If your room has eight' ceilings, create a window that has a base superlative of 4' and is 4' high.  Set up ignore opening to 'No' and shut the menu. Grab the vertex handles of the window and pull them to each side of the wall.

host CatAdjuster.org Founder Posts:708 03/11/2011 10:03 AM Maybe you lot could endeavour using the Reference Block equally shown in the sample below. . Ray, In some cases the client requires that a diagram exist included using the production they require and that the repairs be included in same estimate

Leland Avant-garde Member Posts:741 03/13/2011 3:42 AM re how to put a countertop on the pony wall? do y'all mean draw it in sketch? since the countertop is non a "room" or even a wall but simply a feature within a room that is ordinarily estimated past manually inbound its foursquare footage without fifty-fifty cartoon information technology on the diagram, my proffer would be to just enter the appropriate line items in the correct room and exist done with it. Some of the line items would be countertop subdeck, mortar bed or backerboard, and of form the tile. But if you really want to draw information technology there is a little foursquare symbol on xm8 for drawing squares and rectangles so you lot merely drag a little rectangle onto your floorplan. At that place is also a circle that can be stetched into an ellipse and also lines, arrows, and text that tin be added. Just look at the symols in the bar above at the superlative of the sketch window, the same bar that has the room square that yous are already using. If you are really into the detail, you can make your own architectural symbols. A modest rectangle and an ellipse brand a toilet. A larger rectangle with an ellipse inside of it makes a bath tub. To brand a very accurate countertop you tin can brand a temporary room off to one side that is the same size equally the countertop. Next drag over a rectangle and brand it the same size as the temporary room. Next drag the rectangle onto your real room, and delete the temporary room that was just for getting the countertop size correct. Next click on the alphabetic character "T" to write the word "countertop" on your sketch, so take an arrow from the word "countertop" and point information technology at your rectangle. Now you lot accept a perfectly scaled countertop that is also labeled so everyone can encounter it. Personally I might depict some countertops but I wouldn't carp to label them or try to brand them perfect calibration.

host CatAdjuster.org Founder Posts:708 03/23/2011 4:34 PM Cheers Jud. One advantage to using the Reference Block is that information technology contains variables that y'all can use in your approximate for example SF, LF, SY, CY and EA. And then for example say you needed to supersede a Tile Countertop y'all could apply BLOCK1.SF in the "Calc" field which would return the foursquare footage of the acme.  This may exist overkill in this case but it can exist useful in some cases. Variables and Formulas tin be existent useful when you build a Macro.  Some people build macros by using amounts instead of formulas which tin pb to errors and in about cases will require y'all to edit the Qty field.

10/xiii/2011 1:59 PM The proper fashion to sketch a half wall is to use either the room tool OR the wall tool (i.e. wall protruding into a room).  One time the wall is fatigued, click on that wall. Go into the wall properties screen. Under "Missing stop to stop" select YES The organisation volition automatically modify wall thickness to 0".  Fix information technology back to four" And so at "Opening Base Height", set the wall superlative (4' or whichever superlative it is) The analogy in a higher place was put in using the wall tool.  Try information technology, become into 3D, and it will be precise.  This is not exactly intuitive, merely is elementary once you try it, and your variables will all exist exactly correct.  Chris Hatcher, AIC, Xactimate Certified Trainer
