Hey Mick, As you probably already know I have
experienced the problem of having the content
of some replies vanish when I hit the post button,
but as far as I know you are the only one who is
having the issue with unwanted "tagging" being
added to messages. I don't get that in any reply
window on either of the forums. You're just lucky
I guess.

Geez David, you need to lighten up. I'm sorry if you took the
intent of my post wrong and I hope the OP wasn't offended.
I was merely trying (with the limited resources at hand) to
communicate my befuddlement and bemusement at the
situation. If you look at post #5 it's not a matter of correcting
grammar or anything else. A simple grammatically correct
statement was made by the OP and a picture was attached
presumably to avoid any confusion. When someone goes
out of the way to repost a clarification of their original post
and states "this is what I would like the roof to look like" I
simply found it amusing that what later turned out to be the
desired roof configuration bore no resemblance to the original
request. Go figure.
BTW, what do you have against telephone poles?

This is what i would like the roof to look like
Does anybody know of a good English to English
translator app? Apparently I'm in need of one.

As I understand it you want everything under one
rectangular Gable roof. Use invisible walls to make
the perimeter of the structure into a rectangle. Be
sure to change all the wall segments (both visible
& invisible) that run in the short direction to Gable
walls. Build the roof. After the roof is satisfactorily
built be sure Auto Build Roof is turned off and you
can then remove the invisible walls. Something
like this.

....Where's YOUR avatar???
Speaking of avatars, whoa... be still my heart.
You are more... uh... radiant than I imagined.

That's funny, Rich, that you couldn't find that thread... considering that it was YOUR post!
In case this link doesn't work, it's on page 15.
Hey! Look what the cat dragged in. (I have no idea what this icon is supposed to mean)
Glad to see you have decided to grace the new forum with your considerable talents.
Surely you don't expect me to remember what I have posted here in the past. My memory
is like computer RAM. Once I shut down I forget everything I ever knew. And Chief's
search capabilities aren't much better than random trial and error.

Thanks Rich , saved your angles pic for future reference , I can now swing the sun to the other side (270 deg) if needed , had tried multiple "suns" but it didn't seem to effect the lighting...
Was beginning to think you and JoAnn had disappeared
Where is that girl? She did a nice Photoshop illustration combining
the Tilt Angle and Direction Angle info. It was in a thread on the old
forum, but I couldn't find the thread with a cursory search. I hope
she's not still in a snit over the changes to the forum.
BTW, I see you have resolved your issue with the emoticons.

Hey Keith, the easiest way to control the sun light in 3D views is with the "Adjust Lights" tool.
The two basic settings that control the light are “Tilt Angle” (a measure of how high the sun is in
the sky) and “Direction Angle” (an indication of which direction the light is coming from). I have
prepared a little sketch (see thumbnail #1) showing the range of these angles. The default is set
up so that a “Direction Angle” of 90° will always shine directly on the front of the building (i.e. from
the bottom of the screen). A "Tilt Angle" of -90° will place the sun directly overhead (be warned
that no sides of the structure are in light when the sun is directly above). Why the “Tilt Angle”
measurements are in negative numbers escapes me and leads to unneeded confusion. Its
easiest to experiment with a simple 4 wall plan to see how the changes will affect the view.

Wall tiling
in Q&A
.....You mentioned using the "Wall Bread Tool" and yes that would allow you to change the material settings of each vertical wall segment thus made by way of its individual wall dialog box allowing only vertical strips of differing materials assignment.
That tool is especially well suited for the Hansel & Gretel remodel job.

no idea why it keeps adding html tags to my posts either.<br /><br />eg .<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />M.
Mick you need to run that by tech support.
I don't have any problem with emoticons.

I think you only need to login once per 24hrs as long as you don't sign out , you can close your browser and comeback and it will sign your in auto-magically...<br /><br />it is showing me and one other member and 1 guest here tonite....
What I'm saying is that I always log out when
I'm done with a session. When I come back
it shows me as logged in when in fact I am
not. I can't see images or user profiles and
the like unless I actually do log in again.
Don't want to hijack Keith's thread. Just
some strange stuff going on.
-
That's funny because I have the exact opposite problem.
Today for example when I merely open the HomeTalk
forum page it shows me as presently being logged in
even thou I haven't logged in and am not really logged
in. I can't access any of the features available when
logged in until I actually do log in. Phew! Did any
of that make sense?

Amen to that R-K. I had a similar experience with a quick
search for that pool table you were looking for. The search
turned up no results even though the words being searched
for were included in the description of the library object. If
the search engine can't find that what can it find? Bottom
line, if the object you are looking for is a common item its
probably there somewhere but don't count on the search
feature to find it for you.

I am doing a large trace over of an existing hospital I am currently working on. I have the plan @ the correct size to start. I have already done a trace over of part of the plan and was asked to go back and do the entire plan. It took a while to get the partial correct, and now I am trying to trace over the entire pdf file. In order to get the pdf to align with the angle of my already drawn plan, I need to be able to rotate the pdf "precisely" but can't seem to find anything in the help. I did try turning off the angle snaps in the edit dialogue, but when I grab the rotate handle I can't get it to rotate the pdf at small precise degrees until I match perfectly. Any suggestions aside from starting over?
Have you tried holding down the Control (Ctrl) key
while you are grabbing the rotate handle? Usually
this will let you be more precise.

If you have the tools you can get the results you want by
using the cad tools to draw the shapes and then use the
"Convert Polyline" tool to convert the shapes into slabs.
From there you can assign a brick material to the slabs
and use the "Adjust Material Definition" tool to change
the bricks characteristics. Also if you have it you can use
the "Reflect About Object" tool to create mirror images.

Good stuff Kat!

yep....I think so looks like you can vote you own replies up....or I'm doing something wrong....yep again ....
LOL! Did not notice that. Kind of makes the whole
thing an exercise in self aggrandizement.

Hey Mick, kind of lonely over here, huh. I guess my ChiefTalk
"handle" already works over here. All I had to do was sign in.
Let me bestow upon you the first Reputation Point in HomeTalk
history.

Problem with Pony Wall Intersection
in Q&A
Posted
Hey, I found this interesting. Has anybody else encountered anything like this?
When I connect my two Pony Walls I’m getting some strange results when I go
to a 3D view.
