links allow the recipient to view and download the content, but not alter or delete it. Were you able to delete or alter the content in the folder link I sent you?

    Curved how? If you want to put a flare on the eave, this post may help you: https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/index.php?/topic/1599-conical-roof-with-radius-at-eave-results-in-chief-stalling/

    No, you just send a link to the folder. The client can view/download whatever you put in the folder. I'll send you a message with a link so you can test the functionality.

    Have you considered simply sending links, instead of sharing the folder?

    Our office runs six seats of X6. All project files reside on a box running Windows Server 2008 r2. We also keep shared resources (texture files, backdrops, etc) on the server. I know that CA doesn't recommend this, but honestly, how can an office function otherwise? We haven't noticed any problems that are different from most of the users on this forum who are storing plan and layout files locally.

    I use Sketchup2014 Make for Windows. It will export as: 3ds, dwg, dxf, dae, fbx, ifc, kmz, obj, vrml, xsi.

    Perry, I think the OP is referring to using stacked fractions (an option in AutoCAD), so 1/2" is displayed as ½".
  11. rlackore
    Not possible AFAIK.

    Post the plan.

    Have you tried manually adding a new roof plane?

    What exactly are you expecting in elevation view? Here's the same concept as I posted earlier, but with a corner cabinet as the filler, which will correct any problems with the toe kick. I'm no cabinet maker, but the BOM should be pretty darn close.

    You'll probably have to custom build it - but have you checked the Manufacturer libraries?

    Text Line with Arrow can be attached to text objects, CAD objects, and architectural objects. If you move the object, the attached end of the Line with Arrow will follow the object, and the opposite end of the Line with Arrow will remain anchored. It's greatest utility, IMO, is when used with a callout, so you can move the callout around and the arrowhead will stay in place. I'm sure there are other uses, though.

    I suggest sticking with one program. If you need/want CA for what it is, then learn to use its CAD tools. CA can't rival AutoCAD or other dedicated CAD programs, but it doesn't make sense to invest the money (and time) into a separate CAD program if you'll be producing your document set with CA. That's my two cents.

    Draw two lines. Select one of the lines. The intersect/join tool will then show up in the toolbar (unless you've messed around with customizing your tool bars). Fourth icon up from the bottom.

    See attached picture.

    I'd say that if you protect the training time for a new employee, and not expect production output while they are learning, then 1 month will achieve basic competence in all aspects of the program.

    But with this method, aren't you're placing ALL your annotations on the same layers (as defined by the annoset) for EVERY 1/4" drawing. What do you do when you're producing 1/4" floor plans, 1/4" reflected ceiling plans, 1/4" framing plans, etc? I don't understand.

    Opened the plan - I get opaque glass in all windows and doors.

    Are the wall types identical? Did you try using the Join Walls tool? Have you tried defining the problem wall as Through Wall at Start or Through Wall at End? I'm just spit-balling.

    Select the foundation room: Room Specification>Structure>Monolithic Slab Foundation Select all four foundation walls: Wall Specification>Foundation>Footing>Align Footing on Outside Wall Specification>Foundation>Footing> Width 10" That's it.
