NEW USER: Seeking guidance...

All,

 

Hello, I just switched to CA from VW this week, and love it. The SPEED and toolset is amazing!

Currently using CA x17 on a Mac.

 

I'm curious...

"Is there a way to build a layout using "hand drawn" methods (4"/ 6" walls), while also incorporating NOMINAL sized materials that I can use for PRODUCTION work?"

 

I'm trying to serve two masters at once and may very well be swimming against the tide, but I wanted to ASK the EXPERTS.

Thanks in advance for your time!

 

Sincerely,

Ryan Russell

Hi Ryan,

 

Welcome.  The way I might approach this is start with a "nominal" basic wall type definition, for example a 6" wide exterior wall or a 4" wide interior wall.  Useful while doing schematics or design development.  Later for CDs you could redefine the walls to actual wall width definitions.  You could selectively change each wall definition wall by wall or just redefine their wall type definitions so that they reflect actual construction.
