  1. I am trying to achieve a certain look of a double hung window and can only achieve it by creating a custom window.

    In my window schedule, I would like for it to read in the sash orientation as a double hung(DH)- Is there any way to change the custom to a DH in my window schedule?

  2. I was hoping for some insight about how to use the section line tool.  I created a section line on my design layer model and the section was generated on a sheet layer.  How do I show my section line  on my floor plan in the viewport of my floor plan on a sheet layer .

    Figured it out.  Went to the viewport of the section, selected the section line instances and choose the viewport I would like to add the section line to

  3. Is it possible to create new columns in the window schedule?  After I created my window and door schedule, I would like to add some additional columns, which I can and I can add a header - However, when trying to add info in the corresponding window/door row, I can't add information.  Is there a way to add my own info

     

  4. Okay got it- Thanks-

    I was able to use the stake tool and enter the heights around the property lines.  Now how would i subtract from the site model where my basement goes?

  5. I was wondering how you customize a window or door schedule.

    It seems when I create the schedule, I need to eliminate the one row where it has the total number of doors, total width, total height, etc.  Is there a way to eliminate this line or not show it.  When I try to eliminate it the whole schedule goes blank.  Also, How do I make my door numbers go from lowest number to highest number

  6. Looking for a better way to create a demo flr plan and proposed flr plan from m y existing plan.  Currently, I create my existing floor plan and create my demo layer from this.  I will copy the existing plan and create a new layer called the proposed layer.  On this layer I remove any walls or doors, windows and add the new items as necessary.

    Is there a better way to use my existing flr plan drawing and create the demo and proposed from that?

    Do I need to create separate layers for each ie, existing,  demo and proposed

  7. I often stayed away from the stair tool and would like to use it more.  I had a question about when setting the stairs in a 3 story home, do I place the stair on the basement level or do I place in on the first-floor level.  The same would be for the stairs going up to the 2nd and 3rd story.  Where would i place the stairs

  8. Is it possible to reorganize my design layer.

    I have my current floor plan and then interior several elevations that I crated from coping area of my floor plan  all over the place on this layer.

     

    The layer has gotten really messy and unorganized.  The only issue is I created several viewports of the interior elevations and  placed those on the the appropriate sheets.

    If I move anything around on that layer it will effect what I see in my viewport.  I thought there might be way around 

  9. Great-

    I was able to create my "favorites symbols file.  can I make it  permanent in my library

    How would I share  this so other in my group can access it in their resource browser 

    Do I just share the favorite file?

     

  10. I am trying to figure out what the best practice is for doing interior elevations.

    I typically will copy are area on my floor plan on the floor plan layer, move it off to an area that has some open space.

    I then create my 2-d elevations, then create a viewports and put them on the appropriate sheets.

    I am not sure if this is the most effective way.

    If several people work on the file, often they move the items on my floor plan layer of the 2-d elevations and i am unable to then see the viewport on the sheet.

    Please let me know if there is a more effective way?

    thanks

  11. Is it possible to export a file for PDF conversion and select the following:

    There are a total of 10 sheets in my file- I would like to export sheet 1-5, and sheet 9.

    Is it possible to export these 6 sheets as one set of pdf doc?

  12. I was recently asked this question-

    I keep thinking there are organizational things I could devote time to that might save time in the future but I continue to follow my old ways. For instance, I have never developed any libraries of details I use/modify frequently and always have to remember where I used them and then hunt for them. Some are things I’ve done by hand as a sketch because it’s still quicker for me. Is this cataloging of details something people do (not sure how it would be stored or searched)? Any other suggestions?

  13. I am trying to write a header on my work sheet that I want to have 3 lines:

    Energy Analysis:

    Alterations to apartments on 11th floor of a 19-story building.

    Climate Zone 4a

    I only want to use one cell so I will not have any lines.

    Is this possible
