Yes of course, that is correct. Of course the rounded edge is not really round, because you have to make the arc of straight lines. But it works, and that is what matters!

OK, but the program cannot possibly know how I split the roof into elements... (?) - Maybe if I made one roof surface for each element, but that is time consuming - I did that once, but now no more.

Hi.

Is there an "easy" way to make a rounded edge, t.ex. with a radius of 20 mm. I did this: Made a 90 degrees tube (in D-cam), with 20 mm inside radius. I make the wood (in wall design) that I want rounded edge on, and in D-cam I place the quarter tube at correct place on my timber and mirror it. Then with intersecting volumes I can make my two rounded edges.

Is there an easier way??

I work in millimeter, but the timberlists are inserted with dimensions in meter. Is it possible to change, so that timberlists will be inserted with dimensions in millimeter?

No one knows????

Hi.
I know I can change the position info - but is it possible to change the project info/name??

Can it be that you have reached the maximum upload? Do you see a message about that in top of window, when you try to send a message with a attachement?

1. the problem with dhpdat.ini is known, but we have not found the reason for this, yet. It seems to have something to do with changing the language. If you could see a regularity in it, that would help.
We found that dhpdat.ini is not deleted, but only renamed. Just look for a "dhpdat.new" and re-name it. Then you will not loose your path settings.

Did you not found a permanent solution for this yet?? I don't see any regularity in it.

What about the D-Cad problem?? - that still irritates me.

1) Yeahh, I understand that - and now I remember that it is not the .plf files that are attached to positions but the .pla files are.

2) Aahh, so the .pla files are the blocks (stored images) that I insert in the drawings. I understand.

3) Nothing bad will happen, because the .plf files is just a long list of drawings. And the order of them doesn't matter.

4) I wouldn't do it any where else than in the Dietrichs menu (delete and copy positions). When I create folders for new projects, I prefer to do it in explorer (if that is what you call it). If I delete positions, I will have some empty spaces (position numbers), where I can copy other positions to. So with copy and delete, I can reorganize my positions as I wish.

5) I know, but that could be changed to a number system like xxxxxyyyzzz.plf xxxxx = project number, yyy position number and zzz plan number. So when one make a new drawing, the program asks what position it should be attached to. And when opening drawings, the list of drawings would be folders with the position names and under that, the drawings attached to that position. And if you - in the program copy a drawing to another position the program automaticly changes the yyy number. That cannot be so dificult. Or it could be in the same way as with the .pla files - they are organized position wise.

How are the drawings attached to specific positions??

What are the .pla files used for?? Can I delete them?

In this project I am working with, I have several houses - each house in one position. I am reorganizing the drawings, because it is a bit mess. T.ex. I have wall drawings for some houses - and then later I have roof element drawings for the same houses. And the numbering of the drawings are also not continious. So I am renumbering the .plf files. This I do with a copy of the drawings, another place than in the Dietrichs project folder.

Can something bad happen, when I delete the existing .plf files, and copy the reorganized files into the project folder??

I was also thinking about to reorganize the positions, because, I have positions that I don't have to keep - but can something bad happen here?

For the wish list: The possibility to organize drawings in folders. Perhaps automaticly, so there are one drawing folder for each position. It should then be possible to move drawings from one position to another - t.ex. if you want to delete a position, because you have a copy that you use.

Hi. I would like to forward a question and my temporary answer to that question:

Question:
Jesper asked me to ask You- in Dietrich's program it can be done lists of elements(roof, dormers, and walls) height, width and length?

Answer:
The quick answer is: I don't think so. Perhaps for walls it is possible - but not for roof elements, dormers, balconies, since they are made as whole roofs / balcony areas, that are manually split into elements.

When I - maybe on the next project - are going to use the elementation modules in the program - then maybe this would be possible. But first I have to find out how to use these elementation modules, and I didn't have time for that for now. And I also didn't want to do it on Havsdalsgrenda, because it wouldn't be a benefit here.

Am I correct with my answer - and what is possible?

But the 2 roofs do not touch each other - at least not in the height. But the one roof goes under another roof. So when the outlines are seen from above, then yes, they cross each other.

Hi. At attached picture, the lowest roof is supposed to end near to the wall, but it seems like the roof calculation for that roof follows the upper roof - why? OK - I cannot upload picture, but maybe you understand my question anyway.

You are working with Dietrichs and don't know what is blocks?? Now I am chocked... :wink: No - well, when you make a drawing and you will insert some content in that drawing, you use "Insert stored image" function - and there you have your blocks to choose from.

It was not the lines she could not see, but the blocks, when inserting in drawing. She (of some reason) did not get all blocks available.

But it is solved now, after she use the project file that I sent to her with the whole project.

Under "Messen und Sonstigen ......"

No, not so far as I can see...

How?? :wink:

Hi.

I have uploaded some pictures - but by mistake I uploaded 2 of the pictures to a wrong place. Is it possible to change that??

We don't use drawing templates. I don't think that the color settings are the problem, because she is working on a quite clean installation of Dietrichs, an installation that I made. I am also not sure what is really the problem - but she says that she cannot see all the drawing blocks, that I have made - when she insert drawing images in drawings.
