try what lol didnt see any response   another question  though ,  how do i set the end of a rectanlge to a perfect 45 degree angle ?? i am trying to get EXACT LOCATIONS FOR FRAMING . Used a polyline and broke lines at points of the deck , i want framing and cuts on deck boards to be EXACT . THE MATH IS ONE PART BUT I FEEL OR BELIEVE  I SHOULD BE ABLE TO KNOW THESE CUTS WITH CAD TOOLS , CAN I  ?? 

                    I CAN ONLY GET THE TRANSFORM REPLICATE  TOOL TO WORK FROM SOUTH TO NORTH

 no help ??????

H D pro 2017

                  i am using the transform replicate tool to check the framing dimensions for a deck . If i draw a sq with rough dimensions of the the deck , i would like to start the decking at the sliding door ( North )  and replicate them heading south , can this be done & if so how  ? ! am assuming i would use the y axis and input the board width 5 9/16  and input the  copy amount 

i started the boards from south to north ( north  being the house wall ) so  5 7/16 with the 1/8 in front of that board . Anyway to do this without decimals

i really would rather decrease the size of the deck  in length . Is there a way to figure this without using decimals ??

Hi everyone going a little brain dead here i am trying to get deck boards to work out perfectly  by  math . deck board  measures 5 7/16 " +  1/8 " space  = 5 9/16

if the rough deck dim. is 14 ' divided by 5 9/16  = 30.20  how do i convert .20 into a fraction of  an inch  ?? what does 1/5 represent ??

                 not sure i am right but i came up with 3/16 of an inch 

so 30 X 5 9/16 " = 166 7/8 +  3/16" = 167 1/16   / convert to feet is 13'11 1/16  correct   ???

sometimes we , i miss the simple things , did you set the garage structure tabs correctly  ?

wow i am lost  lol  can not load image

no where near as good as dave here !! but ask him if a template was set up with that width 39 " if it would become the default width  ?? 

all these new words arent in the webster dictionary 

are there any other ways to download this symbol in a 3d that are easier without using sketchup

hp 2017   can anyone tell me how to  reverse this symbol ?? i  need it to horizontal
