    Yes?

    Best ramp building tip?

    I'd say it has to be a roof.

    Quick reply doesn't allow to send a (Big Cheesy Grin) graphically so.

    BTW Allen? What's up with the ticker tape style signatures some people are using??

    So - tell us about your ramp...

    I wrote code in 1984 to make my Sinclair 100 - so I used to be a programmer! So I can say with authority how easy it is to program Chief features! ;-)

    Allen,

    That's two in one day. That's another tip I had missed entirely. Cool beans. Uh oh, people are going to think messy rambling has a productive side.

    Yep I'm saying thanks as well. 10 points!!
    So **** simple and easy, we are alll saying why didn't I think of that years ago!! You can teach an old dog new tricks. Chief forums rock!
    I've used white boxes since we had to use them to cover up things so we could copy and paste our cad drawn details over the top. I still use them nearly every plan as quick fixes in the odd places. My background is still set to a light shade of grey so I can see where they are (and for eye strain).

    I'd like white box button!!!!

    Sorry to bump this back, but this works great for hatching out stairs half way to show a full basement condition.

    Paul, good use for it, also, can be used to show Optional stuff in builders sets, like extra windows, fireplace etc, in plan view or elevations. many thanks for sharing.
