  • Not enough computer power??

    Ah yes that can be the real answer to why it is is going slowly. I have assisting DXF geometry on both ground floor and 1st floor. So I should just delete them - ah well I am not finished using them... So maybe I should just delete the parts of the geometry that I don't need more.

  • Wish List

    I just thought about something more:


    9. I don't like the Di-Cam view, it is (almost) useless, to my opinion. Why not put openGL view and Dicam together, to make it possible to work in the rendered mode

    What about designing a webpage - is it like graphical user interface like making dokuments in Word??


    The next thing is that I should make the website in both Danish and English - double work. :roll:

  • Shoulder connection posts to two beams - problem!?

    Zitat von Der_planner

    @Dietrich's: Would it be possible to create both shoulders at once? And if not, would it at least be possible to manually connect a group of posts to a group of beams when they are one behind another as shown in the example?


    Yes exactly - very interesting questions - to that I would like to hear an answer from Markus or other Dietrichs people! :wink: I have also put that in the "wish list" another place in the forum.

  • Not enough computer power??

    I have a quite "heavy" computer with a lot of power, I think. But at the project I am working now, the computer begins to slow down. The project is two storey + topfloor/roof and now I am working at 1.st floor and finished ground floor. When I choose a function like wall list, to put in post, to cut off timber etc., most of the times I have to wait a long time before the function is available. So half of the time I am working I am waiting.... The project is a big one, but no that big - about 300 m2 in ground floor and in 1st. floor, total 600 m2.

  • Wish List

    I have been using Dietrichs for only 1½ month. But already from the beginning I was very happy for the program - it is really a very nice program!! I like it very much!!


    I have a few things for the wish list at this moment - maybe I forgot about some things I have been thinking about, but then I can add it later. Some of the wishes can have been mentioned earlier.


    1. Saving pictures from OpenGL in the same way as you save a Word file - by opening the directories on the computer and giving the picture a meaningfull name.


    2. In wall design - in stead of opening wall list to choose a wall - maybe in a area at the bottom or at the right side of the screen, all walls are shown in a list of sheets - like the worksheets in Excel, where you can choose a wall directly. And the ability to choose between to views - a simple list wall 1, wall 2 etc. and a list with a small preview. And of course still the preview of the building where you can see where is the wall.


    3. Exporting wall design to drawings: It would be nice if it was possible to select all walls or a number of walls (for instance in the worksheet list as mentioned in (2) ) - and then export all wall designs to drawings with the same predefined settings. That is settings as scale, the position of the wall drawing at the sheet, the position of timberlist etc. Because making wall drawings now take some time and is a boring job if you have many, many walls.... And maybe even while exporting drawings a automatic headline text in the predefined page header like: "Groundfloor, wall 1" or "xxxxx, wall 1" where you self can define "xxxxx"


    4. Intelligense betwwen the program (ground floor plans, wall design t.ex.) - when you make changes t.ex. in the wall design the changes are automatic updated in the drawing. And maybe adding an automatic text "this drawing was changed 18-09 2006, 10:37" so when you look through the drawings you can see where you should add revisions if necessary.


    5. The possibilty to copy walls (with timbers) directly in ground plan. The function could be like wall macro that is a nice feature, just more automatic and working in ground plan.


    6. In wall macro to get a warning when selecting a wall to copy - if the two walls are not exactly equal - and then you can choose to skip the function.


    7. Automatic doing shoulders from posts in both beams in double beams (or maybe even trible beams).


    8. A more flexible way to change projectnumber and name.


    Well I can't remember more wishes for now. But I must say that this software is already VERY GOOD!!! :applause:

  • member's homepage

    Ha, ha :lol: well besides of wood houses that website represent another of my interests. I don't yet have a website of my own and recently I have retired from the team at this website about dvd-recorders etc.


    But yes - maybe I should have a website of my own where I can share my interest in wooden houses. But I don't know how to make such a website and with what provider. It should be free or at least very cheap - and it should be easy to create a nice website.

  • Shoulder connection posts to two beams - problem!?

    First of all it was the double beams I made different lenght.


    Secondly it doesn't work what you suggested - maybe because when I select the receiving beams I don't select both even I use "collect" and make a window around the beams. I did what you said (I already tried that before) and here is the result (see picture).

  • Shoulder connection posts to two beams - problem!?

    Ok - it seems to be a tuff question this one, since there are no answers yet. I found a possible solution - but it does not work automatically when I put in posts. I make the one beam 1 mm longer in each end. Then it works when I put "group shoulders" manually and select the one beam where the shoulders are not done.

  • Shoulder connection posts to two beams - problem!?

    Hello!


    When I put posts in my walls I use shoulder as connection to top- and bottom plates etc. But over windows and doors I have to beams - and here the shoulder is done in only the one beam but not at the other one. First I had only cut off the posts when they meet the two beams, but that is not what we want to do. At picture 3 you can see at the nearest beam what we want - but at the other beam this is not done.


    I have tried almost everything - lap joint, end lap joints etc., but nothing seems to give the wanted result. Of course I would like an easy and fast way to do it, because I have many that I am going to change. And of course I would like also a method that works automatically when I put in posts.


    Eiij, I cannot upload the pictures!!?? Do you understand what I meam without the pictures??
