Hello!

Example: I am drawing a house, walls etc. Another person is going to work on same project, drawing a staircase house. In this case the problem is that the roof surfaces of the main house I am drawing is connected to the roof surface of the staircase house, that another person (if possible) is going to draw. If the roof surfaces was not connected I would suggest that he just draw the staircase house in a independent project.

But can I send my project to him, let him draw the staircase house on my project at the same time as I continue to finish the main house - and then later we can combine his work and my work in one single project???

Or can he draw the walls for the staircase house in another project, and then afterwards we can combine his project and my project or at least copy his work into my project???

Do you understand what I mean?? :wink:

Ok, I see the function "wall macros" - but how to use it??

Hello!

Is it possible to copy timbers from one wall to several equal walls???

Ok, very nice, it seems to work now.

Eiii, ei - no I did not. But I think it is easy to attach that information to the beams at this moment, wall for wall? Can it be done all at once, maybe in D-Cam?

Hmmm :cry: See here my settings and my result. What is wrong?

I have tried and tried an tried - but my wall drawing don't dimension the timber spacings in the wall.

Further more I made a nice drawing template - but it works only with scale 1:100 - can I change that template so that this will be "choice" or make a copy of the template and set the scale to 1:20 for wall drawings?

Hello! Ok, I understand now - it works very well! Thank's!!

Hello - what do you mean with "... add them to building_MOS of GF1_wall_xx." ??

In your point 2 I think you mean "Goto Dicam, activate all material in GF2_wall_1... (not GF1_wall_1).

And how to have Dicam to show only GF2_wall_1?? All these lines are confusing.

Aah of course - first of all I can deselect all other than GF1 and GF2 walls. And then I can use the plan view.

Zitat

Next time you do the right things at startup

Oh, yes - no doubt!! :lol:

I will try that what you suggest - even I am a beginner, I am a clever beginner... :lol: :lol:

Yes - all at once option would be nice!!

It is not possible to change it in the model - put all wall in one ground plan?? I have allready timbers inside the walls.

The same as at home - Windows XP pro, English (Danish at home). But I don't know if there are any difference between English and Danish version (shouldn't be).

What can be wrong?

Hello!

I get this error on a computer at my job - at home I don't have a problem making material lists - (except from that I don't know if I understand it...).

Thanks! But if I do this I will have to insert first GF1, then GF2 with some reference point, then GF3... That is not so easy.

Will these settings that you have marked insert GF1, GF2, etc. at once in the drawing?

Hello.

I didn't know - until too late - that I could change heights of single walls. So to make different heights, I made more than one groundplan GF1, GF2 etc. How stupid! :cry:

So now if I want to make a drawing of ground plan, it is difficult because I can't collect all GF1, GF2, etc at one time, and insert in drawing at one time!??

Good evening!

That's cool!!! :wink: Slanting rafters - that is the answer - fantastic!! Thank you very much for the answer, that's great!!!

Hello!

Hope someone can help me. I am going to put raftes at a house - but the rafters are going to be put in the other direction than normally - see enclosed pictures. The picture from Dietrich is done with battens, but I first of all they are positioned in wrong layer / slice and not in the core slice - secondly the first rafter at the eve is hanging in the air, but I could just delete it if I like. And that leads to another thing - how to do the overhang in this case?

But the first question is most interesting - how to put rafters in that direction? I thought about making a ceiling area, but ceiling don't have a slope...

Hello again... :wink:

Is it possible to copy items from one drawing to another?

Hello!

Der_planer: I think "ablage" is "groundplan"(?). I am not sure how you would delete the old plan after inserting new one.

What I was thinking of to do was almost what you suggest: I would delete the old drawing image (before I do so I would draw a helpline or point at a point that is going to stay) - then I can insert the new plandrawing - then there could be some text etc. that should be edited and / or moved.

Jens Krause's suggestion sounds almost as good as automatic update - it sounds like a bit smarter way to do it.

Of course if I want to keep the first version of the drawing to have more versions of the house / groundplan, I could first do a copy of the drawing before I change it. (I assume that is possible?).

But still - intelligense and connection between model, and drawings could be a good idea to implement in future updates. I know it is common in some other 3D drawing software. Then it could be convenient to have this choice: When you have made some changes in the model and you are ready for drawings - then the program should ask you: "keep existing drawing(s) - insert changed drawing in a copy of existing drawing(s)" or "overwrite existing drawing(s)". If option 1 is choosen then the program should ask you what point should stay in place.

How intelligent is the software?

I mean for example: If you have already made drawings, for example of the ground plan and then make changes in your model, move a wall, change wall thickness etc. - will the software then update the drawing??

So how intelligent is the software??
