  • DataCAD 21 • Re: Wall Cleanup July 10, 2020

After I inserted windows in the main wall the "T" intersections went away so I deleted the windows and redrew […]

    What about getting some stock images of people and creating symbols with the images. You would just have to make sure they are set to print first to avoid any overlap with your linework.Statistics: Posted by joshhuggins — Fri Jul 10, 2020 2:00 pm

  • Help Wanted • Re: Sun study July 9, 2020
    Hi Chris,You should be able to quickly model the spaces and use DataCAD's Sunshader which will show you the sun paths and also allows saved sun-shadow images that can automatically insert under the floor plan.

  • DataCAD 21 • Bitmaps disappearing July 7, 2020
    Anyone else having issues with bitmaps disappearing? I have been seeing it on Datacad 21 and a co-worker is seeing it on Datacad 20. We have to close Datacad completely down in order for the bitmaps to return. It's happening with bitmaps we have been using for years with no issues. Closing and reopening the […]

    In the Pattern select menu, try turning off ScaleToView if it's on and when it locks up try holding the END key to stop the drawing of the patters preview and see if that helps.Statistics: Posted by joshhuggins — Mon Jul 06, 2020 3:56 pm

    I've done that by opening the .dca in word, and after a few search and replace, paste into a table, and sort by 2nd column, can create that list in about 5 minutes or less.Statistics: Posted by Roger D — Mon Jul 06, 2020 3:41 pm
