I spoke too soon. Setting up the custom page gives me a small image on a 24x36 PDF page. My settings: Doc settings: Print: 300DPI Doc set up: layer scale 1:1 Page setup: 1 page horiz and vert. Check boz:"page unavailable in printer set up", width 36, height 24 Print sequence: PDF995, size Arch D, Landscape. Am I doing somthing obviously wrong? Thanks!

I set the palettes to "minimize" to save screen space. When I select it to change a line tipe, I wish the palette would stay open until I am done making all choices, not close up again as soon as a line is chosen or a weight or color is chosen. Maybe have a "done" button.
-
Thanks for the replies, both of you. The PDF looks good, but prints out week with lines looking like they were from a drying up pen. I will try up-ing the DPI in the print sequence and see if that works. I did the custom page and believe it will work. Will let you know.
-
Sorry, In Document Preferences, it is set for normal resolution and 72 DPI for printing. No? I figured this was ok since it is a default.
-
No, they are rough, like a printer running out of ink, in any size image. I can't set the DPI, I use a commercial printer. They use a KIP Starprint 7000 or an HP 750.

Having the text information be accessible in the object info pallete (size, font..) would be very helpful, The size especially, as a drop down sub-menu. This would be for text and call-outs. A drop down for the font would be nice too.
-
Just a reminder (having painfully learned all this a little bit ago!): the wall int. class should be on, the window main class should be on and the window placed on it,and window spec class should be on. Note: you can change the layer the ID symbol is on in Settings...

Thanks for the help, Katie. Got the PDF conversion to work, although it did a small image on a 24x36 page. The printer (staff) can accomodate that, though. I m getting very rough lines. letters, etc, almost like extreme draft quality. Is there a setting here (in VW) or is it a printer issue?
-
I have no "clear" option, only none or styles. Am I missing something? thx
-
I am trying to print to PDF so I can sneakernet or email to a remote printing company. My page setup defaults to the 8.5 x 11 of my desktop printer, or goes to multiple pages when I default to Arch D. Any suggestions on prepping the file for offsite printing? Thanks.

Would like a better roof tool for multi-pitch roofs, such as a dutch gambrel, with dormers that continue the top shallow pitch.
-
Thanks, Robert. Any chance of giving us a quick outline of procedures to do, say a wide shed dormer/raised roof or large gable, using the cut holes, roof planes, and fit walls to roof? It might save a bunch of people hours of wandering through the manuals. Thanks!
-
When either copy/pasting or edit/duplicate array PIOs or symbols, the walls are not cut so in 3D shows siding in my frames, if they show at all. What should I be doing?
-
Band A: I would agree. The wizard (or whatever) should cut a hole, make a roof and selectable walls, and let you place your choice of door/window PIO's. Maybe that is the route to take anyway...
-
Thanks, but they are separated, different sizes and might change during design. Also, in one instance, there is only one window set off to one side rather than centered. I would hope for more adaptibility.
-
I am trying to do a long dormer with several windows. The Dormer tool seems bent on using a single window centered. How can I move and add windows in the dormer face? ALso, In top plan, the walls are hidden. How can I draw the rooms in the attic? I set the model up as single floor with roof, attic inserted. Should anthing more than a simple dormer be done as a roof face? Thanks.
-
How do you move a window in a dormer, such as to insert several windows in a long dormer?
-
Peter, while I have your (much appreciated) attention, I am trying to learn how to make door (and window)symbols. It says to select the 2d and 3d objects, but how?
-
Very much so. thanks. Using windows. Good idea on the separate folders.
-
The manuals say to select the 2d and 3d objects. How? It seems like one is either in 2 or 3d at a time so how do I get both?.
-
Another: as I make door symbols (or whatever) how can I add a sub-folder to the main catagory, i.e., add "Multi-panel doors" to 08_Doors_Hinged...
-
oh, duh! Thanks!
-
Newbie question: how do I change the door swing direction once the object is inserted? When I try by right click/flip it flips the whole wall. Thanks.
